Saraland Church with Jason Mayfield

What if the Pentecostal experience you've been settling for is the spiritual equivalent of instant mashed potatoes? Pastor Jason Mayfield kicks off the "We Are Openly Spirit-Filled" series with a challenge to every believer who's ever wondered why their spiritual experiences don't last past the parking lot. Using Acts 8 and the story of Simon the Sorcerer, Jason unpacks three n...

What if the breakthrough you've been waiting for isn't about working harder—but about getting aligned with God's anointing? In this episode, Pastor Jason Mayfield unpacks the story of Jehu from 2 Kings 9 to show how the anointing operates to bring favor into every area of your life. You'll learn: → Why the anointing causes people to act quickly on your behalf → How circumstances th...

At Christmas, we’re surrounded by symbols of peace—but many of them only work for a moment. In this message, Pastor Jason Mayfield tells the story of growing up in a chaotic home where Christmas brought a temporary ceasefire, only to disappear when the decorations came down. From there, he introduces what the Bible calls a better tree —the tree Jesus bore our sins on—and explains how encountering...

This episode teaches how faith doesn’t just affect one generation—it multiplies when it continues through several. Using Hebrews 11, Pastor Jason shows how Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph each illustrate a different stage of generational faith development. Here’s the core idea: The longer faith continues in a family, the more powerful it becomes. Influence becomes inheritance. Inheritance become...

In this message, Pastor Jason unpacks the story of Athaliah and Joash and shows how it mirrors the cultural pressures facing the next generation today. We’re living in a moment where the dominant voice discipling young people isn’t a teacher, a pastor, or a parent — it’s the algorithm . And it’s shaping attention, values, and identity through nonstop dopamine stimulation. But the church has always...

In today’s message, Pastor Jason teaches on the highest level of hearing God: direct communication . Not sensing. Not recall of Scripture. Not a flow of revelation. But when the Lord speaks to you through your thoughts—clearly, specifically, and in a way you can recognize. Using 1 Kings 19 as the framework, you’ll learn how Elijah differentiated the voice of God from the noise around him. Pastor J...

In this episode, Pastor Jason teaches on the third level of hearing from God: revelation. Not the casual “I think God told me…” language people throw around. Real revelation. The kind Scripture describes. The kind John experienced on Patmos. This episode explores: The difference between “a word from God” and genuine revelation Why revelation is large in scope and reshapes your theology How the sec...

In this practical message, Pastor Jason Mayfield shows that Scripture and the Spirit don’t compete—they cooperate. When you give God 27 minutes a day—15 in the Bible, 7 in prayer, and 5 in worship—you stock the Holy Spirit’s vocabulary inside you and build a rhythm that transforms your quality of life. This is more than a sermon—it’s a workshop for building your daily secret-place habit.

How does the Holy Spirit actually teach us? Jesus said the Helper would teach us all things and bring His words to our remembrance (John 14:26 ESV). That means the Holy Spirit speaks primarily through Scripture—but in real time, in real life, as you need it. In this episode, I break down three practical ways the Holy Spirit teaches: 1️⃣ While you’re reading the Bible (illumination and instruction)...

Preaching is level one for hearing from God—powerful and essential, but not the whole journey. Pastor Jason shows how good preaching produces real results, why showing up positions you to receive, and how serving unlocks behind-the-scenes revelation. Scriptures: 2 Timothy 3:14–4:5; Romans 10:13–17; 1 Corinthians 3:10–15; Hebrews 10:24–25; Acts 20:7–12; John 2:1–11; Revelation 14:6. 

We launch We Are Rooted in the Bible by unpacking why Scripture is inspired , trustworthy , and powerful —and how a simple standard of four days a week plus whole-Bible reading transforms your life. We cover theopneustos (“God-breathed”), verbal plenary inspiration, translation choices, and why “the sum of Your word is truth” is the handle that lets you wield the sword rightly. Scriptures: 2 Tim 3...

Peace in the home doesn’t just happen — it has to be built. In this message we walk through a surprising passage in Leviticus 14 that lays out a biblical process for dealing with conflict, dysfunction, and the things that quietly steal peace. You’ll learn how to inspect the irritation , evaluate the environment , contain the contagion , and terminate the terminal — practical steps that bring real...

Revival isn’t a theory—it’s a cycle. In this message, we look at how God moves through formation, consecration, and visitation to prepare His people for a great outpouring. Using Joel 2 and Acts 2, we explore what happens when the Holy Spirit begins to move in power—salvations multiply, hearts are transformed, and the presence of God fills His house again. This is a call for pastors to return to t...

Every believer has a ministry. In this message, we look at Numbers 3–4 and 2 Timothy to see how the Levites’ work in the tabernacle points us to our role in the church today. From hospitality to children’s ministry, worship, media, and giving, every part matters. The call is clear: fulfill your ministry.

When a church tries to do everything, it ends up doing nothing. In this message, we lay out why focus is faithfulness to the mission and how we’re aligning Saraland Church around four lanes that create a powerful Sunday morning experience: preaching, worship, kids, and hospitality. From the prophet’s parable in 1 Kings 20:35–43 (ESV) —“as your servant was busy here and there”—to Paul’s teaching on...

This message lays out a clear strategy for reaching the lost. Relationships serve as the catalyst, the local church is where decisions are made, and discipleship keeps people growing. The teaching unpacks the numbers, the process, and the steps we can all take together to see lives transformed.

The Great Commission is more than a command—it’s our mission. In this message, we explore Mark 16 and discover why the gospel is for all people, why discipleship takes time, and why eternity demands urgency.

The Trinity is not an abstract idea. It’s the center of Christian faith and the doctrine that holds everything else together. In this episode, we walk through what Scripture teaches about Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, why the early church defended this truth, and how the Trinity makes salvation unshakable. From Abraham’s story to the councils of Nicaea and Constantinople, we see how God has reveal...

Psalm 103 reminds us not to forget the benefits that flow from the finished work of Jesus Christ. In this message, we walk through five promises that belong to every believer: forgiveness, healing, redemption, favor, and satisfaction. These aren’t vague hopes—they are covenant benefits secured at the cross. When we place our faith in Jesus, grace releases everything we need.

Why does Jesus matter? In this message, we walk through three key moments in Scripture that answer the question clearly: the Fall, the Law, and the Cross. The Fall shows us the problem of sin that became everyone’s problem. The Law shows us the opportunity that revealed our inability to meet God’s standard. And the Cross shows us the sufficient solution—Jesus Christ, who fulfilled every requiremen...

In this message, Pastor Jason Mayfield launches our new series We Are Building Everything on Jesus . This is the first of our eight core values at Saraland Church: We are building a Jesus-centered, Spirit-filled church for all people. If we get Jesus wrong, we get everything wrong. The Bible calls Him the chief cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20) and the only true foundation for life and faith (1 Corinth...

In this message, we look at how leadership shifts from season to season—and why that’s exactly how God designed it. From Moses and Joshua to Elijah and Elisha to David and Solomon, Scripture shows us that different personalities, approaches, and eras require different kinds of leaders. We talk about the temptation to compare new leadership to old leadership, and how to move forward with faith, not...
