Got Questions?

Do you have questions? Have an idea that you would like to hear more teaching on? We want to know what they are! Starting Sunday, July 11th, we will be doing a series called, ‘You Asked For It”.

We will spend several weeks answering your questions. That’s right, you set the topics for these messages. We will do our best to answer as many submitted questions as possible and we promise you, we will keep your identity confidential.

The best way to ‘ask for it’ by submitting your questions is to visit Meadowland’s website and fill out the “You Asked For It” form by clicking this Link or by filling out your communication card on Sunday Morning.

Remember, the only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked, so send them in!

Sunday Rewind 5.23.10

- Sunday was BEAUTIFUL weather wise, and I was so THANKFUl for the air-conditioning units in the auditorium that were donated last year!! Made a HUGE difference.

-John and his team did a fantastic job leading us in worship Sunday! The team performed “Hold Us Together” as a response song and seriously rocked it!

- I taught on Exodus 17:8-12 on Sunday.  I really enjoyed teaching from the Old Testament!

- There are times in our lives when God Blesses Us and their other times He Calls Us to Battle!!

- I believe the following 3 things about all of us:

1. God wants to do an incredible work in you and through you!
2. Life is a Journey and we WILL experience battles along the way!
3. You cannot do battle alone for long!

- One of the things I find so interesting about Exodus 7:8-12 is that the Israelites very well could have lost the battle is Moses was ARROGANT enough to think he do what God asked him to do ALONE.

- In your life do you have people around you that hold you up, encourage you and pray for you  when you are in Battle?

-If not there are several ways to begin building those relationships at Meadowland Church today!!

- I am PUMPED about our upcoming Series:

• Starting on June 6th we are going back into the Sermon on the Mount to study prayer in a three week series called “Pray Like Jesus”
• Starting on July we are launching a new series called “You Asked For It”.  We will be answering questions that have been submitted by you on Sunday Mornings.
• If you would like to  submit your question for the “You Asked For It” Series, you can do so by clicking HERE.

- Meadowland Church- I love you and am so thankful for you.  I am so excited to see what Jesus will do next as we continue to take our next steps on the Journey together!!

Sunday In Review 5.02.10

- Seriously, I am having a hard time believing that it is already May, although I am loving the weather!

-Again this weekend at Meadowland Church we saw people surrender their lives to Jesus and take the next steps on their journey.

- I have to throw out a SHOUT OUT to Kurt and Carmen Rice for all the hard work they did on the Illustration this Sunday.  I showed up Sunday and it was there all set up and ready to go.  Thank you for help and service.

- There were a ton of things going on Sunday morning that usually do not happen.  There were technical issues, key people got sick or could not make it do to surprise circumstances.  I believe Satan did not want this Sunday to happen at Meadowland Church. Thank you to everyone who filled it, worked extra hard, and LEAD the Charge this week.  You are all amazing!!

- We believe LIFE is a JOURNEY and YOU should not have to walk ALONE.  No matter where you are at on your JOURNEY, we want to help you take the next steps towards Jesus.

- At the end of the Sermon of the Mount (Matthew 7:28-29), Matthew records that as people listened to WHAT Jesus had to say and HOW He said it, that they recognized His AUTHORITY.

- I love this quote from Andy Stanley, ” People who are the most dissatisfied with God are those who have never fully surrendered to him.”

- Our relationship with Jesus, our obedience to Scripture, and our Spiritual Growth all start with SURRENDERING to Christ’s AUTHORITY.

- When we try to bring our desire for CONVENIENCE into the our relationship with God and the Church, we begin to walk on very dangerous ground!!

- Jesus did not DIE on the CROSS and RAISE from the DEAD to leave us the way we are.  He want more for us, He wants us to have LIFE TO THE FULL (John 10:10).

- The Worship team lead us in the song “From the Inside Out” by Hillsong – that song MOVED ME!!  Powerful words for worship!!

- We talked about a guy named Demas today.  Demas hung out with Paul and was involved with Paul’s Ministry, however when things got tough and the cost was too high, Demas BAILED on Paul for “his love for the present world”. (2 Timothy 4:9-10).

-Sunday’s Message was a hard one, but I believe Jesus really is calling us to take the next steps on our Journey and ask ourselves the question: ” is there ANY area in MY life that I need to SURRENDER to you” .

- For the next 4 weeks we will be answering the question “What Now?” and discovering God’s truth as we take the next steps on the Journey!!

-Meadowland Church- Jesus is doing amazing things in and through the people that make up HIS Church.  Thank you for your willingness to follow Jesus, even when it is not easy!!  I believe Jesus has more in store for us.   Continue to surrender to Jesus, make Him LORD of your Life and put NOTHING before HIM!!
