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.

The King’s Invitation & The Excuses We Make - Joe Baker - King and His Kingdom
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 Parable Of The Good Samaritan - Joey McLaughlin - The King and His Kingdom
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 Treasure of The Kingdom - Joey McLaughlin - The King and His Kingdom
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.

The Mustard Seed Mindset: Small Beginnings, Great Impact, & The Unstoppable Kingdom - Joe Baker
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.

The Parable of The Sower - A King and His Kingdom - Joey McLaughin
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.
