In this message from our FULFILLED journey through Luke, Pastor Clayton teaches Luke 4:38–39, where Jesus heals Simon Peter’s mother-in-law in a quiet, intimate moment after the synagogue.

We see the Kingdom Way on display—not spectacle, but compassion. Jesus stands over the vulnerable, rebukes sickness with authority, restores what was lost, and calls people back into purpose. This passage reveals a powerful pattern for every believer: Healing, Rising, and Serving.

If you’ve been healed by Jesus but hesitant to fully rise and follow, this message calls you to step out of the sickbed and into the life God restored you for.

We just wrapped up Sub-Series 1 of FULFILLED — *The Chosen King* — and in this panel-style conversation, we reflect on Luke 1–4 and what it reveals about Jesus as the promised King.

In this honest, insightful discussion, we talk through:
• The humanity and divinity of Jesus  
• The tension, testing, and conflict surrounding His arrival  
• The supporting characters who shape the story  
• How this section of Luke challenges our expectations of kingship today  

Whether you’ve been following the series closely or are jumping in for the first time, this conversation helps tie together the big ideas, the emotional moments, and the theological weight of *The Chosen King*.

This week, we continued our FULFILLED journey as Jesus began demonstrating the Kingdom Way with His first recorded miracle in Luke—driving out a demon in the synagogue at Capernaum.

Most of us know the words of the Lord’s Prayer… but very few of us know how to actually pray like Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Clayton walks through Matthew 6:9–13 and shows why this is not just “The Lord’s Prayer” or a rote “Our Father,” but a MODEL PRAYER Jesus gave to teach His followers *how* to pray, not just *what* to say.

Clayton connects this to MetaChurch’s new focus on corporate prayer and our conviction from last week: if we want Acts 2 power, we need Acts 1 inputs—waiting, praying, and making space for the Holy Spirit to move.

We walk through the prayer in four movements:

RELATIONSHIP – “Our Father in heaven…”  

Before anything else, Jesus teaches us to approach God as a perfect Father who is both closer than close and bigger than big. Prayer starts with identity and relationship, not performance or formulas.

REVERENCE – “Your name be honored as holy…”  

We realign around who is at the center. In a culture obsessed with building our own name, Jesus teaches us to refocus on *His* name. God is set apart—there is no one like Him in character, power, or love.

REIGN – “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…”  

This is the collision point: God’s Kingdom versus our little kingdoms. Prayer is where we surrender the crown, lay down our attempts to be our own god, and align our lives with His will and purposes. This is where real power and freedom begin.

REQUESTS – “Give us… forgive us… lead us… deliver us…”  

Only after relationship, reverence, and reign does Jesus move to requests—provision, forgiveness, reconciliation, protection, and deliverance from the evil one. Our needs absolutely matter to God, but Jesus shows us *where* they belong in the conversation.

Clayton reminds us:

Prayer is not primarily about moving God to us.  

Prayer is primarily about moving us to God.

As MetaChurch steps into a new season of making space for corporate prayer in every service, this message is meant to equip you to step into those moments with confidence—not as a spectator, but as a son or daughter talking to your Father.

This week, we closed out 2025 by doing what the people of God have always done—coming before Him in prayer. Instead of a traditional sermon, we moved through four movements found throughout the Psalms: Praise, Lament, Trust, and Hope.

This week, we continued our Christmas series by looking at JOY—not the seasonal kind, not the kind you fake for a photo, but the deep, settled joy Scripture talks about.

We contrasted what our culture offers with what Jesus brings:

• Happiness is fragile—it rises and falls with circumstances.
• Joy is anchored—it comes from Someone, not something.

This week, we looked at Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11 to “come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened,” and explored what it means to experience true rest in Him—especially in a season that often feels exhausting, pressured, and overwhelming.

This week, we looked at the real tension of Christmas: Christmas is about a King, but most of us don’t actually want a king. We love the idea of a God who blesses, comforts, and helps. But a God who rules us? Who directs our steps, says “no,” and sits on the throne of our lives? That is where things get uncomfortable.
