Jesus didn’t avoid the messy. He moved toward it. He wasn’t afraid of being guilty by association because He brought grace by association. He shared meals with sinners, welcomed the outcasts, and called the unlikely. He saw potential where others saw problems. He didn’t wait for people to clean up before coming to Him. He invited them first, and transformation followed. How do we treat the people...

Jesus didn’t occasionally participate in the sabbath, it was part of his rhythm and routine. Jesus not only understood the importance of rest but that intimacy with and dependence on God is non-negotiable. Jesus “often” withdrew to the wilderness for prayer. It was his “custom” to partake in the Sabbath. Jesus didn’t lean into urgency, but intimacy. He was rooted in dependence on the father and so...

What if the problem isn’t Jesus—but the way we've misrepresented Him? In this powerful message, we explore the radical humility of Jesus: a leader who knelt to wash feet, carried betrayal without bitterness, and submitted fully to the will of the Father. True leadership doesn’t impress. It serves. Real transformation begins when we stop performing and start obeying. Humility means submitting to Go...

True love inspires true obedience. Jesus wasn’t obedient to the will of the father because it was his obligation or duty. He was obedient because he truly loved the Father. It’s not possible to live in willing disobedience and simultaneously love the father with everything we’ve got. How can we live more like Jesus and choose loving obedience? The Father’s kindness leads us to repentance and his i...

If you allow the Holy Spirit to guide your life, you won’t do what the sinful nature craves Jesus set an example of a life led by the Spirit. He lived a life of complete obedience and we are called to do the same It’s impossible to live your God-given purpose on your own strength and power. The Spirit will always lead us to Jesus and others. This message will help you see how to live in that same...

Jesus had all of the physical attributes of you and I as a human being. What was Jesus PASSIONATE about? What really MATTERED to him? What if you were to wrap God around every passion of yours? Your purpose in life will always be tied to something that matters to the heart of God, and nothing matters more to him than people How can we combine our passions with God’s passion for people? How can we...

Join us for a powerful service from Meadows Church titled "Reach One More." In this moving message, we hear heartfelt testimonies from Sebastian and Jen as they share their personal journeys of finding hope and healing through faith, overcoming struggles with anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Discover the importance of reaching out to the next person—someone who might be walking a similar path—and ma...

Joy isn’t found in holding on—it’s found in letting go. You weren’t created to live with clenched fists. You were made to give, to trust, and to worship with your whole life. Do you feel stuck in worry, anxiety, or frustration? Do you want to experience more peace, more clarity, more joy? God’s Word makes it clear: joy-filled living begins with joy-filled giving. It’s time to take a step of faith....

Forgetting the Past | Unshakable Joy by Meadows Church

If we say we follow Christ, we should want to live as he lived Jesus came to serve, not to BE served, and give his life as a ransom for many. Jesus set an example of serving that is meant to be followed, just just admired. If we say we’ve been changed from the inside out by Jesus, then we should have a desire to give our lives in serving HIM. How can we do that? How can we set an example of having...

In your suffering, in your struggle there is an opportunity for WORSHIP and WITNESS Even in your discouragement, God has not given up on you. Remember his promise that he will finish what he started. He is with you and he is for you. Your circumstances aren’t nearly as important as what you do with them. Our response to suffering and struggling shows what we really believe! Happiness may be circum...

There are many famous “stones” throughout Scripture. The stone tablets with the 10 Commandments written on them, the stone that slayed Goliath, and of course: The stone that was rolled away when Jesus resurrected from the grave! The stone wasn’t rolled away so Jesus could get out, but that we might look in and see that the tomb was empty and our king was alive! There is another story of a woman ca...

The one thing that hold you back from God will be the one thing that hold you back from God What’s that one thing you’re holding back from God? What is the area (or areas) you struggle to trust him? Many times we put our faith in our own plan or just about anything besides God. How can sheep in scripture teach us about trusting in God and his supernatural provision? This Easter season, we are look...

Failure does not define you. How you respond to that failure is what defines you. We all go through failure in different seasons of life. How will we respond? Are we allowing doubt over our past mistakes define our present or future? Guilt over past mistakes can be so crippling. But there is no way to “out-sin” the grace of God. The disciple Peter is a great example of this as the failure of his d...

God has a purpose for you just as you are. Our weakness makes room for God’s power. God didn’t just save you FROM something, he saved you FOR something! This Easter season, we are taking a look at the final days of Jesus’s life on earth through the lenses of some different characters. Jesus rode into the city of Jerusalem on a donkey’s colt, which had major significance. Not only was Jesus riding...

In your relationships, choose FAITH over FEAR. Sometimes it's easier said than done to live a righteous life, especially when we face persecution. But persecution is an opportunity to rejoice, to be glad, to know that we are setting the right example of a Godly life in Christ. Are we willing to count the cost of truly following Jesus? How do we stay on the narrow path with so much pressure to conf...

Why does purity matter for Christians? What does Jesus say about it? “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” When it comes to purity, we don’t just need BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION, we need HEART TRANSFORMATION. The world tells us to follow our heart and live our own truth, but that’s dangerous because the heart is inherently wicked. How can we allow Jesus to truly transform us from the...

We all face conflict in our lives, but how do we handle it? How do we deal with it? Jesus said blessed are the peacemakers. We have a responsibility to make peace and seek forgiveness. To seek restoration. Followers of Jesus are the most forgiven people in the world, and therefore should be the most forgiving people in the world. Being a peacemaker is one of the best ways to share your faith and s...

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness—God satisfies. How can we pursue righteousness in our homes? Whether we are parents or in a relationship or single, our lives can point others to Jesus. The reality is, the way we live our life is pointing somebody somewhere. This message will teach us three ways we can practically hunger and thirst for righteousness, seeking the blessings...

Willpower alone won’t change your life. No matter how well-intentioned we may be, on our own, we cannot sustain good habits. We need the power of the Holy Spirit, which is available, accessible, and abundant! How do we access the power of the Spirit of God? We can learn a lot from Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament and lived out the example of relying on the power of the Holy Spirit. We all...

You Reap What You Sow | Staying Disciplined by Meadows Church

You are ONE HABIT AWAY from changing your life forever. TRYING, however, isn’t the answer — if that’s not the answer, what is? There’s a big difference between trying and training. We have all chosen and developed habits throughout our lives. How do we start living the life God purposed and plans for us? It requires us to do something — no matter what — TODAY.

Discipline is long obedience in the right direction. True transformation happens when we move from hope to habit, allowing God to renew our minds and shape our daily choices. Stay connected to Him, take small, consistent steps, and trust that steady plodding brings prosperity. What’s one habit you can commit to today?

More than anything, God longs for us to be in His presence. And He longs for our presence over our productivity in many cases, as we learn from Moses in Exodus 24. Like planting a garden, spiritual growth requires patience. This message dives into why you shouldn't 'dig up the seed' of faith prematurely and the importance of trusting God's timing. Running to God in a waiting season is never wasted...

Genuine worship requires sacrifice. How can we live a life of true sacrificial worship that is pleasing to God? Sacrificial worship moves the heart of God and impacts the people of God. Our life is meant to be one filled with faith and oftentimes we hold back for fear or discomfort. But today is a new day! This message will teach you how to run to God and respond to his goodness and faithfulness i...
