Can you really trust God when everything in your life is shaking? In the final week of The Name, Pastor Jason Mayfield shows that what you believe about God changes the way you pray, then teaches three Hebrew names of God that prove He can be trusted. El Sali, God my rock: from Psalm 42, what to do when your soul is cast down and it feels like God has forgotten you. El Ne&#39;eman, the faithful God: from Deuteronomy 7:9 and Psalm 111, God does not change, so you can learn His patterns and know how He works. Elohei Kol Basar, the God of all flesh: from Jeremiah 32:27, no person has the final say over your life, and God cares about the whole person, down to the hairs on your head. When you pray, God hears, He cares, and He can change things.

Can you ask God for anything in prayer, even the selfish stuff? In week two of The Name, Pastor Jason Mayfield shows that no prayer shocks God, starting with a Roman centurion who asked Jesus to heal a servant he didn&#39;t want to lose. Then he walks through four names of God from the song &#34;Jehovah&#34; by Elevation Worship, and what each one tells you about how God answers prayer. Jehovah Nissi, the Lord is my banner, brings supernatural victory when you get a hand on the throne. Jehovah Jireh, the Lord will provide, sees what you&#39;re walking through and what&#39;s coming next. Jehovah Rapha, the Lord your healer, made the bitter water sweet, and in the new covenant your healing flows from the cross. Jehovah Shalom, the Lord is peace, gives a peace that passes understanding, yet real faith will often stretch your comfort. Learn how to pray the names of God and bring everything to Him in prayer.

Do you know who you&#39;re really talking to when you pray? God is not &#34;the man upstairs&#34; or &#34;the big guy.&#34; He is holy, He is near, and He lives in you by His Spirit. In week one of The Name, Pastor Jason Mayfield shows how &#34;hallowed be thy name&#34; becomes your cue to pray who God is, using the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Discover three names of God you can pray every day, and walk away with a simple way to pray with reverence, confidence and power.

Do you walk into prayer feeling like you need to earn the right to be there? Denying your weaknesses won&#39;t help, and neither will listing them. What you need is a confession from the Word that says who you are in Christ. In week 4 of the Our Father series, Pastor Jason Mayfield preaches John 1, verses 1 through 30, and closes with grace confessions to pray every day: I am the righteousness of God in Christ, God has already given me more than I will ask, nothing I do outweighs the finished work, everything I&#39;m not Christ is in me, and more. Discover the boldness to come before the throne of grace and do business with the Lord.

Do you know God loves you, or do you believe it? A fever helps your body clear an infection, you know that, and you still reach for the Tylenol the second your temperature climbs. Knowing a thing and believing it are two different experiences, and the gap between them is where most Christians live. In week 3 of the Our Father series, Pastor Jason Mayfield preaches 1 John 4, verses 7 through 21, on knowing and believing the love God has for you, and on the confidence, assurance, and peace that show up when both finally land at the same time.

Do you ever feel like you slipped out of favor with God the last time you messed up? That feeling has a name, and Scripture treats it as a whole ministry with its own glory, its own power, and its own result, which is death. There are two ministries running in the room, and most believers spend their lives under the wrong one without ever naming it. Pastor Jason Mayfield preaches 2 Corinthians 3 in week 2 of the Our Father series and lays out how condemnation gets reinstalled after you are saved, and how the veil comes off for good.

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?

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?
