Elim Church

As a follower of Jesus it’s impossible to not engage, love and have a heart for God’s house. We all know there is something so special when you’re apart of a life giving community, a healthy vibrant church that has vision, care and a heart to see more people come to know Jesus. Today Ps. Lukas talks about having a heart for the house, why God has always chosen people AND places to dwell and bring...

God calls us into obedience to Him, in our walk, in our conduct, in our speech and in our giving. Yet if we will really let God take full control over our lives, over our heart, and over our finances, He will perform miracles with what we bring to Him. That is what is so incredible about Jesus.. He can take our smallest sacrifice, and create the most incredible surplus. We really hope you’ll hear...

The church has always been marked by generosity. Radical giving that fuels the great commission to all corners of the world. Yet, in the last 30 years, we as people have become less generous and more concerned with holding onto our money. The truth is, christians are called to be generous.. the greater truth, money and giving says more about you and your relationship to the gospel than you realize...

Not only is it baptism Sunday, but today we are joining with other 50 churches on Pentecost Sunday on what we believe is a historic day for our nation. We believe that baptism is a crucial step in everyone’s journey, and today we get to celebrate with heaven on this incredible Sunday.

It’s vision Sunday and we are looking ahead at all that God is calling Elim Church to be. In this sermon, Ps. Lukas casts vision over our church and helps us see that our vision although no different than the great commission still carries a specific heart that makes Elim Special. Elim is called to think globally, grow generationally and give generously. Join us this month as we discover more abou...

Our series "Dear Church” started from a place of writing a letter to a church all about the thoughts and emotions someone has as they walk into and engage in their local church. What’s so powerful is we already have biblical texts of Paul, writing to his local churches with wisdom and thankfulness. Yet if we look closer.. there is a theme in most of his letters to all the churches. That theme, is...

As we walk through a series about the local church, we need to look back at our first week on church hurt and ask ourselves where in our church practice have we maybe fallen short or gotten it flat out wrong? The local church should one end run and operate smoothly but also feel so intrinsically like a home to the people of God and a place strangers want to call home. The house of God is a place o...

You’ve maybe heard the saying “the local church is the hope of the world” and in this sermon we break down just how important the church is, and how badly our world needs hope. Hope is contagious, it’s powerful, it stirs up communities, families and nations. We need hope more than ever and the local church as a very important part to play in bringing hope to the world. 

Today we begin a three-part series all about God’s beautiful, messy, incredible masterpiece… the Church. At Elim, we believe in the Church—we believe it is the hope of the world, and we have a heart to see every person discover a deep passion for it. The truth is, the Church and its people haven’t always gotten it right. God’s people are not perfect, and within the place where people come to find...

Its a good day and we’ve got good news! Christ is risen, Jesus has won the battle and we all have new life in Christ Jesus. This easter message Ps. Lukas helps the disappointed, the dishearten and those who are still doubting to see the good news is staring all of us right in the face, and its our time to hear, receive and embrace the gospel in our lives!

On the Friday of Holy Week, we sorrowfully remember the sacrifice and love of Christ on the cross. The moment cannot be understated and although we look back with heaviness as the weight of sin stares us right in the face. We remember...It is called “Good Friday” for what Christ has done, is a good and finished work on the cross.

As we approach Easter weekend, we finally see in the scriptures a brief moment where Jesus allows himself to be fully known by all those around Him. He is embracing the worship and praise from many, yet even in what is a glorious day.. there are some who deny Him. At the end of the day, we play a part in making His good news known, because His good news deserves a good faithful praise.

We are kicking off a brand new series all about GOOD NEWS. The gospel, the works of Jesus on the cross for you and me, is such good news, its worth sharing. And YET… it goes deeper! The miracle working power, the good news of change and transformation in our life from Jesus also needs to be shared! We are a good news church in a bad news world and in this series we break down what is the gospel, w...

Love, romance, dating, marriage… everyone’s favourite topic and everyone has their own set of “tips and tricks”  on what a great marriage should look like. But what does God say about marriage? Ps. Lukas breaks down what it looks like to look for love and what a Godly healthy romantic relationship is supposed to look like.

The famous quote “show me your friends and I will show you your future” has never seemed more true. Every person needs good friends, lifting you up, encouraging you as you both run the race of life together with others. But what makes a good friend? What does a Godly healthy friendship look like? In this message Ps. Lukas breaks down who you should want to run the race of life beside in week 3 of...

We all want healthy Godly relationships, but the truth is, without first establishing the most important relationships the others will be challenging. If we can learn what it means to be be in relationship with God, and what that means for our relationships with ourself, THEN the rest of our relationships can fall into place. If you’re feeling like you’re walking through an identity crisis, if you...

Every single one of us is in a relationship. Whether thats friends, family, a boss, our relationship with God or even learning what it means to be in a relationship with ourself. Relationships are the foundation of everyday connection and we all want our lives to be filled with healthy, Godly relationships. As we dive deep into our series, we tackle the overarching concept that when relationships...

As we close our series on freedom we have found ourselves leaning more towards how to stay in step with the Spirit. We recognize that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So we have to lean in and grow in spiritual disciplines if we want to be spiritually growing… the only question that remains is… HOW?! How do we take steps, big and small towards fostering growth with Jesus. Ps. Luk...

To walk in freedom means to walk with and be consistently filled with the Holy Spirit. So let’s get right into it.. how do we practically live and walk with the Holy Spirit? How do we cultivate a relationship with Jesus? At the end of the day, we can try and use all the spiritual hacks, quick fixes, easy devo plans, but the truth is we are called to steward our walk but enjoying the spiritual disc...

In the last three weeks we have talked that God wants us to have freedom from the past wounds, current battles, and from the enemies attack. Yet we know, even though we can experience freedom from many aspects of our life, living daily in freedom takes the right posture and right practices. Freedom isin’t a one time experience but the beautiful journey of sanctification and it takes the proper pos...
