Elevate City Church

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 ch...

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...

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 y...

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...

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 Sl...

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 abou...

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 justif...

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 Christia...

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 disciple...

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 S...

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 smal...

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...

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....

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...

Stop living a basic life when God has abundantly more in store for you.  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 nam...

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 re...

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...

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.&nb...

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 r...

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.&nbsp...

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 surre...

What is God’s relationship with people who run from Him?  How does God respond and to what extent is He willing to go to chase after runaways?  There is no clearer picture of how God responds to runaways then the one we find in the book of Jonah. Don't miss this powerful message from Pastor Joey McLaughlin on the God Who Chases After Runaways. Jonah Chapter 1 Jonah 1:3  "But Jonah r...

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 cripp...

Do you struggle to understand how to hear from God? 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. Tune in to see three ways that the Shepherd gives you to hear his voice. God’s Word, God's People, and God’s Spirit. Don't miss this...
