Meadows Church

Discipleship is long obedience in the same direction, and the result is always multiplication. We took a look in Pt. 1 of "Go and Make Disciples" at three out of five values of the discipleship process at Meadows Church. 1 – THE PROCESS IS SIMPLE. 2 – THE CURRICULUM IS THE BIBLE 3 – THE TEACHER IS THE HOLY SPIRIT This message will take a look at the FOCUS and the RESULT of discipleship. We believe...

If you are a follower of Jesus, you are a saint. You are a disciple. And you are called to go and make disciples. Even if you’re not a follower of Jesus right now, lean into this message. The church is not about weekly attendance. It’s not about a pastor ministering to the body. It’s about the body ministering to the body and multiplying! How do we truly follow Jesus’ instructions to make disciple...

Do you struggle understanding what your God-given purpose is?...

Your joy today is based on your security forever. Happiness is based on happenings, but JOY is based on JESUS! In Acts 16, we see an example of true joy not based on circumstances, but security.

This message from the sermon series Fruit of the Spirit will give you practical ways to...

Surrender is not giving God *something* it’s giving God EVERYTHING! Jesus did not come to earth to prove that he was right, he came to make an eternal difference. Time and time again, Jesus proved that it's not about what you declare, it's what you demonstrate that really matters to the heart of God. What does that look like in the fruit of the Spirit? Pastor Monte takes us through the story of th...

Are you settling for "good enough"? What's God asking you to do with your life? What area do you need to "cut the cord" or "burn the plow"?

Jesus didn’t come to give us answers, He came to BE the answer! 🙌 Even in the Christian faith, it's easy to base what we believe off of what we feel, or even from what's written in the Word.

Happy Easter! www.meadows.church

Just because you’re close to something doesn’t mean you’re connected 🤔 Sometimes we may feel like we're still close to Jesus when we're actually being driven further and further away from him one bad decision at a time. Sin separates us from God and all that is good. How do we avoid it? We have to stay CONNECTED! As the church, we must be unified. The devil wants division, but God wants UNITY amo...

We are in a battle, and we need to stand firm on the one who is faithful and true. This message has life...

Generous people don’t assume what they’re given is theirs to consume. How often do we neglect life after death, but invest so much in our life here on this earth? Here’s a great truth for today: This world is NOT our home! There is nothing wrong with being responsible financially, but our tendency to consume is not in alignment with Godly generosity. How can we change our lifestyle from ownership...
