We've been looking at the early church in Acts. This week we see one who thinks he's in charge, but yet it's God's sovereign plans that are ultimately unstoppable. The "why" questions of life arise, but even in the midst - our hope is found in the "WHO" we can turn to and trust. We are the Church today - UNLEASHED and partnering in the ever transforming plans of God that are still alive and active across our city.

God is in the life transformation business! In Acts 9 we encounter Saul (who would become Paul). He had a religion – but he didn’t have a relationship. And religion doesn’t change lives, only a relationship with Jesus does that. So lean in with us as we see… GOD IS BIG ENOUGH TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE […]

When it comes to a life of faith it has to be more than observation and study. A life of faith is about living IN motion WITH God. It's being alert, available, and active in following after his leadership and guidance. We see this lived out in the life of Philip in Acts 8 - as God leads his journey to further unleash the early Church and the movement of Jesus.

The gospel is the world's most significant and unstoppable story. The early followers faced incredible opposition, but God provided the necessary encouragement to "keep the keeping on." The truth is: uncertain conditions will be a part of our spiritual journey following God-but so is God's unexpected encouragement. Watch for it.

The early followers of Jesus lived connected and invested. Giving in such a way to help one another and financially fuel the movement of hope to reach others. They faced a strange scenario that unfolded in Acts 5 that promoted the need for personal integrity. Invested people and people of integrity is our calling.

When faith is advancing, fear is retreating. In Acts 4, the early followers of Jesus faced their first opposition. God had grown their faith to flourish. They prayed for a boldness to continue pointing people toward Jesus through their conduct and conversation. There are some great lessons for our time in this message. *YouVersion Notes […]

The surrounded life – one where you’re around a lot of people, you’re known about, but not really known – is lonely. Friend, you were made for community. The connected life is > the surrounded life. The early church lived with this devoted and authentic relational connection with God and one another – and it […]

As we study the beginnings of things it can lead to patterns and projections. But not so with the Church. It began with a Divine delivery of power. A power that is to fuel your life and the movement of Jesus still today. God is the creator and architect of The Beginning and new beginnings still...

Vision is all about clarity and focus – this week we’re looking at the vision of Elements City Church. Who we are and what we’re called to be and be about. Hear about the 5 G’s that will guide our focus. Know our mission: we’re all about “inviting people into a life-giving and life-changing relationship […]
