    Experience the Overflow of God's Power

    What does it look like when God's power is fully unleashed in our lives, and what stands in the way of experiencing it? Drawing from the dramatic confrontation on Mount Carmel in 1 Kings 18, we explore the moment when Elijah faced 450 prophets of Baal and called down fire from heaven, a fire so consuming it burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, the dust, and even licked up the water in the trench. This was not a close contest. It was a declaration that the one true God cannot be bottlenecked by false systems, corrupt leadership, or competing voices. The central question Elijah posed to the crowd still echoes today: how long will we waver between two positions? That question is not just historical. It is deeply personal. We are invited to examine whether compromise has quietly crept into our faith, whether corruption has dulled our spiritual sensitivity, and whether confusion has replaced the clarity and peace that comes from keeping our minds fixed on God. The fire that fell on Mount Carmel is the same fire that fell on the Day of Pentecost, and it is the same overflow of God's power available to us right now. Elevation Church exists to move people on their spiritual journey to Relationship with God, Release from cycles of defeat and bondage, Redemption of purpose and Revival making a difference in the world. We believe in a dream  of a home where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, and the confused can find God’s love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness and guidance.

    Are You Living in Overflow or Just Surviving?

    What does it truly mean to live with overflow? Not just in our finances, but in every dimension of our lives? This message takes us deep into the story of Elijah and Obadiah in 1 Kings 18, where we discover that even in the middle of a severe famine, one man found a way to be generous. Obadiah hid and fed a hundred prophets at the risk of his own life, and in doing so, demonstrated a principle that cuts against every instinct we have toward self-preservation. The spiritual lesson here is striking: overflow does not begin when we have hoarded enough for ourselves. It begins the moment we open our hands. We are challenged to ask ourselves a penetrating question, one worth sitting with this week: who are we investing in right now? Who has access to what we carry? The generosity of God is on full display in this passage, and we are invited to mirror that generosity in our own lives, trusting that what we release will return to us in ways we cannot calculate or foresee. Elevation Church exists to move people on their spiritual journey to Relationship with God, Release from cycles of defeat and bondage, Redemption of purpose and Revival making a difference in the world. We believe in a dream  of a home where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, and the confused can find God’s love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness and guidance. NEXT STEPS At Elevation, we believe everyone has a next step to take. Whether that means growing in faith, finding community, or stepping into your purpose, we are committed to walking alongside you.

    Are You Preventing Your Overflow?

    What does it look like to live in a place of genuine overflow when everything around us seems to be running dry? Drawing from the powerful account in 1 Kings 17, we explore the story of a widow who had exhausted her resources, buried her hope, and spoken the language of defeat — only to discover that God had something far greater in store. The central lesson here is striking: our past experiences of loss and our present circumstances of lack do not have to define or forecast our future. Just as the widow's flour and oil never ran dry despite a famine, God's supply is never exhausted. We are challenged to examine the areas of our lives where we have allowed the weight of yesterday's pain or today's struggle to silence the promises of God. The story does not shy away from the tension we all feel — the moments when we blame, doubt, and speak words filled with fear rather than faith. Yet it is precisely in those moments that the invitation to overflow becomes most relevant. If we are willing to shift our focus from our limitations to God's promises, we may find that the very trials we are walking through are not our destination but the path to something greater. Elevation Church exists to move people on their spiritual journey to Relationship with God, Release from cycles of defeat and bondage, Redemption of purpose and Revival making a difference in the world.

    Are You Being Obedient?

    What does it look like to live in true overflow rather than constantly scraping by? Drawing from the dramatic story in 1 Kings 17, we explore the journey of Elijah and a desperate widow who was literally preparing for her last meal. When a dried brook and an empty pantry seem like the end of the road, God has a different plan entirely. The central message is both simple and profound: our God is not a God of scarcity. He is a God of more than enough. The widow's jar of oil and bin of flour never ran dry, not because of her circumstances, but because she acted on an instruction that made no earthly sense. This story challenges us to examine where we place our trust when life looks impossible, and to recognize that the drying up of one season is never the final word on our story. Elevation Church exists to move people on their spiritual journey to Relationship with God, Release from cycles of defeat and bondage, Redemption of purpose and Revival making a difference in the world. We believe in a dream  of a home where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, and the confused can find God’s love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness and guidance.

    Is God Your Source?

    What does it look like when the very thing sustaining us suddenly runs dry? In 1 Kings 17, we find the prophet Elijah positioned beside a brook that God himself provided, fed by ravens and refreshed by flowing water. It was miraculous provision, until the day it was not. The brook dried up, and that moment of apparent loss becomes one of the most instructive passages in all of Scripture. This message walks us through the reality that dried brooks are not signs of divine abandonment but are often the very mechanism God uses to redirect us toward something greater. We explore four honest and grounding truths: that dried brooks are real and we should not pretend otherwise, that change is inevitable in every season of life, that God is always the source and never merely the resource, and that a dried brook is not an ending but a signal pointing us toward a new chapter. The journey from lack to overflow begins not with denial but with honest acknowledgment of where we are standing right now.

    Getting My Stuff Back

    This powerful message centers on the story of David in 1 Samuel 30, where he returns to Ziklag to find everything burned and his family kidnapped by the Amalekites. The central theme is spiritual recovery—taking back everything the enemy has stolen from our lives. We learn that while our primary calling is to pursue God with all our hearts, there are seasons when God calls us to pursue our spiritual enemy and reclaim what has been taken. The sermon emphasizes that we are in a real spiritual war against a thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. However, Proverbs 6:31 reveals a powerful truth: when a thief is found, he must restore sevenfold what he stole. This isn't just about getting back what was lost—it's about receiving abundant restoration. The message challenges us to move from weeping to warfare, from sitting in defeat to standing in authority. David didn't just mourn; he inquired of the Lord, pursued the enemy, and recovered everything—not one thing was missing. This teaches us that complete restoration is possible when we combine divine direction with determined action. The call is clear: stop talking about what the devil took and start taking it back through the authority we have in Christ.

    The Ever Present War | The Vault | Elevation Indy

    As Pastor Tony takes a well-deserved sabbatical this summer, we’re introducing The Vault—a collection of powerful messages that have impacted lives and continue to speak to where we are today. Over the next several weeks, we’ll be revisiting some of Pastor Tony’s most memorable teachings through short-form videos, social media posts, and message highlights. These aren’t just old messages—they’re timeless truths that still encourage, challenge, and inspire. While Pastor Tony takes time to rest, recharge, and spend time with his family, The Vault gives us an opportunity to stay connected to his teaching and continue growing together as a church family. Some messages are simply worth hearing again. Welcome to The Vault We live in the midst of an ever-present spiritual war that many of us don't even recognize is happening. Just as the Cold War shaped a generation without constant visible combat, spiritual warfare surrounds us daily—often unnoticed as we go about our routines. The message from Ephesians 6 reminds us that our struggle isn't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of darkness. This truth fundamentally changes how we approach conflict in our lives. When we face difficulties in our marriages, families, or workplaces, we must remember that people aren't our enemy—the devil is. This understanding calls us to love people while discerning the spiritual forces at work behind their actions. We're equipped with powerful tools for this battle: the name of Jesus, which causes demons to submit; the blood of Jesus, which provides overcoming power; our testimony of what Christ has done; and the Word of God as our weapon. The path to victory requires three essential responses: submitting to God's will even when uncomfortable, shutting the doors we've left open through unforgiveness and bitterness, and standing up to the enemy with confidence that greater is He who is in us. We don't need to be paralyzed by fear or obsessed with demonic activity—we simply need to walk in the authority we've been given through Christ, knowing that the devil is limited while our God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient.

    The Fathers Heart for You

    What does it really mean to be loved by God -- not just as a concept we learned in Sunday school, but as a living, breathing reality that shapes how we see ourselves and how we move through the world? Drawing from the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, we are invited to see the father's response to his returning son not simply as a heartwarming story, but as a vivid portrait of God's own heart toward us. The father's sprint toward his son, the robe, the ring, the sandals, the fatted calf -- each of these details carries profound meaning. The robe covers every mistake and every stain. The ring restores identity and authority. The sandals declare that we are not servants but sons and daughters. And the celebration announces to everyone watching that our return is not a shameful thing but a glorious one. The message is clear: God is not merely tolerating us. He is running toward us, arms wide open, ready to lavish us with a love that is relational, sacrificial, extravagant, and eternal. If we have ever allowed a broken relationship with an earthly father to distort our picture of who God is, this parable offers us a chance to see clearly again. Elevation Church exists to move people on their spiritual journey to Relationship with God, Release from cycles of defeat and bondage, Redemption of purpose and Revival making a difference in the world. We believe in a dream of a home where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, and the confused can find God’s love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness and guidance.
