Elevate City Church: Recent Episodes
Elevate City Church
Tune in for weekly messages and content from Elevate City Church.
For too long the church has been known for what they’re against. We want to make it explicitly clear who we are for. We are for Jesus. For his glory. For his ways. For his gospel. For his Kingdom.
Jesus is who we want to shine the spot light on. Jesus is the story we want to tell. Jesus is the banner we want to raise.
At Elevate City, the primary topic of conversation is Jesus: Jesus’ story, Jesus’ character. Jesus’ ways. Jesus’ teachings.
We want to introduce you to the power that is found in Jesus' name.
When Jesus walked this earth, more than he talked about money or peace or faith or politics, He talked about The Kingdom.
The Kingdom of God, or the Kingdom of Heaven, or simply, the Kingdom. And when talking about the Kingdom, we have to be reminded that it’s simple enough for a child to understand and enter in, but also complex enough for you to never feel like you’ve got it all figured out.
Jesus, when speaking about the Kingdom, didn’t give us definitions for what the Kingdom of God is. Instead, he gave illustrations. He told stories -- parables.
Jesus communicated through stories to connect with the hearts of His audience and deposit truth into their souls.
Parables are simply practical stories or earthly stories with a heavenly meaning.
Today, we’re diving into a story Jesus told that shakes us up and calls us out. It's about a banquet, but not just any banquet—it's a royal feast hosted by the King Himself. And guess what? You’re invited to dine with the King.
But there’s a twist with this story, because it’s in this story that Jesus exposes the excuses that we make that lead to us rejecting His invitation.

The most famous parable is the Good Samaritan.
Can you just consider how there is no good reason that this small story, just seven verses told by some irrelevant Jewish rabbi, would show up in secular institutions and on political platforms?
We name hospitals after this story. People, some of the most famous painters in the world, would want to paint this story that this little rabbi told in the middle of nowhere.
It speaks to something within us that is transcendent, something that is intrinsic... It speaks to something in us as humanity that says this is the way that things should be.

The glory, the worth, the value, the shine, the glimmer, the treasure of the Kingdom is not seen
by everyone. It’s covered, it’s buried, people are blind to it, they walk right past it never
realizing what they are trampling upon. It’s hidden to them.
This is why people can see Jesus without seeing Jesus.
Why people can hear the gospel, without hearing the gospel.
Why prayer gets discounted, why consistent church attendance is way under valued.
They see dirt, they don’t see the divine. To them the Kingdom looks like trash—they don’t
realize it’s treasure.
Tune in to this powerful message from Pastor Joey about the treasure of the Kingdom of God.

Contrary to popular belief, Jesus didn’t come to establish a political party or create a new religion. Jesus didn’t come to earth to just love people and make their lives better, although he did do that — Jesus came to establish a Kingdom. The Kingdom of God.
When Jesus began to speak, He didn’t compare the Kingdom of God to a high mountain, a mighty river or even a majestic oak. Jesus compared the Kingdom of God to a tiny mustard seed!
Jesus uses the image of something little to teach us about something larger than we can comprehend.
A mustard seed mindset believes that what is small in the kingdom of Jesus is wildly significant.

Jesus isn't as interested in intellectually checking the boxes and formulating a definition for the Kingdom, As He is in telling stories.
Instead of using definitions for the Kingdom, Jesus understood that the kingdom needs to be felt.
For you to really understand the kingdom, you need more than nouns, verbs, and adjectives creating subject matter... you need emotion. You need experience. You need for these concepts and ideas to transition into reality so that the kingdom doesn't just get talked about... but the kingdom gets lived.

In this message, Pastor Joey preaches about the already, not yet Kingdom of God.
One of our big goals for this series has been to try to shatter the understanding that heaven is just a place that we'll go to someday, up in the sky. What we're wanting to do is talk about this idea of the kingdom of heaven or the kingdom of God.
Inaugurated eschatology -- articulates the already not yet kingdom of God. That the kingdom has come, but the kingdom is still coming, that the kingdom is started, it's established, but it's not finished.
In these three Illustrations -- Trains, Wars, & Thunderstorms, we understand what it means for the already, not yet of the Kingdom of God

We are in a series of messages talking about what Jesus talked about most, and what Jesus talked about most was the kingdom of God.
The kingdom is everything in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John). It's prolific, redundant, explicit, everywhere, every thing the epicenter of the story.
More than anything else, this is Jesus' primary topic of conversation. It's his favorite thing to bring up and to talk about. And, one of the things that you'll find is that a significant part of this kingdom was pretty... weird.

What kind of king is Jesus?
What kind of king was He expected to be?
Throughout Scripture, the Kingdom of God has a lot of different names. At times it is called the Kingdom of Christ, or just the kingdom or the Kingdom of Christ and God, or the kingdom of his beloved son. The gospel writer Matthew refers to it as the Kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of heaven. Now this creates quite the problem for our modern 21st century ears, because when we see or hear the Kingdom of heaven, we immediately think this mysterious place in the sky that we will one day go to when we die.
And the challenge with that is that Jesus didn't come as much to get us into this mysterious place called heaven as he did come to bring heaven to earth, to bring his kingdom down, to bring his kingdom here. He prays this in the Lord's Prayer, what has been called the Lord's Prayer in Matthew chapter six, verse ten, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Many people's conception of the Christian gospel goes something like this... 2000 years ago, a man named Jesus came from heaven to earth. He lived a good life, performs miracles. But then he died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins. And then he was placed in a grave. Three days later, he got up out of that grave and he returned to heaven, where now he is waiting to someday come back again.
And if you believe that in your heart, then you too will get to go to this magical place called heaven when you die. And so pray this prayer. Believe it in your heart and you'll get to go to heaven when you die. Oh, and then p.s., P.S. if you've got like, time for it. Be kind to other people and like if it fits in your schedule, like go to church and eat all the chick fil A, you can and you know, like, don't watch rated our movies unless they're unless it's the passion of the Christ.
In this series and sermon we want to propose for you today that Christianity is infinitely better than just getting your ticket to heaven punched. Christianity is exponentially more thrilling and exciting and interesting and robust and relevant and practical and ever expanding and all encompassing than you could ever imagine.

Is there evidence of Jesus's resurrection?
Is there evidence that Jesus was the son of God?
In this Easter message, Pastor Joey McLaughlin preaches a powerful apologetic defense for the reality of the Easter story.
"For most people Easter is an energetic day full of pretty colors, gourmet lunches, fun festivities, family traditions, and a nice peppy religious service. But can I remind you that today it's real? That the resurrection is real?"
You cannot avoid the evidence of an empty grave.
The resurrection of Jesus confirms the identification of Jesus: Jesus is the son of God.

Church, if you are in Christ, you’ve been adopted into the family of God, and given a new identity, and that identity comes with a purpose, a mission for your life to know Jesus and make Him known. But there’s a problem, it’s that there is a real enemy and real forces that are opposed to that mission, doing everything that they can to wage war on our identity, and stop our cause. So, if we are going to truly be who God has created us to be and live in the identity that he has given to us, we are going to have to put on the clothes, or the armor, that God has put out for us in order make it through the life-or-death war that is waged against us each and every day. You see, whether you realize it or not, life is not a playground but a battleground. In this message, Pastor Joe Baker preaches on the epic conclusion of Paul’s beautiful letter to the Ephesians — a letter, that many theologians and scholars would agree is pound for pound, the most influential document in human history.

What does true Biblical submission look like?
In one of the most controversial passages in scriptures -- Ephesians 5:21-6:9, We find the most comforting claims of who we are in Christ.
We discover how submission and headship in marriage and in the Church is a great gift for God's children. Because of this great gift, we can approach scriptures like these not with fear but with confidence in who God has created us to be.

Everyone wants authenticity.
People search for it, culture encourages it, and the world is desperate for it.
So what does true authenticity look like? What is our truest, true self?
Is it just discovering our truest feelings? Or could authentic true identity exist outside of yourself?
Pastor Joey McLaughlin teaches through Ephesians 4 of what a biblical authentic christ-centered identity can look like.

You have been given a grace by God.
What is the grace you need to Walk OUT --
7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore it says,“When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” 9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ
Ephesians 4:7-12
You need to walk out YOUR GRACE
What you need to Walk INTO --
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
Ephesians 4:13-14
The Power you must always Walk IN --
15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
Ephesians 4:15-16
We need to always walk in the power of LOVE

What could your life look like if only you knew how much God truly loves you.
When you understand how loved you truly are, and how core that is to your identity: it has the power to change how you live what you do and ultimately everything about you.
In Ephesians 3, Paul is on His knees pleading with God for Ephesus, and for you, praying that we would know the magnitude of God’s love for us. Paul knew that if we truly did then we would’t want to worship anyone else, then we wouldn’t chase after worthless pursuits. If only we truly knew Godly love.

One of the biggest plot twist throughout all of life and the scriptures in this -- you are adopted into the family of God.
Paul in his letter to Ephesus, found in Ephesians 3:1-13, has a new declaration for the family of God...
Attention family… there’s been a secret kept hidden since the beginning of time.
You are a part of the biggest scandal in history.
The mystery of your true identity makes you worth going to prison for.
A courier carries the most expensive package of all time with your name on it.
You are heir to an inheritance of unsearchable riches
Your a member of the royal family. A partaker of the promise.
You are not in last place.
You are a lead actor on center stage in a cosmic story with celestial pop-a-rot-z
God gives you his name and stakes his reputation on you.
You have at your disposal supernatural weapons that produce boldness, access, & confidence
And Your glory - yes, your glory is worthy of great suffering.

Church is not a place you attend, it’s a people you belong to.
Pastor Joey McLaughlin gives the blueprint of this message:
-
You don’t belong and you feel it.
-
Identity and belonging are inseparable.
-
So you try to belong but to the wrong thing.
-
You can truly belong but only by the blood.
-
You do belong but not to yourself. You belong to a new community, a spiritual family, and to God Himself.
We are all searching for belonging, but we will not find belonging in this world nor inside of ourselves. We find belonging in Jesus and HIs Church.
Ephesians 2:11-22
Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

Who you Were is far worse than you think.
Who you Are is far better than you think.
Who you are Becoming is beyond what you can imagine.
In this message Pastor Joey McLaughlin clearly preaches the gospel, and who you are in Christ as found in Ephesians 2:1-10.
In Ephesians 2:10-10 we find:
-
Who you were: You were DEAD
-
Who you are: You are ALIVE
-
Who you are Becoming: An Eternal Masterpiece and Trophy of Grace
To be alive in Christ is to be loved, graced, saved, raised, with Christ, seated, secure, and eternal.

The beginning, middle, and end of the Christian life is about knowing God.
Knowing Jesus as savior is a beautiful beginning to your walk with God and you could spend the rest of your life growing in your knowledge of Him as Savior, but at the same time, there is so much more of God to know.
You’re invited to know Him as Friend, and Guide, and Father, and Provider, and Defender and Peace. The more you come to know God, the more rich and satisfying your life will be. And the more we know God, the better we know ourselves in our truest identity.
The lens or glass through which you view your life has a deep impact on who you are and who you’re becoming.

Do you know your identity IN CHRIST?
You are chosen and you are loved and you are blameless and you are adopted, redeemed, forgiven, lavished. You've got an inheritance. You are the praise of God's glory.
Two words that Paul uses to tie all of those words together. Two words that change everything for the Ephesians, in two words that can change everything for you and me. Two words that stand at the center of identity. Two words that are the greatest mystery in all of theology. If I could only tell you two words to help you understand your true identity, I would tell you these two words, just two words...
IN CHRIST

Why is it that every year we are sold on this opportunity for it to be a new year and a new us to only find that it's a new year, but the same us.
It's the same broken habits, the same broken systems, the same internal monologue, the same crushing insecurities, the same suffocating questions. Who am I?
Who do you think you are? Who do you really think that you are when you strip it all away? When you're laying in bed at night before you fall asleep? Or when you wake up in the dark of the morning and it's just you and there's no pretending, there's no masks.
In this sermon, Pastor Joey McLaughlin preaches through the baptism of Jesus and how we see the Father speak Identity into the Son.

"Joy is a decision to agree with God about the total story of my life. Joy is found when I remember the whole story."
- Joey Mclaughlin
This Christmas at Elevate City we celebrated the arrival of JOY in the birth of Jesus.
Undoubtedly, joy and Christmas are synonymous. How much joy do you feel in your spirit? How much joy are you living in? How much joy are you walking it? And I'm talking about beyond the Christmas season. I'm talking about every day of your life. How much joy are you going to bed in at night? How much joy are you driving to work to in the morning?
One thing is certain -- joy is available for you. This is the good news of the gospel. This is the good news of Christmas. Any person can be transformed into a joyful person.
Watch this message to hear about the JOY that Jesus offers.

“The Arrival of Peace”
This word “Peace” has become the theme of Christmas for people all around the world — it’s the word that gets plastered on billboards and put in greeting cards, it’s found on Christmas trees and its hanging over chimneys, it’s the word that no matter your religious background or beliefs is most associated with this season. For many, if we’re honest, the arrival of the Christmas season brings anything but peace.
In this message Pastor Joe preaches that true peace does not come from the absence of chaos in our lives but through the arrival of Jesus in our hearts and then a commitment to walk in His ways.
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

There are four things that every human heart longs for hope, love, peace and joy.
At Advent, we celebrate the arrival of those things, those things breaking into humanity. In this sermon Pastor Joey preaches about the arrival of love and what I want for you to know is that behind all of your intellectual arguments and under your extremely tough exterior, what every human heart longs for is love.
You don't outgrow this, you can't outrun this, you can't outthink this. Humanity was built, designed, created, and desperate for love. What we desperately want for you to know in this message is that if you refuse to fill that place in your heart with the love of Jesus, then you will turn to broken people and broken places to try to fill it.
Instead, nothing can fill your heart like the love of Jesus. In this message, Pastor Joey preaches about the arrival of love, the advent of God's gift called love.

This is more than an ending of the year.
Advent is a time of Hope. This hope is a hope where we stand between Jesus birth and his coming back again. We stand on the foundation of hope.
What you hope for actually shows what you live for. It shapes what you live for now.
Hope shapes your perspective on the world. It shapes how you see your past and things that have happened to you. It shapes how you anticipate your future.
In this message we kick off our series Advent -- unpacking the Hope that is found in Jesus.
We are not looking just at the end to the celebration of what happened in Jesus, but also the anticipation that he was coming back.

What if we took the great commission not as the great suggestion?

In this message Pastor Joey Mclaughlin takes a deep dive into the vision of generously giving whatever it takes to see Jesus' Great Commission realized and to live into a story way bigger than ourselves because we know Jesus is infinitely worth it.
There’s almost no excuse for you to not love, be passionate about, and sacrificially give to the Church you’re apart of. Jesus doesn’t need it. He wants your heart fully surrendered to Him and totally set on His kingdom. I want you to know the thrill, the utter joy of not having your heart so tethered to this world but surrendered to Jesus and living for the world to come.

What comes into your mind when you think about Church?
Maybe you think a building, with a steeple and a cross.
Maybe a large auditorium with lights, a speaker and a band. Classic adage, not a building.
Maybe you think scandals. Or Christian celebrity. Maybe you think hurt. Or politics.
In this message, Pastor Joey McLaughlin prays we’ll find ourselves falling in love with the Church, we’d become like a little less critical of the Church, we’d be a little more careful how we talk about her, and we’d stop treating Church as a nice thing to do when it’s convenient.
WE must Multiply the Church.

There is a leadership crisis in the Church at large.
Pastors and leaders have left ministry at an alarming rate over the last decade. We believe much of that is due to a lack of effective leadership development. At Elevate City we want to equip future leaders with the spiritual rhythms, theological training, leadership skills and practical ministry experience to lead the Church forward.
The Church will face hard times in the days ahead. Culture will get darker, truth will be more opposed, and secularism will continue to rise. We need strong, deeply developed leaders to lead us through the storm. We feel a great sense of responsibility to develop the leaders who will pastor and lead in your children and grandchildren's Church.
Our Leadership Development Program is a 12-month residency adventure that is designed to equip future ministry leaders for Jesus-centered, discipleship-driven, & transformation-focused full-time ministry in the local church.
Our goal for the next 10 years is that we would see 100 people trained in that program.

In a world that is obsessed with the self, kids are painted in our culture often times as an inconvenience that can be taken care of. We pay to let someone else raise them, we distance them, and don’t let them
distract us from our goals and then wonder why there’s a generation that’s starving for attention.
But Jesus speaks with this bold proclamation: "I see Kids as of utmost importance."
Elevate City Church will always be a church that is hyper focused on making sure that every barrier is removed to get as many kids to the feet of Jesus that we can.
Pastor Joe's goal of this message is to help you see kids the way God sees kids, care for them the way God does, and give to see as many kids raised as disciple makers.
To help you see them as not just a part of the church, but essential to the lifeblood of the Church and the kingdom as a whole.

Mankind is glory hungry. In this message Pastor Joey McLaughlin talks about the nations, the world, and getting the gospel around the globe.
Mankind is seeking to build a name for ourselves, we are coming for God’s throne and are willing to trample over anything that stands in our way.Our hunger for glory -- to be known, powerful and recognized -- makes us say, "This is our land. This our home. We lay claim to it. We put our flag in this ground. We will build our kingdom here, no one will take it from us."
So, why can’t we have peace? Because peace won't be found when we’re in a war for glory. Every sin, every war, every difference that breeds division, every problem we see in the world has it’s root in a glory problem.
Humanity is trying to claim something that isn’t ours to be had -- GLORY. Glory belongs to the Lord…and God will not share his glory or his throne with another.

God’s will isn’t about getting Him on our agenda, but getting us on His agenda. And His agenda is serving the “the least of these”.His agenda is investing in the lost, forgotten, forsaken, and marginalized.With our time, yes.With our relationship, yes.WIth our talents, yes.And with our money, yes!A commitment to serve the Poor, the Prisoner and the Orphan. Jesus said in Matthew 26:11; the poor you will always have with you. James said in James 1:27; true religion is caring for widows and orphans. Jesus said in Matthew 25:40; whatever you have done for the prisoner you have done for me. It will be impossible for us to elevate the name of Jesus without caring for the least of these. Over the next 10 years we will give $1,000,000 away to serve the poor, the orphan, the unborn, and the widow. We will partner to see 1000 women and girls set free from trafficking in Jesus' name. We will see foster homes opened and orphans adopted and partner to end the generational cycles of poverty in Clarkston. Matthew 25:31-4031 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[f] you did it to me.’We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

We cannot be obedient to the great commission in our generation without baptism front and center.
The early church saw God add to their number day by day those being saved (Acts 2:47). We long to see our commitment to prayer, disciple making and bold gospel conversations result in lost people coming to faith in Jesus every single day. There are 365 days in a year. If 10 years from now we see 365 baptisms annually across all our campuses this would symbolically represent that every day people are meeting Jesus.
For the next 10 years or as long as Jesus lets me be the pastor here we will be daily focused on seeing those far from God being raised to new life in Jesus. We want to be crazy farmers who refuse to get comfortable in our holy little huddles, who refuses to play it safe and just hunker down til the rapture comes. We believe that the reason we are still alive and still have breath in our lungs is so that those who don’t know can know. So those who haven’t met Jesus can meet Jesus and be raised to new life in Him.
We want to be so committed to being Jesus witnesses, so committed to making disciples, so committed to boldly communicating the gospel, to being crazy farmers, who tell the Jesus story that skeptics are becoming believers. Dead people are coming alive. Searching people are getting saved. Broken people are being made whole. Dirty people are having their sins washed white as snow by the blood of Jesus. And we want to be constantly celebrating that together publicly through Baptism. Which means everyone of you should have it as your goal, to be baptized and to disciple and baptize someone else.

What is the Gospel? Why does it matter? And how can you be changed by it?
Don't miss this powerful message from Pastor Joey on The good news of The Gospel.
We believe the bold proclamation of the Gospel still has power to save (Romans 1:16). We believe a necessary part of fulfilling the great commission is sharing the gospel (Matthew 24:14). We believe the primary way God saves is through the sharing and responding to the gospel message (Romans 10:9-13). Over the next 10 years we want to be obedient to engage in 344,869 Bold Gospel Conversations. It’s time to put the mission of Jesus back in the hands of everyday people.
Mark 1:14-15
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Mark 16:15-16
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

What if the vision for your life was to be a person of prayer? Before God does a great work, He always sets His people praying. And in this great work that we believe God has called us to, we have to become a people of prayer. The power and longevity of our movement will be determined by the intensity and frequency of our prayers. Luke 10:1-9After this the Lord appointed seventy-two[a] others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

It’s Vision Sunday. We are imagining the future, believing for the impossible, hearing the dream, looking out towards where we are headed.Where we are headed is: Igniting a multiplying Great Commission Movement to change the world.
Vision is what could be or should be in light of what currently is.
We know people who have vision, an entrepreneur, an artist, a sculptor…a painter doesn’t see a blank canvas, they see a masterpiece, a sculptor doesn’t see a block of marble, they see a statue, a designer doesn’t just see a room, behind walls of sheetrock they see an open concept with worlds of possibility.
Visionaries see what could be, what should be in light of what currently is.
Tune into this message today to receive a vision for the next 10 years of your life that will matter in light of eternity.
Matthew 28:16-20
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Have you ever wondered why you should or need to go to church?
Sometimes we need other people in our lives to tell us to stop sleepwalking and to wake up.
Because if we’re honest, it can be easy to find ourselves lulled to sleep in this thing called life.
It’s easy to get caught up in the currents of culture and get stuck in the streams of striving, and let busyness and distraction rule our lives and it doesn’t take long before we find ourselves spiritually lethargic and falling asleep on faith.
But God has created the church, to be the very place where we as the people of God gather together to wake each other up from our spiritual slumber and to step into the purposes that God has for our lives.
Today is all about: Awakening to the Gathering: Why you need to Stop Sleepin’ on Church.
Hebrews 10:19-25
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Listen, life tends to lull us to sleep, we get stuck on auto pilot, caught in the current, we become spiritually lethargic. And I’m guilty of it too. In the busyness and inertia of life we start sleepwalking. We fall asleep on what matters most. We fall asleep on faith, fall asleep on eternity, fall asleep on God. We loose the fire.
At Elevate City, it’s awakening or bust. It’s something supernatural and unexplainable in our generation or let’s just take our ball and go home. We refuse to coast. We don’t want to sleepwalk through life. We want to push back against the spiritual zombie apocalypse that has come over the church today. We’ve got a dying world, we can’t have a sleepy church!
In Acts 2 we see like the OG Awakening. Pentecost. The birth of the church. The first post resurrection revival. The awakening that all other awakenings follow.
Tune into this powerful message from Pastor Joey on awakening to the presence, power, and promises of God.
Acts 2:1-4
When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

We need to awaken to the life that God has created us for. It can become so easy to find ourselves falling into cultural, conventional, and comfortable religion, but Jesus is inviting us to awaken to new life.
Are you bored with your faith? Then God is too.
Tune in to this message today from Pastor Joey to hear about what it looks like to awaken to the life that Jesus has created you for.
John 3:1-16
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Do you know the great God of Awakening? In this powerful message, Pastor Joey encourages us to see the greatness and glory of our God and how when we wake up to His greatness we will experience awakening.
Isaiah 6:1-8
In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” 4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” 8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”

We need awakening because people get sleepy. It’s part of the story. Sin, the enemy, the world, time…lulls us to sleep. We get complacent. We doze off. Become exhausted. Get distracted.
Culture has a way of sedating us, using anesthesia on us. This happens all throughout the biblical narrative, Adam & Eve, People in the days of Noah, the entire Old Testament narrative, John the baptist in prison, the disciples with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, the Ephesian church…we get spiritually sleepy. We fall asleep on spiritual things, spiritual life, the other realm. We treat the spiritual realm like it's the dream world and the physical world like it's the real world and we fail to see what is truly reality - the Kingdom of God.
So Paul writes…
Ephesians 5:15-17
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

What do you Pray when you find yourself in prison? Do you pray when you find yourself in prison?
You may not find yourself in literal prison today but situationally, mentally, emotionally are you locked up? Imprisoned by anxiety, bound by depression, confined by comparison, arrested in addiction, incarcerated by insecurity. Maybe you feel like your house is a prison. Your home is full of dysfunction. You are trapped in a lifeless marriage, a dead end job, and the doors of disappointment keep slamming in your face. It feels like the proverbial walls are closing in on you. There is a part of you that feels like God is punishing you. Like he’s banished you to the dungeon where it is dark, damp, and lonely. Your future feels like it is slipping away. You’ve forgotten how to dream. You don’t know who you are. You are paralyzed. In chains. Stuck between where you are and where you want to be.
You want to know How to turn a prison into a House of Prayer? You pray first for spiritual development instead of circumstantial change. You shift your focus from what God is doing around you to what he is doing within you.
Don't miss this powerful message from Pastor Joey McLaughlin on how to turn a prison into a house of prayer.
Philippians 1:3-11 3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7 It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Would you like to grow in your rhythm and practice of prayer? Would you like to experience power and breakthrough in your prayers?
Well if so, tune into this message from Pastor Mike Reinsel on one of the Apostle Paul's prayers that teaches us how to grow as people of prayer.
Ephesians 3:14-21
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

We’ve all heard the phrase: practice what you preach.
Today, we want to advocate for you to practice what you pray.
We don’t just want to pray prayers with our lips, we want to pray prayers with our lives.
We want our walk to back up our talk.
Because the reality is that if we’re truly gonna build a house of prayer, we’ve got to be a people who practice what we pray.
And the kind of prayer that we’re looking at today is a prayer that’s potentially the most difficult kind of prayer to put into practice but definitely the most powerful.
In this message we're going to study one of the Apostle Paul's prayers from the book of Philemon and discover how un-forgiveness can build barriers in our prayers but forgiveness can bring breakthrough.
Philemon 4-7
4 I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, 5 because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints, 6 and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ. 7 For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.

Why is Jesus delaying his return?
This very real, felt question isn’t limited to first-century believers. Just look at the world around you. Evil is rampant. There’s violence and mass shootings and terror. There’s brokenness and pain and suffering. The innocent are oppressed while the wicked prosper. High rise moguls get rich while the assaulted are shunned. We can’t help but wrestle with the same question. What’s taking Jesus so long to return and right all wrongs?
Peter for 7 chapters has been laboring and preparing to answer this question. To give us a living hope in a world that’s falling apart.
Today in 2 Peter 3 we're going to see how to make it to the end of this journey, no matter the storms that come or how tattered this ship gets, still sailing with King Jesus until I arrive at the sea shores of Heaven.

In 2 Peter chapter 1, we see Peter give a reminder for the early church and for you and me that in this Christian life, those that want to stand resilient, must learn to step out of comfort the of shallow Christianity, ditch the life jacket, and dive into the endless pursuit of knowing the God of the universe.
Because resilient disciples know that there is always more of God to know and that life is best lived when we move from stagnant faith to growing and maturing faith.
Be sure to check out this message from Pastor Joe Baker on growing in the knowledge of God.
2 Peter 1:1-15 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue,[e] and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities[f] are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. 10 Therefore, brothers,[g] be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. 11 For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 12 Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have. 13 I think it right, as long as I am in this body,[h] to stir you up by way of reminder, 14 since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. 15 And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.

Tune in to this powerful message from Pastor Thomas on how to suffer well as a christian in today's culture.
1 Peter 4:12-19
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And
“If the righteous is scarcely saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

After listening to this message you will leave thinking different. Not just thinking different from other people, thinking different from your family, or your friends. You will leave this message asking yourself do I really think like Jesus? How similar is my thought life to Jesus’ thought life? Do I ever think about the things Jesus was thinking about?1 Peter 4:1-11Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. 3 For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4 With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; 5 but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Tune in to this message to learn how to suffer well and impact the world instead of being impacted by the world.
Resilient Christians see earthly suffering as an opportunity to store up heavenly blessing.
Sermon on 1 Peter
1 Peter 3:8-22
8 Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.
10 For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; 11 let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
13 Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, 20 because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.

Do you want to know how to have relationships that are life-giving and long-lasting?
The reality is that Jesus knows how relationships are supposed to work, and His ways are the best ways for us. Don't miss this powerful message from Pastor Joey on Resilient Relationships.
If you want a relationship that is resilient you need a so that eternal perspective.
Sermon on Relationships / 1 Peter 3:1-7
1 Peter 3:1-7
Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.
7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

God’s glory is worth it. Living in obedience to the will of God, is worth it. Living as outcasts in the midst of a world that stands against our convictions, is worth it.
Submitting to leaders that we don’t like or agree with, is worth it.
Living counter-cultural lives, even if it costs us our reputation is worth it.
And that’s where we find ourselves today in 1 Peter chapter 2 verses 11-25…
Asking: How do we live in a world that is not our home, in a place that we don’t belong, submit to authority that we do not prefer, and in all of it follow Jesus, live by this Book, and glorify God???
Resilience describes something that is able to spring back into shape after bending.
It’s the ability for someone to be bent by the pressures of this world but not break.
To go through difficulty, and and pushed and pressed and pulled by circumstance and instead of crumbling, bounce back even stronger than before.
Our whole goal through this series is to be a people who know how to follow Jesus in a world that is falling apart.
Sermon on 1 Peter 2.
1 Peter 2:11-25
11 Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. 12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.
13 Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution,[b] whether it be to the emperor[c] as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants[d] of God. 17 Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. 19 For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 25 For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Tune in to this powerful message from Pastor Joey McLaughlin on how a Christian's identity determines their activity in this world.
1 Peter 2:1So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 1 Peter 2:2-32 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.1 Peter 2:4-84 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” 7 So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” 8 and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.1 Peter 2:9-109 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.Chosen Race Royal Priesthood A Holy Nation A People for His Own Possession That you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.Once not a People of Mercy, now a People of MercySermon on 1 Peter 2.We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

1 Peter 1:13-25
13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for
“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And this word is the good news that was preached to you.

1 Peter 1:1-12
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11 inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.
How to follow Jesus in a world that is falling apart.
Luke 24:13-21
13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19 And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

Matthew 9:35-38
35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
What changes the world?
Prayer changes the world.

Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— 4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.

42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. (Acts 2:42-47)
What if you could move from a powerless routine of prayer to a power-filled relationship with prayer?
Acts 10:2 a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God.
Prayer is the portal to experiencing the power of God in our lives.
Our prayers have power because we pray to the Omnipotent, all powerful, God.
We pray to God in power because the power of God dwells within us.

5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Matthew 21:12-13
And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me”

The primary purpose of prayer is not transactional it’s relational.

In this series we've been looking at the Questions Jesus Asked in scripture. 339 questions Jesus asked, and this Sunday we look a question so important, he asked Peter three times, and we believe it's a question He is gonna ask you one day too.
John 21:15-19
15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” 19 (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”
"Do you love me?"

In this series we've been looking at the Questions Jesus Asked in scripture. 339 questions Jesus asked, but this Sunday we look at the first recorded question Jesus asked. In Luke 2, when he asked "Why were you looking for me, did you not know I would be in my father's house?"
Luke 2:41-52
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. 43 And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44 but supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, 45 and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?”50 And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.
“Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
“...your father and I have been searching for you in great distress”
“...Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?”

This series we're looking into some of the deepest, thought provoking questions Jesus asked in the Bible. Jesus asked 339 questions recorded in scripture and this week we're looking into the question "What Do You Really Want From Me."
Mark 10:46-52
46 And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” 50 And throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.

In this series we're looking into some of the questions asked directly from Jesus himself. Jesus in the Bible asks people 339 questions. Last week we touched on the question "Who do you say that I am" and this week Pastor Joe unpacks the question Jesus asks Peter after Peter walked on water to Jesus. "Peter, why did you doubt."
22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24 but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

If you could ask God one question, what would it be? Think about that? One question to the Lord of Lords, The King of Kings, what would you ask. 2nd question, if God asked YOU one question, what would it be? Well that actually happened, a lot in the people, because in scripture Jesus asked 339 questions. But the most important question he ever asked is found in Matthew 16.
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
“Who do you say that I am?”
Who do you say that Jesus is?
Who do you live like Jesus is?

Mark 1:14-15
…Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Galatians 1:3-9
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond a cure.
Who can understand it?
John 16:33
“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
John 14:6
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Romans 6:1-2
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

For Jesus, friendship is not just a social accessory, its a spiritual and relational necessity.
The greatest recession we’ve seen in this country is not economic but relational. Many of us are bankrupt on relationships.
What if there is someone you are supposed to become, something you are supposed to do, a world you are supposed to live in, that will never happen, without real friends?
Let's talk about real friends.
The Bible calls it friendship, but it also calls it “Koinonia” or Fellowship or One Anothering.
This is actually the second thing we see the early Church was devoted to after the Bible.
Acts 2:42
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship
Let me hear you say fellowship!
The greek word is Koinonia - where we get our word community; a shared life together.
And the biblical vision for these relationships far superseded the shallow form of friendship offered to us by social media and modern life.
Romans 12:9-21
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Do you have real friends?

Romans 12:1-2
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Mark 8:36
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
Romans 12:1
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God
Colossians 3:13
And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
Galatians 4:19
my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!
Romans 8:29
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son
Ephesians 4:11-12
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God…
2 Corinthians 3:18
And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

We long for something real. We live in a world and in a time that is so focused on our external appearance, our external performance, and what we can do to compare and compete for the approval of others. We have idolized the approval of our peers.
But what if you were made to not just live a life focused on the external things of this world but what’s eternal, what lasts beyond the here and now?
Because here’s the reality, fake focuses on temporary, fake focuses on what’s external, but lives of meaning and significance and purpose focus and live for what is eternal above all else.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 “…he has put eternity into man’s heart…”
In every human soul is a God-given awareness that there is “something more” than this transient world.
You were made for more than just the here and now. You were made to live a life that matters in eternity. So how do we focus on the eternal in a world of external pursuits?
Let's look in Matthew 6:25-34 to see what Jesus has to say:
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

So what is love? What is real love? What is true love? How do I know if someone is really the one? Is there really, a one? Do you really just, know when you know? And how do I stay in love? And what do I do if I feel like I am falling out of love? What if the one I love doesn’t love me back? What if love has grown cold? What if the sparks no longer fly? And is it really better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all?
1 Cor. 13:4a - Love is patient and kind.
Fake love looks perfect. Real love is committed to the process.
Fake love looks wild and free. Real love is intentional and grows in time.
1 Cor. 13:4b - …it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud
1 Corinthians 13:5a
Love does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
1 Corinthians 13:5b
Love is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs
1 Corinthians 13:6
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth
1 Corinthians 13:7
Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:8
Real Love never ends.

Last week we kicked off a brand new collection of messages called Christmas Like Jesus — and it’s in this series that we want to look at the theme of Christmas through the lens of what Jesus actually came to do, and who He came to be for you and me. We want to trade in the chaos of the commercialized culture of Christmas for the true peace of Christmas. This series is very fitting for who we are as a church, if you’re new we need you to know that we are some Jesus People, we are wildly passionate about you encountering the person of Jesus, and we truly believe that Jesus changes everything. So this Christmas, Jesus is who we want to shine the spot light on. Jesus is the story we want to tell. Jesus is the banner we want to raise over this holiday season. And we want to be known as a people who truly Christmas Like Jesus…
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many - Jesus
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Luke 12:32-34
32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
2 Corinthians 8:9
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
2 Corinthians 9:10-11
10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
2 Corinthians 9:7
...God loves a cheerful giver.

2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:1-11
1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”
4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”
Isaiah 6:1-5

Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Mark 10:35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” 36 And he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” 37 And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.”
Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (I have all that I need).
Luke 12:22-23 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
Luke 12:29-31 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
38 Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.” 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. 42 And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43 But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

In this series, we wanted to dive into and talk about the things that our world is talking about. We asked our church to give us topics and ideas to speak and point to what Jesus says about these things and answering the question of what does the Bible say about the hot topics of our day. No opinions. Just truth. Not sugar coated. We pray this series brings you closer to the heart of God for his people, for our nation, for our cities. In this message, Pastor Joey wraps up this series with the topic of parenting and answering some of the biggest questions parents ask about "the right way" to raise their kids.
Psalm 127:3-4
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!
Parenting is a lot of work but I want you to know the Bible says having kids is a blessing. But sometimes blessing’s can be confused with burdens because they are both heavy. Parenting is heavy because God is a father, and He has the heart of a mother, and that imagery which your kids see in you is going to be projected on God. Your kids will get to an accurate picture of God because of you or they will have to get there in great difficulty, in spite of you…
We need to be in the business of raising kids like arrows. To be sent out! To push darkness back! To storm the gates of hell! To make some noise!
The bible says kids are Arrows, arrows are weapons and we are at war.
This is the most, seat belted, air bagged, peanut avoiding, gluten free, sun screen lathering, massively medicated, password protected, inoculated generation in history. Where are the arrows? There is no greater weapon then the next generation. So how do we raise kids to be arrows?
To overcome and not be overcome? To win the war and not become victims of it?
Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

In this message, Pastor Joey continues to talk about one of the hotter topics of our day: sexuality but even more specifically Gender, Identity & LGBTQ+
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Genesis 1:26-27
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
Leviticus 18:22
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination…
1 Timothy 1:8-11
8 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10 the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

Phillip Yancey
"I know of no greater failure among Christians than in presenting a persuasive point of view on sexuality. Outside the church, people think of God as the great spoilsport of human sexuality, not its inventor.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-20
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13 “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

No opinions. Just truth. Not sugar coated. We pray this series brings you closer to the heart of God for his people, for our nation, for our cities. In this message, Pastor Joe Baker brings down the idea of Deconstructing and what is the healthy way to ask questions.
Ephesians 4:11-15
11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ...
So what is deconstruction? Roughly speaking, deconstruction is the dismantling of anything that's been constructed.
...”Did God actually say?” - Genesis 3:1
Theological deconstruction: is the process of dismantling one's accepted beliefs.
Matthew 28:16-20: 16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
In John 14:15 Jesus says: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”
Hebrews 13::17 “Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account...”

Ephesians 4:14
so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up…
John 1:14
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 8:32
“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 18:36-38
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” 37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
Romans 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
We are people of a book. Our understanding of God is not shaped primarily by experience, tradition, popular opinion, culture or what we’re comfortable with…our understanding of God is shaped by the word of God. This is our first source, final authority, and the greatest love story ever written and the best part of all, it’s true.

Starting off Year 3 of Elevate City Church, we are looking into one of the famous, well known, most quoted verses of the Bible, John 3:16 and the concept of God's love given to us and what that means now for us for now and forever. Today's message is from our lead Pastor, Joey McLaughlin.
John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Malachi 1:2 “I have loved you,” says the Lord. But you say, “How have you loved us?” Our goal with this message is for you to see it, know it, taste it, and experience the Love of God. Because God’s love is specific. It’s dynamic. It’s personal. It’s proven. It’s evident. It’s intimate. It’s wild. It’s relentless. And it’s very, very, costly.
In the Book of Exodus we get the most repeated verse in the Bible by the Bible. The writers of the Bible quote this verse in the Bible more then any other verse… (Exodus 34:6-7) "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love…" How Does He Love? By communicating it.
1 John 4:19 says God said it first…
We love because he first loved us. - Oh how He Loves.
He wrote a love letter to show me HOW HE LOVES!!!!

On December 21st, 2021, Elevate City received word we would no longer be able to meet at the Marriott Hotel, so Pastor Joey received a different word from God from 2 Chronicles 20:12 "O our God, will you not execute judgment on them? For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”

In these four weeks our church is diving into unpacking questions and verses about the Holy Spirit and what is the Holy Spirit. Who is the Holy Spirit? Why has the church forgotten about or swept under the rug the person of the Holy Spirit. But because of this, most of American church is actually missing a whole part of who God is.

In these four weeks our church is diving into unpacking questions and verses about the Holy Spirit and what is the Holy Spirit. Who is the Holy Spirit? Why has the church forgotten about or swept under the rug the person of the Holy Spirit. But because of this, most of American church is actually missing a whole part of who God is.
1 Corinthians 2:6-14
6 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written,“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. 14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
Romans 14:17
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Not just a knowledge of God, but an experience with God.
Acts 28:8-9
It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him, healed him. 9 And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured.
1 Corinthians 12:1
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed... 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

Why has the church forgotten about or swept under the rug the person of the Holy Spirit. But because of this, most of American church is actually missing a whole part of who God is.
Luke 24:44-49
44 Then Jesus said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 2:1-4
When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.…
Acts 3:12
And when Peter saw it he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we have made him walk?
Acts 4:33
And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
Acts 6:8
And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.
Acts 8:18-21
18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money! 21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.

John 14:25-27
“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you…
The Spirit inside you, is better than Jesus beside you.
The Spirit inside you, is better than Jesus physically walking beside you.
A Barna study reported that 60% of people who regular attend church, don’t think there is a Holy Spirit. The biggest problem in the church today is that we have no idea who God is.
The first thing that is absolutely imperative for you to know about Him tonight is that… The Holy Spirit IS God. Genesis 1:1-2
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Life with the Holy Spirit isn’t as much about a new way to be human as it is returning what it meant to be human in the first place. To have God’s spirit in you.

Earlier this year in 2022 our church went through a series entitled Jesus People, hitting our culture and values statements as a church. Such as Jesus is our message, adventure is our attitude, love is our language, etc. We want to be a church full of Jesus People so we need to figure out what makes a Jesus People. How does a Jesus People live, walk, speak, GO! This week Pastor Joey unpacks and challenges us to live out the value statement "Passion is Our Posture" and looking into the 7 Hebrew Words for Praise.
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. What does your posture of worship communicate about what you value most?
-
YADAH Yâdâh, yaw-daw ́: To revere or worship with extended hands. To hold out the hands. To throw a stone or arrow. PSALM 67:3— May the peoples praise (yâdâh) you, God; may all the peoples praise (yâdâh) you.
-
HALAL Hâlal, haw-lal ́: To boast. To rave. To shine. To celebrate. To be clamorously foolish. Let them praise (hâlal) his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. —PSALM 149:3
-
ZAMAR Zâmar, zaw-mar ́: To make music. To celebrate in song and music. To touch the strings or parts of a musical instrument. I will sing a new song to You, O God; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises (zâmar) to You. —PSALM 144:9
-
Tôwdâh, to-daw ́: An extension of the hand. Thanksgiving. A confession. A sacrifice of praise. Thanksgiving for things not yet received. A choir of worshippers. In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises (tôwdâh) to You. —PSALM 56:11–12
-
Bârak, baw-rak ́: To kneel. To bless God (as an act of adoration). To praise. To salute. To thank. Praise (bârak) the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise (bârak) the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits . . . Praise (bârak) the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. Praise (bârak) the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will. Praise (bârak) the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise (bârak) the Lord, my soul. (Psalm 103:1–2, 20–22)
-
Tehillâh, teh-hil-law ́: Laudation. A hymn. A song of praise. A new song. A spontaneous song. But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises (tehillâh) of Israel. —PSALM 22:3 7. Shâbach, shaw-bakh ́: To address in a loud tone. To shout. To commend, glory, and triumph. One generation shall praise (shâbach) Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. —PSALM 145:4 We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.

How does a Jesus People live, walk, speak, GO! This week Pastor Joey unpacks and challenges us to live out the value statement "Generosity Is Golden."
Acts 20:35 "remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Acts 17:25: "He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things"
You are breathing in and out the generosity of God.
Genesis 1:29: And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.”
James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights…
And yet all of that is but a glimmer of what God has given you in Jesus.
John 3:16 For God so Loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Generosity is love in action. For God so loved the world that he gave.
You can give without loving, but you can not love without giving.
God crazy loves us so he generously gives us Jesus.
God is a generous God, and that’s why Jesus people are generous people.
Generosity is not about what God needs, Generosity is not about what the church needs, Generosity is about what your soul needs.

How does a Jesus People live, walk, speak, GO! This week Pastor Joey unpacks and challenges us to live out the value statement "Give My Best," through acts of serving.
Ephesians 2:10 says it like this, we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. God made you and saved you for a good work! God’s got a good work for you.
Mark 9:33-35
33 And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. 35 And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
“If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
AKA: Greatness comes through service.
We live in a world obsessed with greatness, addicted to greatness, chasing greatness, but going about getting it in all the wrong ways. Jesus flips the path to greatness on his head. Want to be first? Be last. Want to be great? Start to Serve. Being a Jesus person does not remove the desire for greatness… it reframes the definition of greatness. Greatness is now synonymous with service. This is an upside down kingdom we are apart of.
Philippians 2:3-7
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant
We have a king who came not just wrapped in flesh, but wrapped with a towel on his arm as a servant. Servant is Jesus identity… which means as Jesus people servant is our identity. We are servants. Church was never intended to be a place we just watch service, it’s meant to be a place we are a part of service. Church is not a spectator sport. Church is a participatory activity.
Earlier this year in 2022 our church went through a series entitled Jesus People, hitting our culture and values statements as a church. Such as Jesus is our message, adventure is our attitude, love is our language, etc. We want to be a church full of Jesus People so we need to figure out what makes a Jesus People. How does a Jesus People live, walk, speak, GO! This week Pastor Joey hit on the importance of Loving God with all of our heart, soul and mind.
Matthew 22:34-40
34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
When you read through Matthew 22, ask yourself these 2 questions.
What is most important?
What am I fighting for?
Don't miss this message from Pastor Joey and begin to fight for relationship in your life, loving God the Father with all your heart and loving your neighbor as yourself.

Pastor Vince from Verve Church in Las Vegas joins us this Sunday to speak about what it looks like for us to live our life on mission!
Luke 15:4-6, 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’
“Oh, my anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh, the agony of my heart! My heart pounds within me. I cannot keep silent.” (Jeremiah 4:19).
They are senseless children; they have no understanding.” (Jeremiah 4:22). And God says, “If u will return, O Israel, return to me…” (Jeremiah 4:1)
John 20:21, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” He was sent to pursue God’s senseless children who had wandered off. We are sent to pursue God’s senseless children who have wandered off.

This summer here at Elevate City, we are taking a deep dive into the book of Galatians and Paul's journey through the days of the early church. This week Pastor Joey McLaughlin takes us through Galatians 6 and asks of to ask to 2 questions to ourselves.
What am I living free from? And what am I living free for?
Jesus didn’t set you free to stay the same. What are you going to do with the freedom you now have? I am free for what? To be the most generous person on the planet, to be a walking billboard for Jesus, to get out from under societal expectations and pursue the God dream for my life?
Galatians 6:1: Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. You’re set free from sin, but sin isn’t done trying to make a slave of you. Because Galatians 6:1 indicates GOD’S HEART FOR THOSE CAUGHT IN SIN IS NOT REJECTION IT’S RESTORATION. To be a Christian, is to be a forgiven sinner, who is a work in progress. To know, I am a work in progress that God is still restoring.
Being free doesn’t make us immune from sin it simply gives us the
strength to confront it. 1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Freedom means you don’t have to conceal your sin, you can confess your sin.
What should you do now that your free?
You should confess and be restored...and if you are restored you should be engaged in restoration. Gently. You're free, to help others get free. You’ve enjoyed freedom it’s time to lead others into it. You’ve experienced freedom its time to help others taste it. If we had a culture of confession and gentle restoration start to grow at this church there wouldn’t be enough space for the people it would attract. If people really knew it was ok, to not be ok, but not ok to stay that way. That sin didn’t have to stay concealed because that creates slavery, but sin could be confessed and cared for because that’s where freedom is found there would be no limit to the move of God we’d see happen here. Galatians 6:2: Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Don't miss this conclusion to this powerful series in Galatians about what it means for us to Live Free in Jesus and what do we do with that freedom.
This summer here at Elevate City, we are taking a deep dive into the book of Galatians and Paul's journey through the days of the early church. This week Pastor Joe Baker takes us through chapter 5 of Galatians as we look to answer "What does it mean to live free?" And more specifically, "What does Freedom in Jesus feel like?"
Galatians 5:1: For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery." Paul says it’s FOR freedom you’ve been set free. Not for religiosity, not for mediocrity, not for complacency, but for FREEDOM you’ve been set free. One echo throughout this whole book of Galatians has been this reminder, that we are saved or Justified by Grace alone, thru faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone. And that no longer do we need to earn God’s favor by works or religious rituals. Paul first calls us to live free from the shackles of the Law or free from religiosity.
Galatians 5:13: For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh..." The world tells us to be true to ourselves and follow all of our desires... Jesus says to die to ourselves and desire God above all. Ephesians 4:21-24: "when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
Without Jesus, freedom is your desire. With Jesus, freedom is your destiny. Come to Jesus and you’ll find freedom. Freedom is genuinely wanting the things that lead to flourishing.

This summer here at Elevate City, we are taking a deep dive into the book of Galatians and Paul's journey through the days of the early church. Today Pastor Joey takes us into Galatians 4 and the idea of God as our Father and the perfection of our earthly Father and how that changes our lives and our view our life completely. The ultimate question from today to unpack is am I seen as a Son or a Slave, and do I see God as my Father or my Master?
Galatians 4:3-5
3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
God’s pleasure with us isn’t based religion towards Him but relationship with Him. Jesus at the end of his life..Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." Seeing God as your father isn’t A way to see God its THE way to see God. Galatians 4:6-7: 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God."
The gift of adoption is we can cry out and our father comes, he runs, he shows up…he listens when we talk. Religion is :"I messed up. Dad's gonna kill me.” The Gospel is: "I messed up. I need to call Dad." Galatians 4:8-9
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?
Don’t settle for life as a slave when God’s offer is for you to be his son. This world is one giant orphanage and God sent his son Jesus to stand at the door and knock to extend an invitation for you to be in his family…
But no family is created without blood. That’s why Jesus died.

This summer here at Elevate City, we are taking a deep dive into the book of Galatians and Paul's journey through the days of the early church. In this message Pastor Joe takes us through Galatians Chapter 3 as we focus on the outcomes of our faith but the object of our faith — the foundation of our faith — the focus of our faith — which is trusting in the promise keeping God. This message is about us trusting in God and believing that he will deliver on His promises.
Galatians 3:2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? / Galatians 3:5-6 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?
By referencing Abraham here in chapter 3, Paul is appealing to historical rhetoric and religious reason for the Jewish people of the day that Paul was writing to — it’s a big deal.
Genesis 12:1-3 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in (through) you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
God makes three promises to Abraham: 1) The promise of a land of his own; 2) the promise to be made into a great nation; and 3) the promise of blessing.
Genesis 15:5-6 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
Abraham even tho he was 99 years old at this point, believed God, he had faith that God would deliver on his promise and because of that:: righteousness was credited to him.
Galatians 3:9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
The vehicle by which we receive salvation is faith — the byproduct of that faith is action.
Faith in Jesus is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. You also need a foundation of faith to free you from the pursuits of this world.
Galatians 3:13-14 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles…

This summer here at Elevate City, we are taking a deep dive into the book of Galatians and Paul's journey through the days of the early church. The question Pastor Joey unpacks today through Galatians Chapter 2 is What does Jesus demand? And what happens when Jesus gets what he wants?
Galatians 2:15-16: We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no will be justified.
What causes someone to stand as just before a Holy God? And Peter is trying to make clear through Galatians 2:15-16 is that the Law and works of the Law can NOT save you. Only be faith in Jesus Christ can we be saved. That's what makes Jesus and the Christian faith so radically different from every other religion, that we can NOT earn salvation from God but it is freely given by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Galatians 2:20: I have crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
The 2nd part of the question today is found in Galatians 2:20 that it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me. That my old self is crucified with Christ 2000 years ago, that in same way when Jesus died on that Christ, my old self before Christ died too.

This summer at Elevate City our church is taking a deep dive together through the book of Galatians and looking into Paul's journey through the early days of the church of Galatia.
The book of Galatians is written by Paul through the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul who was formally Saul was ravaging the early church and had the authority to chase down, arrest and in some cases murder Christians but then one day, as he’s on his way to arrest followers of Jesus — he is knocked off of his horse by Jesus, blinded, and then Jesus calls him to surrender his life to him and to build his church.
So Paul and Barnabas planted churches in Galatia and the gospel is spreading it’s great... But then there’s a problem... there arose this group of Jewish leaders known as the Judaizers who thought that Paul was watering down the Bible, and they began to preach a gospel of "Legalism."
They couldn’t fathom believing that salvation really could be received freely. The problem with the mindset of legalism is that it stands in opposition to the Biblical message of Grace.
Galatians 1:6-7: I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
Because the words of this letter from Paul are so urgent and he is so passionate, it’s as if he is writing them in ALL CAPS. Paul is so passionate that at the end of the letter in chapter 6:11 he says “see with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand”
Before Paul ever calls out their false Gospel, he reminds them of the true Gospel.
-
There is a God and He is good
-
There’s a problem, we have sinned.
-
There is Hope and His name is Jesus.
-
There is a response, the surrender of my life.

Jesus People are called, commanded and commissioned to Courageously Go.
Matthew 28:18-20 is the foundation of Jesus' heart for the world to know Him and for us, the church, to reach them. What we know as "The Great Commission." The last words on earth Jesus spoke.
18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Jesus didn’t leave his people with a religion, he left them with a mission. Jesus People Go. Jesus People Make Disciples of all peoples to the ends of the earth. The idea here is that Jesus is making for himself a people from every people group on earth. That’s what it means to be Jesus People. To be a part of a family made up of every people group on earth. This is what Jesus people live for. This is what Jesus people die for.
Don't miss this powerful message from Joey McLaughlin and courageously say yes to the mission Jesus started 2000 years ago, to make His name famous to all nations.

Are you living out the adventure God has for you? If we want to be Jesus people, we have to realize the adventure that Jesus has called us too. Here at Elevate City we believe that God has SENT us and in order for us to live "adventure as our attitude" we have to live as if we are sent. We believe living this way isn't something "we do", it is who we are!
John 3:17 says "For God did not SEND the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him." Being sent starts with us realizing that Jesus was first sent to us. Jesus took on the ultimate adventure and came from heaven to earth to be with us. To love us. Empty himself. He left his throne and came to be fully human.
Adventure should increase for us when we're together. This is the attitude of us as a church. Luke 10:1 says "After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and SENT them on ahead of him, TWO BY TWO, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.
Luke 10 goes on to say, 2 And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few,. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way, behold, I am sending you out lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals and greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say 'Peace be to this house!" 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.' 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near. 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
Don't let the adventure God is calling you on pass you by. We hope this powerful message from Thomas Cheesman encourages you and challenges you to say yes to the adventure Jesus is calling you to.

Elevate City isn’t in the entertainment business, we’re in the equipping business.
Jesus People have been given a new purpose to push back darkness, rescue people and change the world. That mission is too critical to just go to Church, Jesus People get equipped to Be the Church.
This message is designed to fundamentally change how you see everything we do. From Sunday services, to small groups, basecamp, equip, discipling relationships, prayer meetings, online content, camps, retreats, dream team - all of it.
It’s not for your entertainment or enjoyment…it’s for your equipping.
Don't miss this powerful message from Pastor Joey McLaughlin.
Ephesians 4:11-16
11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

What side of the resurrection do you act like you live on?
In Acts 2 the Spirit of Jesus shows up and Jesus people are never the same. Fear gives way to faith and the DNA of the disciples gets rewritten. These people who were nowhere to be found, silent at Jesus trial and hiding behind locked doors… begin to bleed boldness.
When theologians pick a singular word to describe the personality of the post resurrection early church, its: Boldness.
It doesn’t matter the situation or setting. It’s Boldness. In freedom, under pressure, in a crowd, on trial…boldness.
When you cut them, Jesus people bleed boldness.
When life cuts you what do you bleed? What comes out?
What is core to who you are? What is your DNA?
What side of the resurrection do you act like you live on?
Subdued in fear on Friday or Bold in faith on Sunday?
The resurrection of Jesus & the Spirit of Jesus demands that Jesus people, bleed boldness.
Don't miss this powerful message from Pastor Joey McLaughlin on the boldness of the early church.
Acts 4:13
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

One of our jobs as Jesus People is to make sure that we never stop telling the next generation about the greatness of our God. This message is all about how we don’t just believe the YOUTH are just the church of tomorrow, we believe that they are the church of today! Kids and students matter here. We will do everything possible to help them fall in love with Jesus and lead the way in the Kingdom.
Now why would we take an entire Sunday to talk about this? Don’t we have other things to focus on?Why would we as a new church be so passionate about snotty nosed babies, wild toddlers, crazy kids, and the youth of today?
The short answer is because JESUS is passionate about the now generation.
The next Now Generation matters to Jesus—and if they matter to Jesus, they must matter to us.
So my whole hope today, is to help you get a greater picture for the kingdom of Jesus, a heart for what He’s passionate about, I want the Spirit of Jesus thru the word of God to stir in you a heart for Young people, no matter how old you are or what stage of life you find yourself in.
This is not a Ted talk on young people today — this is a message about the heart of God and His heart for the Now Generation.
Jesus People value the Nowgen because Jesus values the Nowgen.
Matthew 18:3-5
“and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me,
Matthew 19:13-15
13 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.
14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

We’re never going to change the subject. We aren't going to graduate and go onto something else. It’s only, ever, always going to be about Jesus.
We are trying to help you see Jesus is the focal point of eternity. Jesus' offer is the best offer. Jesus way is the best way.
For too long the church has been known for what they’re against.
We want to make it explicitly clear who we are for. We are for Jesus.
For his glory. For his ways. For his gospel. For his Kingdom.
Jesus is who we want to shine the spotlight on. Jesus is the story we want to tell. Jesus is the banner we want to raise.
A church who doesn’t have Jesus as their message, makes secondary things primary. They major on minors and miss the major.
Works and morality become the message. Rules and rule following become the message.
If your concerned with peoples clothes, Jesus isn’t your message.
If your most concerned with methods, Jesus isn’t your message.
Jesus was a fisher of men, and he knows the way to catch the heart of man is by not trying to clean the fish before you catch it.
The message of Jesus is not about who’s most qualified or most holy, the message is that Jesus loves you and wants a relationship with you...whoever you are.
Colossians 1:15-23
"15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. 21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel…"

Don't miss this powerful message from Pastor Joey McLaughlin on Ephesians 3 and the MORE that God has in store for your life.
Life is better when it's lived with Jesus and for Jesus.
Ephesians 3:14-21
"14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

Why do we find ourselves looking for life in dead things? Do you find yourself returning to that same dead thing over and over again seeking for it to provide something that it never does or never will?
A dead Jesus changes nothing but if Jesus truly is alive, that changes everything.
In Jesus alone is where true life is found. Why? Because He is alive!
Do you have questions or doubts about the resurrection?
Don't miss this powerful message from Pastor Joey McLaughlin on the resurrection of Jesus!

What if Jesus wants to lead you thru the very thing that you have been conditioned to avoid?
Why don’t we invite people to come & see?
Because we’ve been taught to avoid it. Our culture is increasingly conditioning us to keep Jesus to ourselves.
Can we have more faith about what God might do than we have fear about what might go wrong if we share Jesus with someone?
Tune in to this powerful message from Pastor Joey McLaughlin on how to invite people to come and experience Jesus no matter the circumstance.
John 4 -- The Samaritan Woman.
John 4:5-8 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” 8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.)

You and I are the marketing department for Christianity.
YOU AND I ARE ADVERTISING PLAN A AND THERE IS NO PLAN B.
If you didn’t know you had a job in this Jesus business, now you do, welcome to orientation!
Those who have tasted and seen how good Jesus is invite people to come and do the same.
Brought people, bring people, found people, find people, saved people, serve people.
Make no mistake, it’s Gods job to save, its our job to invite people to come & see.
The recipe of the Christian revolution is ordinary men and women who invite others to Come & See.
We are not trying to build a community where you just come and get, we are trying to build a community where you realize you’ve been commissioned by Jesus to help other people, come and see.
John 1:38 Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and you will see.”
John 1:46 Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

The reason this book doesn’t end in chapter 3 is because the chase isn’t over. God did not give up on Jonah and He has not given up on you.
God is after Jonah's heart.
Did you know that God is after your heart today?
God wants more than religious action, he wants to transform your intentions. He wants to change your insides. Give you new desires. And a new heart.
How far will God run after runaways? All the way to the cross.

Do you ever wish that you could just have a rewrite on your story? Do you ever wish that God would just give you a second chance to start over again? In Jonah chapter 3 we see that Jonah gets a second chance from God to rewrite the story that he seemed to mess up. Jonah puts the pen into the hands of God and what God writes is so much more amazing than anything Jonah could of done on his own.
God gives Jonah a second chance and that second chance changes everything.
Jonah 3:3 "So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey in breadth."
Jonah 3:4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!”
Jonah 3:5 And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
Jonah 3:10 When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
Luke 11:32 "The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here."
Mark 1:14-15 "Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

What do you do when you find yourself in over your head? What's your response when you find yourself in a seemingly impossible situation?
Jonah finds himself in the belly of a whale and what does he do first? He prays to the Lord His God.
Jonah 2:1
"Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish…"
Prayer is always the right response of a runaway.
Prayer is surrender.
Prayer can pump the brakes on your inclination to run.
It's hard to run from God when you've learned to fall on your knees.
We need to learn to pray from the belly of whatever whale we find ourselves in today.

Anxiety is the most predominant form of mental illness in our country, plaguing both young and old, showing up as post-traumatic stress syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder, even phobias and generalized anxiety disorder.
It can be as simple as feeling nervous & overwhelmed or as intense as having physical reactions like shaking, increased heart rate, shortness of breath, sweating, and crippling fear.
Culturally, we are a nervous wreck, and no one is immune to it.
Studies show that 86% of people consider themselves worriers.
People on average say they spend 1 hour and 50 minutes a day worrying.
That adds up to 13 hours a week
28 days a year
6 years of our life...worrying.
But what if you could be anxious for nothing?
John 10:10-11
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."
Galatians 5:1
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free."
Philippians 4:4
"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice."
Philippians 4:5
"Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;"
Philippians 4:6
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."
Philippians 4:7
"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:8-9
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you."

Do you know what it's like to hear His voice?
How do you know if God is speaking to you?
If we won’t tune in to hear God’s voice then we will be sheep who do not know the joy it is to know the voice of our shepherd.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff,they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;you anoint my head with oil;my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow meall the days of my life,and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

How do we keep our eyes on the Shepherd?
How in the world, in modern day 2022, with Pandemics and riots and economics and tik-toks do we do this Jesus following thing?
Digital technology continues to push the pace of life faster and faster. Ideas of beauty and success and happiness are increasingly informed by social media. The last 2 years have taken life as we know it and flipped it on its head. We have been driven into isolation, fear, confusion. All the chaos and noise that surrounds us has produced worry and fear within us and it’s got a lot of us asking the question how do I make it out alive!? How do any of us make it out alive!? How do I get through this thing called life and not loose my soul?
And we're here to tell you…You keep your eyes on the Shepherd.

John 10:14-16
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice.

What the churches at Macedonia gave was money, but what the apostle Paul called it was grace.
What would happen today if the way you saw money fundamentally changed and you didn’t see it as just money, but you saw it as grace.
If we are want to build a church that is fresh and that is full of vision and that is moving forward. If we want to build a church in this city, for this generation and for generations to come. If we want to be a church that is innovative and expanding, that is running into places that people are running out of and brining prodigals back home...then we are going to need to be the kind of people who reject a spirit of obligation and say yes to a spirit of opportunity.
We don’t see giving begrudgingly, but who see it as a grace!

Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Who we are and how we behave will determine the impact we have in building something that matters.
In Nehemiah 7 & 8 the story begins to shift from construction to culture. What is culture? Culture is the beliefs and behaviors that create distinctiveness in an organization.
It’s the intangible, “it factor” that draws people in and keeps them wanting more.
It’s the “what is it about this place?” That’s culture. I’s the DNA running through every aspect of what we are doing. It’s ideas expressed in action.
Nehemiah 8

What do you do when trials come your way? In week one of our new series on the book of James, Joey McLaughlin dives into chapter one and the stranger we encounter named Joy.
That which intendeds to harm takes the shape of that which is meant to protect. You know in Christianity the opposite is true. That which shows up as difficulty takes the shape of destiny when it knocks on the door of Christianity. James talks about faith in real life. Faith that doesn’t just work in here but faith that works out there in the real world, full of real problems and real challenges and real temptations and real conflict and real tragedy and real difficult decisions and real opposition and real difficult people.

What would our world look like today if we had that same kind of urgency to spread the Gospel?
