    Kingdom Over Party: Faith and the Political Divide

    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'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'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?

    Is Homosexuality a Sin? An Honest, Biblical Answer

    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're all on. The gospel is for all people — and that'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.

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

    There are three things quietly killing the church's effectiveness — and none of them are coming from the outside. In Part 1 of our new series "For All People," 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's. From Ephesians 2, this message names the three "logs" that wreck the church's witness and rebuild the "dividing wall of hostility" Christ already tore down: undiagnosed pride, willful ignorance, and immovable expression. Then it gets practical and uncomfortable — learning to hold the TRUTH of God's Word in one hand and the LOVE of the cross in the other at the same time. It's the difference between being right and being effective. It's learning, as Pastor Jason puts it, to "human well" with people who don't look, vote, or believe like us. This is the foundation for everything coming in this series. Over the next several weeks we'll address the issues our culture is fighting about — but it starts here, with the heart. 🔑 IN THIS MESSAGE • "Clear is kind" — 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: "I've got it figured out, you just need my program" • Willful ignorance: refusing to understand what someone else is actually living • Immovable expression: why we can't seem to keep our opinions to ourselves • Holding truth and love in tension — "the dance" • How God Himself "humaned with the humans" (the incarnation) 📖 SCRIPTURES IN THIS MESSAGE Ephesians 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 ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Welcome + setting up the series 4:13 Clear is kind 9:25 The log in our own eye (Matthew 7) 10:44 Why the kingdom comes first 15:02 The dividing wall of hostility (Ephesians 2) 20:31 #1 Undiagnosed pride 25:33 #2 Willful ignorance 30:15 #3 Immovable expression 36:58 Learning to "human well" 45:37 Truth in one hand, love in the other 47:36 How God humaned with the humans 49:55 Closing prayer ──────────────────────── 📍 Looking for a church in Saraland, AL?
