Elevation Church Utah Sermons: Recent Episodes
Elevation Church Utah
This cast covers the weekly gatherings of Elevation Church in Clearfield Utah! Our Pastor discuss faith and following Jesus, for the new and seasoned Christians alike.
"I'm not interested in organized religion." Fair enough — because that's not what church was ever meant to be. Paul calls it a body. Alive. Every part needed, every part valued, one Spirit holding it all together. This Sunday: what it means to actually belong.
"Rivers of living water will flow from within" — that's what Jesus promised anyone who believes in Him (John 7:38). The gifts of the Spirit are part of that river — not a trickle reserved for a few, but something already flowing in you, ready to be released. This week: believe it, and let it flow.
What's your spiritual gift, and how do you know it's actually from God? We're in 1 Corinthians 12 — a church overflowing with spiritual activity that Paul still calls "ignorant." We'll unpack what he means, and what it looks like to actually walk in what the Spirit has given you.
What happens when the meal meant to unite us becomes the thing that divides us? We're in 1 Corinthians 11 — the Lord's Supper, why Paul was furious about how the Corinthian church was taking it, and what it actually means to "discern the body." Come ready to see communion differently.
One of the most debated passages in the New Testament, tackled head-on. What does the Bible actually mean by "authority," and what can the relationship between the Father and the Son teach us about it? Come dig into a tricky text and leave with a fuller picture of what biblical order really looks like.
In 1 Corinthians 10:14–11:1, Paul gives us the alternative: not white-knuckled avoidance of temptation, but a way of escape. This week we look at what it actually means to flee.
In 1 Corinthians 9 Paul continues to show how our love for God and others has a continues to impact our world as we partner with Jesus and His life changing gospel message and reality.
What do you do when you are theologically correct and still manage to damage the people around you? This Sunday from 1 Corinthians 8 we are looking at why being right is never enough and what happens when knowledge gets separated from the love it is always meant to serve.
In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul describes a life that is fully engaged with the world but not owned by it, a life anchored to what lasts, organized around what matters, and fully present to the assignment in front of you. This Sunday we are looking at three questions every person is asking: What is real? Who do I belong to? and Am I actually showing up to the life I have been given?
In First Corinthians 7, we’ll explore how an authentic relationship with Christ reshapes the way we view marriage, singleness, commitment, and love. In a culture pulled between obsession and confusion, Paul shows that a life surrendered to Jesus produces relationships marked by covenant faithfulness, mutual self-giving, and undivided devotion to the Lord.
In 1 Corinthians 6 Paul rebukes actions in the church by challenging their understanding and pointing them back to the truth of their identity in Christ.
In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul challenges our assumptions about spiritual maturity, calling us to faithful service rather than impressive performance. This message invites us to respond seriously to a life shaped by the power of the gospel.
In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul calls out a hard truth it's possible to follow Jesus and still live stuck in immature, worldly patterns. Our lives can drift far from what they were meant to be, lacking growth and a sense of God's presence. But this passage is an invitation to step into something more fully aligned with Jesus.
In 1 Corinthians 2:6–16, Paul contrasts the fading wisdom of the world with the Spirit-revealed wisdom of God. Discover how to live with the mind of Christ instead of being shaped by what’s passing away.
In this message, we explore why the cross offends our expectations and how God's wisdom confronts our pride.
The tomb is empty—and that changes everything. Jesus’ power over death means new life is available now, hope is alive, and your future is secure.
On Palm Sunday we celebrate Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem, but the victory he came to achieve is different than what we expect.
Jesus stands at a grave and declares, “I am the resurrection and the life,” revealing His power not just to delay death—but to defeat it. Where grief feels final and hope seems buried, He steps into the darkness and calls life back out. The question isn’t whether He has power over death—the question is whether we will trust Him with ours.
Jesus came to destroy the works of the enemy, and bring abundant life to all who believe. Through the cross, He exposed deception, defeated darkness, and established God's unstoppable Kingdom. Today, His victory empowers us to walk in freedom, and live boldly in the light of His victory.
In John 9, Jesus encounters a man who has lived his entire life in darkness. With a simple command and an act of compassion, Jesus restores his sight—but the miracle reveals far more than physical healing. As the story unfolds, the man who was once blind begins to see the truth about Jesus, while the religious leaders grow increasingly blind to it. This Sunday we’ll explore how Jesus, the Light of the World, opens our eyes to who He really is and invites us to step out of darkness and into His light.
When Moses met with God, his face shone with reflected glory - but that radiance faded. In Christ, God's glory no longer rests on the surface; it dwells within us. As we behold Jesus, the Spirit transforms us from glory to glory, shining His light through fragile, ordinary lives.
The problem isn't that God has stopped speaking - it's that the ground has grown hard. Hosea 10:12 calls us to sow toward righteousness, seek the Lord, and prepare our hearts for the rain only he can send. This message speaks to cynicism, cultural division, justice, and peacemaking through the life and teachings of Jesus.
Jesus describes the Spirit as a wind that blows where it wills. You can't control it- but you can learn to live open to it. This message invites us to rethink life in the Spirit not as spiritual effort but as availability. As we continue our Prepare the Way series, we'll explore what it means to notice where God's life is already increasing, allow the Spirit to interrupt us, and respond to gentle nudges that lead us into deeper freedom, love, and fruitfulness.
The fruitful life--the abundant life Jesus promises--doesn't come from trying harder or self effort, but from staying connected and abiding in Jesus.
Jesus identifies how a crowded heart robs us from His life and fruitfulness for His kingdom in the parable of the sower. In this message we learn to discover and confront the desires that limit His life in us. Jesus does not ask to be first among many loves. He asks to be Lord over all.
Are there things that we can be doing in our life that we can be doing to open ourself to the move of God? Can His life and light flow through us to a world in need?
As we begin a new year how may we prepare ourselves to partner with God in accomplishing what He wants in our lives?
This week we discover how peace comes when we trust in God's promises, rely on His unlimited power, and live our life for His purpose. When we embrace these truths, we can navigate life's uncertainties with peace and confidence that Jesus provides.
As we look back on Israel, we see what God did for them and what it means for us as followers of Jesus.
It's one thing to recognize our regrets, but they need to be released. We have trouble letting go of our pain, failure, and frustration. Jesus invites us to surrender those things to Him.
Regrets about our past can produce destructive patterns in our life. Yet, if we see them from a proper perspective they can be redeemed and become a pathway to transformation as we follow Christ
As a new year stands before us, my prayer for us as a congregation is that we discover the reality of a close and personal relationship with Jesus. My desire is to go beyond things I believe about Him and experiences of Him, to a daily walk that gives way to His purpose and work in me that reaches the world around me. This starts with hearing His voice.
At some point we come to a crossroads with Jesus. He gives us a choice based on His observation of a truth. What has ultimate value in life? What should we be chasing?
Anxiety and fear is something that all of us deal with. Today we look at Jesus questions found in Matthew 6 that reorder our thinking and help us have victory over our emotions.
Encounters Jesus has with people are filled with intention. The question this week opens up profound truths for us. It will change the way we see ourselves and others
Ever feel like there is something our there for you but it is just our of reach? In your search for meaning, wholeness and fulfilment you find pieces but the puzzle never comes together? Jesus asks a question designed to point us in the right direction in John 1. What do you want?
Jesus used questions through his ministry to reveal and convict. In Matthew 7 he uses humor to redirect us away from a critical judgement spirit.
If we take the questions Jesus asked seriously and let them lead us, they will open the door to an ever-expanding relationship with the Creator! His questions will take you on life's greatest quests!
Join us as we hear different member from the church quote each chapter from the Book of Hebrews.
Our spiritual journey is one of perseverance, a never quit trust in God. How is this possible given our weaknesses? Hebrews 6:13-20
When Jesus enters history, he brings an idea that had been waiting in the people of Israel that would crawl out to the wider world that would not be able to resist. There is one God. He is good. And every human is made in His image.
The moment of life when things go from bad to worse, and all you can see are the storms around you; are the moments God is at work. He is always at work. Remember that God is always undefeated. His sovereign plan and purpose can't be stopped, but what might that look like for you?
Much of life is about choices. The most important choices often don't appear that way on the surface. Has listening and obeying God each day become the priority of our life? What happens if we don't?
So much fades in life, the new car smell, the shine on your favorite shoes, feelings, motivation, the thrill.... what about your relation ship with Jesus. Chapter two of Hebrews starts our with a warning. "Pay close attention to what you have heard so that you do not drift away!" How can we guard against drift spiritually?

Jesus begins now to teach of His Kingdom. Today we see the most important parable He teaches. Jesus Himself said that if we don't understand this parable, we can't understand the others.
Who do you say that I am? This question Jesus asked his disciples is one of the most important questions of life. Where are you in your journey of discovery? Today we see a difference of opinion in a first century encounter with Jesus that is still evident in people toda
Faith is the unshakable confidence in the character of God. What is it about Jesus that leads us to put our faith in Him? Today we examine other's faith encounters to build confidence to trust Him more in our life.

How open are you to Jesus and His influence on your life. In the gospels we see many who opposed or resisted His invitation. His message is hopeful, His truth transforming, and His life is what you need.
Missionary Paul Austin joins us this week to continue our series Finding Your Way Back to God. Have you ever come to the realization that you could not do something on your own? It's easy to admit we need help moving a piano, changing a transmission, or moving your belongings halfway across the country. How many of us can admit we need help in our journey to find God?
Our attempts to find love meaning and purpose outside of God lead to a dead end of regret and heartache. When we come back to God He always allows us a new beginning.
Ever found yourself disillusioned by religion, felt overwhelmed by intellectual doubts, or struggled with paralyzing failures and disappointments in life? Each of these create distance between God and you. What if there was a way back? Maybe God wants to be found more than we want to find Him.

What we have begun to experience of God in this life connects with what we will experience with Him in heaven. God’s dwelling is with His people. It is light invading the world, God’s abundance invading life. Heaven is God drawing near.

This is more than mere optimism that life will get better but more about what all of history is moving toward. Total deliverance from oppression and confinement. The feast is a celebration and experience of eternity with God, and in an amazing contrast salvation is also a war that is illustrated as a battle to eliminate evil.

Questions: Why has God included prophecy into his word? What does the parable of the 10 virgins represent? What happens once the Bridegroom shuts the door to the wedding? Why does Jesus teach in parabkes at times? Although not a parable, why is the picture of a fig tree pointed out to the disciples? Why does Jesus warn us so often about not being deceived?

So what is the wrath of God? How are we to understand Judgement? Revelation actually paints a very different picture of God then most would assume. We don’t see a God wielding a final hammer smashing humanity in a fit of rage. It’s a much different picture.
The message of the gospel is about kingdom. Someday EVERY knee will bow. Here we see how the birth of Jesus does more than initiate carols and nativity scenes but instead all out war in the heavens. What does kingdom allegiance to Jesus look like for us today?
The world is permeated with evil, and how can we stand in the face of its destruction? The Christian can stand. Our existence is one of constant conflict. Suffering is allowed by God but it is more about the simple consequence for sin. Jesus explanation gives us meaning in the midst of this conflict.

Do you pray? Is it when you are afraid or need help? Is it before you eat? What is prayer all about? Some are taught prayers or what to pray about but might not know how to pray. If there really is a God then communicating with Him is vital to our discovery of Him.
This Sunday we discover faith is more a reasonable step based on good evidence. It's actually more like an adventure and a journey. Jesus' invitation to follow Him is just like that. Some of us launch off and others need to see a bit more of the roadmap. Jesus is actually ok with both responses. Will you take that step?
Much is made about the death of Jesus. Why did He die? Was it to silence His voice and teaching? Did Jesus pose a threat to the political world of His day? Is it possible that His death 2000 years ago could have profound meaning for us today?
He is arguably the most recognized person in the world. Over 2 billion worship Him as God. Who is Jesus? So many know about Him but can we still know Him? Could it be that our understanding of whether there is a God through Him?
