Why are we so afraid of death? Is death the end? This October, join us at Elevate Christian Church as we explore the topic of death, dying, heaven, hell, and what it means for us all anyway.

Compassion boils down to a very simple question: are we loving people like Jesus did? Like Jesus does? Are we including everyone at his table? Or are we still trying to pick and choose who is worthy of compassion, and of his love? Join us as we wrap up our series today with a message from Will.

We've heard the story of Jesus feeding the 4000 time and time again, but why did he do it? Just to show off? Or was it a deeper sign of love and compassion he was displaying for all people?

When two worlds collide, at the intersection, you often find Jesus.

Zacchaeus - an often over-looked player in the New Testament (that is, unless, you're a kid in vacation Bible school who learned the song), but one that can teach us a lot about the compassion of Christ. Those who are scored, pushed aside... even the worst of us... are drawn to Christ and can become one of his.

In the story of "The Woman Caught in Adultery," the title alone implies the villain of the story was the sinful woman... but not so with Jesus. With Jesus, those who will receive the most judgement from God are those who judge others most harshly. The compassion of Jesus often looks like turning a blind eye to sin for the super religious, but his arms are open wide... no matter what we've done.

In Biblical times, folks with leprosy were often ostracized and marginalized, forced to life an isolated life all alone. But Jesus reached out to such people, and calls us to do the same. Maybe you don't know anybody with leprosy, but you know someone who needs that same kind of compassion

When we look at Jesus' compassion, he offered it to those who had been pushed to the edges of society. The crowds who were hurting and oppressed were the people who Christ sought out, and so should be the same with us. Join us as we begin our new series "Heart of the Savior."

Memorial Day is a special holiday set aside for us to remember and consider the brave men and women in the US military who gave their lives defending our country throughout time. In Christianity, there is a 'memorial' we partake in often that serves the same purpose. It goes by many names - The Lord's Supper. The Eucharist. Communion. At Elevate, we take Communion every week. This Memorial Day, let's discuss why we do so.

We wrap up our really, really long series on the armor of God by looking at a warning from scripture: that there are some out there who purposefully and deceptively preach a false Gospel. What are we to do when it comes to keeping our armor ready to go?
