    An Act of Healing Doesn’t Mean You Act Healed | Chris Carmona | Elan Church

    What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because God hasn’t moved—but because healing doesn’t happen the way we expect? In this message, we explore a powerful truth: an act of healing doesn’t leave you acting healed. A moment with God is real—but it must be stewarded. So often, we want God’s results our way. We want quick fixes, surface solutions, or healing in the context we prefer. But Scripture shows us something different. Real healing is deeper. It’s paradoxical. It reshapes us from the inside out. Jesus meets us at the “wrong wells” in our lives—not just to fix the practical problem, but to heal the soul beneath it. And God, in His wisdom, has given us specific contexts where healing takes root: alone in His presence, in His Word, in authentic community, and in the calling He’s placed on our lives. We don’t choose the terms—but we do get to choose whether we trust Him enough to follow. If you’ve ever felt triggered, frustrated, confused, or weary… if you’ve had moments with God but wondered why nothing seems different afterward… this message is for you. There is hope. There is growth. And there is a better way forward. Want to find out more about Elan Church? Check out www.elan.church

    Carry the Spirit (Acts 2:1-13) | Max Lyons | Elan Church

    Vision gives direction—but it’s the Holy Spirit who gives power. In this message, Pastor Max builds on Vision Sunday by helping us understand how God’s vision is actually carried forward—not by human strength, but by the Spirit of God at work in His people. We revisit Elan Church’s unchanging values—Holy Spirit-led, Bible-immersed, wise stewardship, and authentic faith—while unpacking what it truly means to move from simply identifying as a Christian to becoming a wholehearted disciple of Jesus. Through the stories of Elijah and Elisha, Pentecost in Acts, and the birth of the early Church, we see a powerful pattern: Jesus doesn’t just give vision—He pours out His Spirit so ordinary people can carry it. This message is an invitation to stop spectating, pick up the mantle, and live empowered by the Holy Spirit—both personally and as part of God’s Church on the earth.

    Pick Up The Mantle | Max Lyons | Elan Church

    Vision shapes where we’re going—and without it, we drift. In this Vision Sunday message, Pastor Max shares the heart, direction, and long-term vision God has given Elan Church. Four years in, we pause to celebrate what God has done—but more importantly, we lean in to where He’s calling us next. Through the story of Elijah and Elisha, we see that God’s vision is never received casually. It requires surrender, faithfulness, and a willingness to pick up the mantle and carry it forward. Vision doesn’t just inspire—it forms disciples and empowers the next generation. This message isn’t only about the future of Elan Church—it’s about God’s vision for your life and how He moves His purposes forward through ordinary people who say yes.

    Don’t Let Your Hearts Be Troubled | Dan Watson | Elan Church

    In this encouraging sermon, Pastor Dan Watson reminds that Jesus is the answer to every troubled heart. Preaching from John 14, he emphasizes Jesus’ words: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” When we’re overwhelmed, uncertain, or restless, Jesus doesn’t offer directions or philosophy—He offers Himself. Dan breaks down three key truths: Jesus is the way (a relationship, not a route), the truth (unchanging and trustworthy), and the life (our source of real purpose and spiritual vitality). The message challenges listeners to stop settling for passivity or partial faith and instead fully trust in the person of Jesus—especially when life feels uncertain.

    When God Finds a Home | Audrey Carmona | Elan Church

    In this guest message, Pastor Audrey Carmona brings a stirring word for anyone who’s hungry for more of God—not just in moments, but in a life and church where His presence truly dwells. Starting in 1 Kings 10, she unpacks how the Queen of Sheba wasn’t won over by a sermon—she was undone by a culture: surrender, worship, excellence, unity, and the tangible presence of God. From there, she moves to Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:12 and calls the church to a holy, urgent pursuit of the Kingdom—not passive observation, but pressing in with repentance, obedience, and devotion. This message is a wake-up call to trade hype for hunger, comfort for conviction, and curiosity for commitment. Because the Kingdom advances through surrendered lives—and when God finds a home, He takes up real space. If you’re ready to refuse spiritual passivity and become a dwelling worth visiting, this one is for you. Want to find out more about Elan Church? Check out www.elan.church

    You Can't Follow Jesus Alone (Luke 10:1-9, 17-20) | Max Lyons | Elan Church

    In this message, Pastor Max challenges a deeply individualistic view of faith and reminds us that Christianity was never meant to be lived in isolation. Following Jesus isn’t simply about attending a service—it’s about becoming a disciple, and discipleship always happens in community. Using Luke 10, Acts 2, and the model of the early church, this message unpacks the difference between church attenders and committed disciples, why Jesus sent people out two by two, and why biblical community is not optional—it’s essential. From resisting ‘cultural Christianity’ to building a church with spiritual weight, we’re reminded that Jesus isn’t trying to draw crowds—He’s forming disciples. Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for years or are just beginning your journey, this message will challenge you to move from consuming to committing—and to tether your life to Jesus and others so you can faithfully follow Jesus all the days of your life.

    Prayer & Fasting The Way God Intended | Juliet Lyons | Elan Church

    In this message, Pastor Juliet unpacks what fasting and prayer are meant to be—not a religious routine, but a God-designed pathway to real spiritual transformation. Through Matthew 6 and Isaiah 58, she walks through the why behind spiritual disciplines: lasting change requires a compelling purpose, and spiritual momentum is built through consistent, faithful obedience over time. You’ll also hear a clear framework for prayer that follows Jesus’ model—moving beyond self-focused requests into kingdom-centered, Spirit-led partnership with God. Whether you’re new to fasting, returning to it, or feeling stuck in your prayer life, this teaching will help you reset your perspective, strengthen your “why,” and step into a deeper, more fruitful life with Jesus.

    Marked by Christmas (Christmas Eve at Elan Church 2025) | Juliet Lyons | Elan Church

    Why did Jesus come the way He did? Why a manger, why swaddling cloth, and why flesh? In this powerful Christmas sermon, we’re reminded that Jesus—our spotless Lamb—was born not just to be seen, but to be known. Through His incarnation, we are given the chance to: 1 Experience true love 2 Endure deep suffering 3 Hold on to infallible hope This message explores the miracle of John 1:14—“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us”—and challenges us to live lives marked by love, endurance, and hope. Not sentiment, but transformation. Want to find out more about Elan Church? Check out www.elan.church
