Meadows Church

If you’re not in the Word of God, there is ZERO percent chance you’ll live your purpose. There is only ONE way to defeat the lies of Satan: God’s Word. Reading God’s Word is true. It’s FOR YOU. Scripture corrects, teaches, prepares, equips, and it contains the greatest news in the world. The question for us is — are we letting it truly change us? Are we willing to accept the correction? Or are we...

Jesus said "Come, follow me" AND "Go and make disciples". He did many miracles during His ministry, but it didn't stop there! Miracles continued to happen even after Jesus was physically gone. God accomplishes His purposes through His people! When we allow God to use us for His good, miracles break out and lives are transformed. Will you let God work through you to change someone's life?

GUILT says, “Look what I’VE done…” GRACE says, “Look what GOD’S done!” There is only one way to heal from the guilt and shame you’ve been feeling over the things in your past, present, or future that you regret. We need to shift our FOCUS! When your focus shifts from GUILT to GRACE, healing begins. And it’s available to you today!

Desperate people don’t let ANYTHING or ANYONE keep them from Jesus You have a HUGE part to play in the miracles that God wants to do in your life Your PERSISTENCE, your PATIENCE, your POSTURE…They all matter! One of Jesus’ final miracles before he took the cross was healing a blind man. But it wasn’t just sight the blind man was asking Jesus for. He was desperate for MERCY. Our need is bigger than...

Believing means more than “I agree”; It means “I will follow” A relationship with Jesus doesn’t end with believing. That’s only the beginning. Just because you can’t see what’s next doesn’t mean there’s not something next. Paul and Silas didn’t know exactly what was next when they were thrown in prison, but they knew that there was something. At that moment, their belief meant doing the next right...

There are only two instances in Scripture when Jesus uses his supernatural power to destroy something in nature. One of them happened to be a fig tree. Why did Jesus do this? Why is this miracle significant to our lives today? The story of Jesus cursing the fig tree teaches us about FAILURE and FAITH. When you follow Jesus, you're meant to bear fruit. When anything quits producing fruit, it always...

Every MIRACLE starts with a problem. And in every miracle we see in Jesus’ ministry, there is one main ingredient: Compassion. Truly loving God ALWAYS leads to compassionate action towards people! There are two crowds of people — one heading to a cemetery and another to a city. Within those crowds are three types of people. Which type are you? You have an opportunity to KNOW Jesus today!

Jesus, we have a problem. Every miracle starts with a problem. Many know about the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine, but oftentimes, the details of the story get overlooked. It would have taken a long time for this miracle to take place, and a lot of PEOPLE doing WORK. You see, God WORKS through people who WORK! If you want to see the miracles of God, you have to SERVE the God of miracles!...

What is God asking of you? What is he nudging you to do? What step is he asking you to take? As we close out the series "Faith That Moves", we look at James 5 in which James encourages us all to stay patient, have endurance, stay steadfast, and also to live with eternity in mind. When you live with eternity in mind, you have faith that moves.

Are you cheating on God? Are you giving people, places, and things more attention than God? James tells us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear. We all have blind spots. Nobody wants to be an "enemy" of God. God’s LOVE is unconditional; His CLOSENESS is totally conditional. Where God moves depends on your move. The Truth only sets you free when you LIVE it!

Words matter. Your words have a significant impact, not just for now but for eternity. Where are your words taking you? Are they leading you into Faith that moves or are they pulling you from it? Are your words giving life? Are they poison or are they fruit? James 3 teaches us that we need to be mindful of what we speak, and not just mindful, but intentional! If we have the option to speak life or...

There are 3 different types of faith: 1. Dead Faith 2. Deceptive Faith 3. Dynamic Faith Where do you land? How can we live a life of truly DYNAMIC faith where moments lead to movement? We look at what James 2 has to say in the sermon series Faith That Moves!

ENDURANCE. This is the key to living your purpose! We overestimate what God can do in the short-term and underestimate what God will do in the long-term. We are bound to face difficulties and struggles throughout this life. Keep GOING and keep GROWING.

God, why can't I stop messing up? Why do I keep sinning when I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior? Why do I keep struggling with the same issues? We are in a battle, but not of flesh and blood. You have an enemy who is going to try to attack you from every angle, and as human beings, we are naturally drifting toward what is bad. Holy Spirit power means nothing unless you allow that power to...

God, Why Are Young People Leaving Faith? Frankly, oftentimes the reason why young people leave the faith is due to the example (or lack thereof) being set by those who have gone before them. It’s critical to model what it looks like to live like CHRIST. What you do, how you walk the walk matters — eternally. Young people need a biblical worldview. They need discipline. They need LOVE. Commit to Go...

God, why church? Why is it so important to be part of the church? Why should we come back week after week? A step toward the church is a step toward Christ. Likewise, a step away from the church is a step away from Christ. The church is the BODY of Christ, his BRIDE! You can’t separate Jesus from his church. Is the church flawed and messy? Absolutely, because it’s full of people. But Jesus took th...

God, Why Don’t You Hear Me When I Cry Out to You? We’ve all felt abandoned at times — even by God. You need to know a powerful truth today — just because you don’t always hear God doesn’t mean God doesn’t hear you! He hears you. He loves you. When we cry out, God always responds, and his responses always come from a place of love.

We all need to believe this: God loves me. He wants the best for me. He wants the best for those around me. So why does God not heal in every situation? Why does God allow certain things to happen? Why do we not see the healing we read about in Scripture as much today? We ask the questions, and we look to his word for answers!

The more you understand the Good News, the more generous you become. Everything else is worthless compared to knowing Jesus. You will make a Kingdom impact when you believe the gospel of Jesus and live with a generous heart. The final instructions Paul gave before he left this world seem super simple, but when we actually put them into practice? Your life and the lives of those around you will nev...

The decisions you make today will impact lives for eternity. What decision(s) have the most impact for eternity? Whether or not we live and love like Jesus. Jesus saw people. He had compassion. He met needs. Your life can make an eternal difference. Sometimes we feel like just another face in the crowd, but when you do for ONE what you wish you could do for everyone, you're living with a kingdom m...

How we live depends largely on where we think our home is. Being a spender or a saver is not always a bad thing...as long as you invest in the kingdom of God. The things of this world will fade, and this world is not your forever home.

What does it mean to live with a Kingdom Mindset? In the spectrum of eternity, our lives are so small. Having a kingdom mindset means investing in what matters most -- the kingdom of God. But what has your heart? Whatever has your heart is where your treasure will flow

What is worship? Why is worship important? How do we worship? How do we respond to the goodness of God? A life of worship. True, authentic, genuine, love-inspired worship is more than a song. It's not just limited to the weekend or the walls of the church. True worship is a lifestyle lived out -- faith expressed. How do you express faith in God? We are meant to lay down our lives as living and hol...

Do you believe you're worthy of the forgiving grace of God? There’s celebration in the forgiveness of sins because it results in a genuinely changed life. Forgiveness is freely given, but in order to truly receive it, you've got to be honest with YOURSELF, with GOD, and with SOMEONE ELSE. Come out of the darkness and into the light!

Jesus calls us to be counter-cultural. The world tells us to seek success, build a platform, take more, and fulfill ourselves. While the world tells us to be first and do everything we can to get to the front of the line, Jesus tells us to race to the back. Submission isn’t often thought of as a positive thing, but what if we told you that it actually leads to FREEDOM! Check out this message to he...
