Elevate Christian Church Podcast

Saul was the great enemy of the Church. He murdered Christians and was in his own words, “a violent man”. Saul was feared by the church. Then God moved! Saul came face to face with Jesus and everything changed, including his name. Paul the apostle became the Churches greatest champion. He did all this simply by moving with God. We can have that kind of movement in our lives as well.

The final tree that we will look at is the Cross of Jesus. Peter writes the following words: 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. During this message we will look at the redemptive work of Jesus on the cross. We will learn that everything lost from the tree of knowledge can be regained through the...

For centuries scholars have tried to answer the question: Why did God put that tree in the garden? Skeptics bring that question up frequently. During this message we will examine the tree of knowledge and see that God allowed it to be put there so that we would have a choice. Love is not love without a choice.

We see the tree of life in the Garden of Eden and then we see it again in “The New Creation” aka heaven. The tree of life teaches us that God came to give us life. In creation God made us to be eternal beings and God desires for us to be part of His New Creation where we will gather around the tree of life!

Elisha the Prophet - Week 3 by Elevate Christian Church

This memorable story, far from being a moralistic tale about honoring elders or preachers, is a brief glimpse into the age-old war that began in a garden and ended at an empty tomb. Bears may play a significant role here, but the real animal in this overarching story is a serpent. His slithering and slandering tongue was inside the mouths of these mockers. The god whom they served, Baal, was just...

In this story; Elisha asks God for a double portion of the blessing that He poured out on the Prophet Elijah. The idea of a double portion was not to ask for twice as much as Elijah had, but to ask for the portion that went to the firstborn son, as in Deuteronomy 21:17. Elisha asked for the right to be regarded as the successor of Elijah, as his firstborn son in regard to ministry. Yet Elisha had...

As believers in Jesus, we are ambassadors of heaven's kingdom. We are situated on the foreign soil of a fallen earth, but this compromised version of it is not our home. We are in the world, but we are not "of the world" John 17:14, 16). Instead of mixing in seamlessly with it, we must remain constantly aware that we are on assignment to represent the interests and ideals of the kingdom from which...

During this message we will review the previous 5 weeks and learn that in order to leave our empire behind and to walk toward God’s Kingdom we must practice obedience, generosity, steadfastness, selflessness, and preparation.

I love a good Airbnb. Clean, luxurious, and in a great location. Airbnb uses a five-star rating system. In John 14, Jesus tells us He is going to heaven to prepare a place for us with many rooms. It’s the greatest Airbnb of all time. Jesus will meet us there. When we think about standing face to face with Jesus, are we prepared or panicked?

Synopsis-Jesus said, “On this rock I build my church.” Sometimes we try to make “his” church “our church”. We will examine what a healthy church should look like.

We all have monumental moments in life (towers). In our lives we build towers like families, port folios, businesses, careers, churches, retirements. The biggest tower we build is our faith. This message is about counting the cost of following Jesus. No one should build a tower without first counting the cost.

Walter Scott once said: “If a farmer fills his barn with grain, he gets mice.” We will examine the parable of the rich fool and ask the question: “Where are you storing your treasure?”

Our “house” is what embodies our minds, intellects, emotions, and our wills. Jesus teaches that the most solid fountain to build our house on is obedience.

Inspired by the BEMA podcast, we look at the competing narratives in the Bible: “empire” (the world’s kingdoms) and “shalom” (God’s kingdom).
