We Stay In Our Lane

When a church tries to do everything, it ends up doing nothing. In this message, we lay out why focus is faithfulness to the mission and how we’re aligning Saraland Church around four lanes that create a powerful Sunday morning experience: preaching, worship, kids, and hospitality.

From the prophet’s parable in 1 Kings 20:35–43 (ESV)—“as your servant was busy here and there”—to Paul’s teaching on God-assigned influence in 2 Corinthians 10:13–16 (ESV), we see that results follow clarity. We also learn from Proverbs 29:18 (ESV) and 2 Chronicles 26:16–19 (ESV) that vision sets boundaries and blessing stays inside the lane God assigns. Jesus’ standard is simple: “You will recognize them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16).

If you’re part of Saraland Church, this episode explains recent schedule shifts and why we’re simplifying for greater impact—so we can reach more people, equip believers to build incredible lives, and reshape the spiritual culture of our city. No fluff, no drift, just the mission.
