Meadow Park Church

From child dedications to Father’s Day laughs, today was all about celebrating the family God has blessed us with, reminding us of the building blocks of a Christ-centered family. Let’s carry this message into our homes and live out our faith daily. Happy Father’s Day to all our incredible dads!

Never underestimate the power of your story; it’s the most effective tool you have for sharing about Jesus Christ. Here’s a little bit about Matt and how he lives out his faith authentically:

‘I’ve never been one to be the guy on the street corner with the bullhorn screaming about things, but I try to live out my Christian walk in a way where I’m not being pushy or judgy, just trying to be an authentic version of myself. The second greatest commandment is like the first: love your neighbor as yourself. I try to hold on to that and treat all the people that end up in my life as deserving of love—certainly my love and certainly God’s love—and just model what that looks like. Hopefully, some sliver of the love that Jesus modeled for us ultimately.’

No one has seen God, but when we love each other deeply, His love becomes complete in us. God’s perfect love is revealed through our actions. Let’s commit to loving others as He loves us.

“No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us - perfect love!” 1 John 4:12 (The Message)

Every person matters to God—no distinctions. He calls us to reach everyone He puts in our path. Let’s break barriers, build bridges, and make a difference for refugees and those who are displaced around us.

Today’s a day we set aside to honor those who have given it all. Let’s use their example to encourage us to serve others. Some gave all, so we need to give some.

You’re here. I’m here. We all have stories, struggles, and hopes, but how can we truly be here for those around us? Today, we celebrated our grads stepping into a new season, had our youth leading us in worship, sent off our Honduras mission team with prayers, and heard Randy Bargerstock’s powerful reminder on how we, too, can ‘Be Here For’ others. Let’s commit to being fully present for each other, just as God is for us.

🎉 Join us Sunday, June 9th for an unforgettable Summer Kick-off! Post-service, get ready for an explosion of fun:

🚚 We’ll have a variety of food trucks

In everywhere you go, everything you do, everyone you meet, you are carrying out the very mission of God.

Today, we unpacked Matthew 28:16-20: Jesus, with all the authority, says ‘Go and make disciples.’ This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s our purpose. Every day is an opportunity to spread His love. God’s got your back…even until the end of the age. Therefore, Go!

Thankful for all of the special women God has placed in our lives to love, care for, and nurture each of us. What a beautiful reminder of His love for the world. Happy Mother’s Day!

Let’s brag about some awesome mamas below! Leave a comment and then, if she’s still with you, call her up and tell her all the things you love about her.

And join us this Sunday as we celebrate Mother's Day and honor the amazing women God has blessed us with. She'll love the free flower bouquets, a special photo-op, an uplifting message, and the kids singing in service. It'll be a celebration she'll cherish—bring the whole family!

You were uniquely created for a purpose—to use you gifts and story to advance God’s mission!

We all have a verse that speaks to us deeply in a season of life. What verse are you hanging onto today? Let's fill the comments with some encouragement.

Lord, we desire to be a people who are engaged in our world just as much as we are in the word. 🙏

Says Jesus: “A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”

Welcome home. You belong here!

Faith thrives in community, not isolation. Choose to trust, to open up, to walk together—because you never know how much you need community until you NEED community.

Today was a powerful reminder of where we each are on the journey. Where are you? Are you moving forward with your eyes on the goal? Let’s keep pressing on with our eyes fixed on Jesus.

“I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.” — Philippians 3:12-14 (MSG)
