    How Long Will You Mourn_?: Moving From Ashes to Oil

    This powerful message confronts us with a question we all need to answer: How long will we mourn what God has already rejected? Drawing from 1 Samuel 16:1-7, we encounter Samuel trapped in a season of mourning over King Saul—a king God had already moved on from. The spiritual truth here cuts deep: mourning is biblical and necessary, but it has an expiration date set by God Himself. We often find ourselves grieving not just lost loved ones, but lost positions, rejected dreams, closed doors, and unfulfilled expectations. The danger comes when our mourning becomes more about what we didn't get than about drawing closer to God. Samuel's story reveals that while oil represents our calling and anointing, it's grace that meets us in our mourning seasons. The transformative insight is this: we cannot release the ashes we're still sitting in. Ashes represent what's been burned up in our lives—sometimes good things God had to remove for our benefit. But when we throw those ashes into the air in surrender, they return as oil, a heavenly anointing that transforms us. The mourning process isn't meant to destroy us; it's designed to empty us, clean us, and prepare us like a ram's horn—hollowed out to carry the oil of God's presence. The question pressing on our hearts today is whether we'll stand up from our mourning and grab our horn, ready to move forward into the David season God has prepared, or remain stuck mourning our Saul.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.

    Going to Get My Stuff Back: Recovering All That the Enemy Has Stolen

    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.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.

  3. God Still Moves in Ashes: Power in Your Brokenness

    God Still Moves in Ashes: Power in Your Brokenness

    What if the very thing we're most ashamed of—our failures, our losses, our burnt-down dreams—is actually the raw material God requires to give us our greatest breakthrough? This powerful message explores Isaiah 61:3, where God promises to give us 'beauty for ashes,' revealing that ashes aren't evidence of God's rejection but rather His divine starting point. We discover that in Hebrew, only one letter separates the word for 'ashes' (ether) from the word for 'crown' (afar), suggesting we're closer to victory than we realize. The message challenges our Western tendency to hide our failures, instead inviting us to boldly present our ashes to God—the remnants of broken relationships, failed attempts, repeated sins, and abandoned dreams. Like Moses who threw furnace ashes into the air and watched God weaponize them into a plague against Egypt's oppressors, we learn that our praise in the midst of pain transforms our ashes into weapons of spiritual warfare. God doesn't bless us by what we've lost, but by what we have left, and if all we have left are ashes, that's exactly what He needs to write our next chapter.

  4. Renewed: Stepping Into Your New Season with God

    JAN 25

    Renewed: Stepping Into Your New Season with God

    This powerful message centers on the theme of renewal, drawing from Exodus 34 where God instructs Moses to cut new tablets after the first were broken. The central truth here is profoundly liberating: just because we've broken covenant with God doesn't mean it can't be restored. God doesn't negotiate terms—He dictates them, but His terms are filled with mercy, grace, and second chances. In fact, He's the God of third, fourth, and countless chances. The scripture reveals three specific instructions God gave Moses that apply directly to our lives today: be ready, come up, and present yourself. Being ready means seeking God first thing, making Him our priority before anything else enters our day. Coming up challenges us to leave surface-level faith behind and pursue a deeper relationship with God, changing our position to change our perspective. Finally, presenting ourselves means offering worship—becoming living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God. The most exciting promise comes at the end: God declares He will do wonders never before done in any nation. This isn't just ancient history; it's a present-day invitation. We're stepping into a new season where the renewal happening in one life can spread to all. The covenant God made with us when we first came to Him remains valid today, unchanged and irrevocable. His word will not return void. Whatever He spoke over our lives still stands, waiting to be activated through our obedience and worship.

  5. From Comfortable to Courageous

    JAN 20

    From Comfortable to Courageous

    This powerful message challenges us to examine whether our faith has grown stagnant or is actively expanding to new levels. Drawing from Hebrews 11, we're reminded that faith is the currency of God's kingdom—the essential ingredient not just for salvation, but for experiencing every promise, breakthrough, and miracle God has for us. The message confronts our tendency to settle into comfortable, predictable faith that doesn't interrupt our schedules or challenge our understanding. Yet true faith, as demonstrated by Abraham who obeyed without knowing his destination and Noah who built an ark before rain was even understood, often requires us to step forward when everything looks ridiculous or uncertain. We're invited to shift our perspective on life's challenges—instead of viewing them as obstacles trying to defeat us, we can see them as divine opportunities to strengthen our spiritual muscles. Just as physical muscles atrophy without exercise, our faith diminishes when left unused. The testimonies of Moses seeking God's glory despite already encountering the burning bush, and Paul desiring to know Christ more deeply even after heavenly revelations, remind us that spiritual hunger should never be satisfied with past experiences alone. This isn't about earning God's love through impressive faith; it's about positioning ourselves to experience more of His power and partnering with Him for the next assignment He has prepared for our lives.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.

    I Will Build My Church: The Promises of God

    We stand at a catalytic moment in our church's history, witnessing miracles that should fundamentally change how we understand God's power working among us. At the heart of this message lies Matthew 16, where Jesus takes His disciples to Caesarea Philippi—a place steeped in pagan worship and demonic influence. There, surrounded by carved images of false gods and the very gates of hell itself, Jesus makes one of the most audacious declarations in Scripture: He will build His church, and hell's gates will not prevail against it. This wasn't a defensive statement but an offensive one—Jesus stood on enemy territory and declared victory.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.

    Proximity: From Distraction to Devotion

    This powerful message confronts us with a question we all must answer: are we living distracted or devoted? Through the familiar story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, we're challenged to examine what truly captures our attention. Martha was busy serving, distracted by many things, while Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet—the good portion that would not be taken from her. The invitation is clear: God doesn't want us drifting through life with divided hearts, scrolling through distractions while missing His presence. Instead, we're called to investigate who God truly is, to draw near through Christ our mediator, and to repent—which means changing our minds and turning around from distraction toward devotion.

  8. Joy Happens: Putting on the Garment of Praise

    Joy Happens: Putting on the Garment of Praise

    In the midst of our holiday hustle and bustle, we're invited to discover a profound exchange that God offers us: beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Drawing from Isaiah 61:3, this message unpacks how joy isn't just a feeling that randomly arrives—it's something that happens when we actively participate in worship, even during our darkest seasons. The story of the Magi from Matthew 2 beautifully illustrates this truth: these wise men journeyed far, faced opposition from Herod, and when they finally encountered the Christ child, they fell down in worship. Their worship didn't just change their posture—it redirected their entire journey, leading them to hear God's voice and follow a different path home.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.
