Are you carrying a quiet suspicion that God&#39;s goodness toward you depends on how well you behaved this week? Pastor Jason Mayfield opens the Our Father series by walking straight through Romans 5 with no notes and no points, letting Paul make the case that grace is unmerited favor extended in full measure to everyone who believes. The message draws a line most of us have never seen: what happens spiritually the second you are saved, and what has to happen in your understanding before it shows up physically. Discover how growing in grace produces real hope, real freedom, and the confidence to come boldly before the throne.

Why does prayer end up being the last thing we do instead of the first? Pastor Jason Mayfield opens Mark 9, where Jesus tells his disciples that some things come out only by prayer, and launches a new teaching series through the Lord&#39;s Prayer at Saraland Church. He walks through all seven parts, from Our Father to For thine is the kingdom, and introduces the Power 27 framework of twenty-seven minutes a day with Jesus.

Why does church attendance still matter when you can hear any preacher you want online? Pastor Jason Mayfield answers that question from Matthew 13, Hebrews 10, and 2 Peter 2 — the church is not a preference, it is a place of renewal you cannot reproduce anywhere else.

Are you waiting to feel inspired before you&#39;ll participate in worship? Pastor Jason Mayfield says the feeling isn&#39;t coming — and Isaiah 61 proves it, because every solution God offers is a garment you put on while the heaviness is still there. This message lays out five physical postures of vibrant worship and why your participation may matter more for the person standing next to you than it does for you.

Is your best story about God something that happened years ago? In this Vision Update from the Here We Grow series, Pastor Jason Mayfield walks through the Old Testament timeline, lands in Jeremiah 16, and makes the case that the church&#39;s glory days are ahead of it and not behind it — then gives an honest, unusually transparent update on where Saraland Church is headed, including a major announcement about the church&#39;s name.

Why do some churches grow and still never seem to work? You can have the crowd, the calendar, and the mission statement on the wall — and quietly drift into simply keeping the doors open. In this message, Pastor Jason Mayfield teaches on the fivefold ministry from Ephesians 4 and shows why an apostolic and prophetic foundation is what separates a living church from a religious organization.

Before Elijah was ever hungry, the ravens were there. Before he was ever thirsty, the brook was there. Then the brook dried up — and God said nothing. Ashleigh Mayfield opens 1 Kings 17 with three promises for the season you&#39;re in — God is faithful to provide, to develop you, and to direct you. The question underneath all of it — who are you when your brook is drying up?

Who Are You When Your Brook Dries Up?

The final message in For All People. Pastor Jason Mayfield deals plainly with race and the local church — no statistics, no politics — and lands on three commitments from Scripture: a commitment to listen, a commitment to cover, and a commitment to greater honor. It ends with a prayer most churches wouldn&#39;t dare pray: &#34;Father, send us people that make us uncomfortable.&#34;Colossians 3.11–14 · James 1.19–21 · 1 Corinthians 12.23–25 · Romans 12 00:00 Welcome — Turn to Colossians 300:19 Eleven Months of Values: The Series of Series01:28 The Eight Core Values04:41 A Jesus-Centered, Spirit-Filled Church For All People05:48 Scripture — Colossians 3.11–1406:44 What I Actually Mean by &#34;For All People&#34;07:47 An Integrated Church Takes Intention09:21 I&#39;m Not Going to Solve Racism Today10:15 Racism Is More Than Overt Hate11:59 Why I&#39;m Not Preaching on Systems Today14:03 Systematic vs. Symptomatic Racism14:51 Everybody Is Racist to Some Degree15:56 Snap Judgments and the McDonald&#39;s Window16:19 Mobile&#39;s Uniquely Palpable Race Problem18:25 When Good Intentions Make It Worse19:26 Commitment #1: A Commitment to Listen (James 1)20:42 2020: Floyd, Taylor, and Arbery23:15 What I Did: Phone Calls and Books25:41 White Fragility and Why We Get Defensive27:39 When Someone Tells You Their Experience, Believe Them28:40 &#34;Help Me Understand&#34;29:53 Commitment #2: A Commitment to Cover (1 Cor. 12)30:42 Greater Modesty: When You&#39;re the Only One in the Room32:16 Why &#34;I Don&#39;t See Color&#34; Doesn&#39;t Work34:10 Play It Cool: How to Welcome People Well35:59 Commitment #3: A Commitment to Greater Honor36:40 Race, Culture, and Heritage in the South37:32 The Confederate Flag: Pride, Legacy, and Pain38:32 Proud to Be Southern41:16 What That Same Flag Means to Someone Else41:50 Greater Honor Costs Something43:36 Review: Listen, Cover, Honor43:59 Romans 12 — Transformed by the Renewal of Your Mind46:26 Why the Statistics Won&#39;t Solve This47:01 &#34;I See You, I Hear You, I Stand With You&#34;47:54 Ministry Is a People Thing48:55 Prayer — Send Us People Who Make Us Uncomfortable

Is abortion a political problem or a people problem? In Week 4 of For All People, we take on one of the most sensitive topics in our culture. We say plainly where we stand — pro-life, anti-abortion, life begins at conception — but this message was never about scoring political points. Overturning Roe v. Wade didn&#39;t stop abortion. Truth alone doesn&#39;t change hearts. Even the science doesn&#39;t move people. The only thing that reaches the one in four women who will face this decision is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because in the end, it&#39;s not about positions. It&#39;s about people.

We call ourselves the United States, but lately it feels far more divided than united — and the church often navigates that divide poorly. This message asks a hard question: have we quietly become party first, country second, and kingdom last?The real division was never between Republicans and Democrats. Scripture says our fight is not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12), and that we&#39;ve inherited a kingdom that cannot be shaken (Hebrews 12:28). We work through three things pulling us apart — the outrage algorithm, our own assumptions, and the pull of the extremes — and two practical ways to stay kingdom-minded: keep the main thing the main thing, and detox from the constant noise of the world (Romans 12:2).A word for anyone who&#39;s lost a relationship, or their peace of mind, to politics.Scriptures: Hebrews 12:28 · 1 Corinthians 6 · Ephesians 6:12 · Proverbs 18:2 · Matthew 17:14–18 · Romans 12:2 · John 17:14 Looking for a church in Saraland, AL?Join us every Sunday at 10:30am at 907 Shelton Beach Rd, Saraland, AL 36571We&#39;re building a Jesus-centered, Spirit-filled church for all people. 0:00 Intro — United or Divided States?1:19 What the Divide Is Costing Us3:09 How Fast the Ground Is Shifting5:06 Divided on Every Issue8:20 We All Want the Same Thing12:31 Party First, Country Second, Kingdom Last14:14 We&#39;ve Inherited a Kingdom17:16 Be Involved, But Don&#39;t Idolize the Outcome20:05 The Real Enemy Isn&#39;t Your Neighbor21:26 #1 The Algorithm Wants You Outraged25:27 The World Isn&#39;t as Bad as You Think28:40 #2 Check Your Own Assumptions38:00 #3 Beware the Extremes42:24 Leave Your Politics in the Parking Lot44:10 Detox from the World51:56 Politics for a Better Life

Pastor Jason Mayfield tackles the question every conversation about faith and sexuality eventually lands on: is homosexuality a sin? Instead of taking the easy road, he works through the actual text — all six passages where the Bible speaks to it, the 1946 translation debate, and the doctrines of justification, sanctification, and glorification — to get to the bigger question underneath: does God love gay people, and is there a seat for them in the church?Clear is kind. This message is honest about where Scripture stands and equally honest about grace, process, and the long road of sanctification we&#39;re all on. The gospel is for all people — and that&#39;s where this starts and ends.Scripture referenced: Romans 1.26-27, Leviticus 18.22, Leviticus 20.13, 1 Corinthians 6.9-10, 1 Timothy 1.9-10, Jude 7, Matthew 19.4, Romans 6.23, Romans 3.21-24, James 2.17-24, Psalm 119.160, Romans 10.13.<h3>Chapters</h3>00:00 Welcome &amp; the Ron Sparks Story 02:37 The Gospel Is for All People 05:20 Is Homosexuality a Sin?

There are three things quietly killing the church&#39;s effectiveness — and none of them are coming from the outside. In Part 1 of our new series &#34;For All People,&#34; Pastor Jason Mayfield starts where Jesus says every believer has to start: removing the log from your own eye before you point out the speck in someone else&#39;s. From Ephesians 2, this message names the three &#34;logs&#34; that wreck the church&#39;s witness and rebuild the &#34;dividing wall of hostility&#34; Christ already tore down: undiagnosed pride, willful ignorance, and immovable expression. Then it gets practical and uncomfortable — learning to hold the TRUTH of God&#39;s Word in one hand and the LOVE of the cross in the other at the same time. It&#39;s the difference between being right and being effective. It&#39;s learning, as Pastor Jason puts it, to &#34;human well&#34; with people who don&#39;t look, vote, or believe like us. This is the foundation for everything coming in this series. Over the next several weeks we&#39;ll address the issues our culture is fighting about — but it starts here, with the heart. 🔑 IN THIS MESSAGE• &#34;Clear is kind&#34; — why we say where we stand• Removing the log from our own eye (Matthew 7)• The dividing wall of hostility, and how the church keeps rebuilding it (Ephesians 2)• Undiagnosed pride: &#34;I&#39;ve got it figured out, you just need my program&#34;• Willful ignorance: refusing to understand what someone else is actually living• Immovable expression: why we can&#39;t seem to keep our opinions to ourselves• Holding truth and love in tension — &#34;the dance&#34;• How God Himself &#34;humaned with the humans&#34; (the incarnation) 📖 SCRIPTURES IN THIS MESSAGEEphesians 2.11-22 · Matthew 7.3-5 · Luke 4.43 · Hebrews 12.28 · Romans 11 · Galatians 2.18 · 1 Corinthians 9.22 · Galatians 6.3 · 1 Corinthians 6.19-20 · Proverbs 25.2 · Proverbs 20.5 · John 1.14 · 1 Timothy 3.16 · Romans 8.3 · Hebrews 4.15 · Matthew 6.10 ⏱️ CHAPTERS0:00 Welcome + setting up the series4:13 Clear is kind9:25 The log in our own eye (Matthew 7)10:44 Why the kingdom comes first15:02 The dividing wall of hostility (Ephesians 2)20:31 #1 Undiagnosed pride25:33 #2 Willful ignorance30:15 #3 Immovable expression36:58 Learning to &#34;human well&#34;45:37 Truth in one hand, love in the other47:36 How God humaned with the humans49:55 Closing prayer ────────────────────────📍 Looking for a church in Saraland, AL?Join us Sundays at 10:30amSaraland Church907 Shelton Beach Rd, Saraland, AL 36571 🙌 Plan your visit: https://www.saralandchurch.com/plan-your-visit❤️ Give: https://www.saralandchurch.com/give 🔔 SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications — don&#39;t miss the rest of the &#34;For All People&#34; series. 💬 What&#39;s one place you&#39;ve seen the church build a wall instead of a bridge?

3 Things Quietly Killing the Church's Effectiveness | Pastor Jason Mayfield

Faith comes by hearing — but the moment it does, fear usually shows up. In this message, Jon Breslin, youth director at Saraland Church, walks through the rhythm of faith: how to hear it, how to slay the fear that tries to stop it, and how to act on it so God&#39;s power can move.Drawing from Hebrews 11, Romans 10:17, and the woman who pressed through the crowd to touch the hem of Jesus&#39; robe after twelve years of isolation (Mark 5), you&#39;ll see why that anxious feeling in your chest isn&#39;t a stop sign — it&#39;s the alarm telling you faith is right in front of you. Hope says God can. Faith says God will. And faith plus obedience equals God&#39;s results.In this message: • Hear Faith — faith comes by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17) • Slay Fear — fear is the roadblock, but also the invitation to step in • Act on Faith — faith without works is dead (James 2:17–20)📖 Scriptures: Hebrews 11:1 • Romans 10:17 • Psalm 91:1 • Mark 5:25–34 • James 2:17–20— Saraland Church Sundays at 10:30 AM 907 Shelton Beach Rd, Saraland, AL 36571

What does it really mean to be blessed... even when your circumstances are saying otherwise? While Pastor Jason was away, we had the joy of handing the pulpit to Pastor John Mosley for the very first time. Pastor John leads our Compassion Ministries here at Saraland Church, and let&#39;s just say his story about the three job offers — the garbage truck, the mirror factory, and this one — is worth the price of admission all on its own. In this message, Pastor John walks through Genesis 1:26–28 to remind us of something easy to forget: God has already declared you blessed. From there he digs into the roadblock of &#34;incomplete beliefs,&#34; the unchanged mandate to live with dominion, and why knowing your identity in Christ matters more than almost anything else. (He&#39;ll also explain what setting up a Zelle account has to do with all of it — you&#39;ll have to watch.) Grab your Bible, settle in, and get ready to be reminded just how blessed you are.

You Are Blessed - Pastor John Mosley

A big life flows from the finished work of Jesus Christ. In John 10:10, Jesus promises life to the full, and everything that qualifies you for it has already been accomplished at the cross. But you still have to get in.In this message, Pastor Jason Mayfield lays out a four-part framework: dream, then refine that dream into a plan through vision, then execute, then stay consistent. Along the way he unpacks why big is a spirit rather than a stature, the difference between vision and mission, why effort does not equal execution, and what it really takes to see a dream become reality. You have to do the thing the thing requires, and you have to do enough of it for long enough.Scripture referenced: John 10:10, Genesis 37, 1 Chronicles 22, Joel 2:28, 1 Corinthians 3, 2 Chronicles 16, Habakkuk 2:1-3.Saraland Church is a Jesus-centered, Spirit-filled church for all people.

What&#39;s the real difference between people who succeed and people who stay stuck? Between ministry and business, Pastor Jason Mayfield has watched the same pattern play out for years. Two people can start from the same place, with the same capacity, the same giftings, and the same passion. But ten years later, one is thriving and the other is still wondering why they&#39;re always behind. It&#39;s a quiet element that often goes overlooked and ignored.Recorded live at Saraland Church in Saraland, AL — an Assemblies of God church just north of Mobile, AL.

Another preacher, another fall, another wave of &#34;church hurt&#34; stories — and eventually one of them is going to hit close to home. In this message from 1 Corinthians 1–3, Pastor Jason Mayfield gives believers a practical, biblical toolkit to protect their faith before a leader disappoints, hurts, or fails them.Pastor Jason walks through the Spectrum of Church Hurt (disappointment, hurt, and abuse — and why confusing them keeps people stuck), introduces the cybersecurity concept of an &#34;attack surface&#34; as a picture of how broadly or narrowly our faith is built, and lays out three tools every Christian needs: Get Clear on who Jesus is, Get Mature so cross-centered preaching is enough, and Get Yours — because once the revelation jumps from the teacher to you, it belongs to you.He closes with direct, personal pastoral counsel for the disappointed (&#34;get over it&#34;), the hurt (&#34;get through it&#34;), and those who have suffered real abuse (&#34;get help — you cannot do this alone&#34;).Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:11–13; 2:1–13; 3:5–15 (ESV)Saraland Church | 907 Shelton Beach Rd, Saraland, AL | saralandchurch.com

There&#39;s an ancient spirit actively working to keep you from receiving the truth of God&#39;s Word — and most people don&#39;t even know it&#39;s there.In this episode, I&#39;m teaching from 1 Samuel 22 on the Spirit of Doeg: a counselor in King Saul&#39;s court whose influence cost the priesthood their lives, the king his anointing, and the nation its power. I&#39;ll walk you through three ways this same spirit operates today — outsmarting the Word, inflaming insecurities, and undermining the covenant — and I&#39;ll show you how David&#39;s response in 2 Samuel 1 gives us the blueprint for confronting it head on.If you&#39;ve ever struggled to trust what you&#39;re hearing from the pulpit, or felt your ability to receive from the preached Word getting compromised, this one is for you.
