Today’s message is truly out of this world, brought to us by Elevate Elder Todd Hindmon. Embracing all things "geeky," Todd draws inspiration from Star Trek—specifically the iconic idea: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few—or the one." His own prime directive is to show us how we can model our lives after Jesus Christ, who came to earth not to be served, but to serve all of humanity.

Todd takes us on a "Trek" through the pages of Scripture, referencing how Jesus laid down His life for us and how, like the Good Shepherd, He leaves the ninety-nine to rescue the one. It’s a message of sacrificial love, service, and the value of every individual soul.

We’re so excited to welcome guest speaker Tim Smith to Elevate Christian Church today! Tim will be sharing a powerful message as we walk through Luke chapters 18 and 19 together, looking at the stories of the rich young ruler and Zacchaeus the tax collector. He’ll help us see the striking difference in how each man responds when they meet Jesus. Every day, we all have a choice to make—will we follow the world’s way, or God’s way? Today, we’re invited to choose change and follow Jesus!

On this Easter Sunday, we rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Lead Pastor Kevin Barton shares a powerful message about having a personal relationship with our living Savior—One who has risen from the grave.

Pastor Kevin takes us through John chapter 20, where we witness Mary Magdalene searching for Jesus’ body but encounters two angels instead. Weeping for her savior she doesn't see Him until Jesus speaks her name. Are you seeking the Risen Savior like Mary? Call to Him today and claim the salvation He died for you to have.

Today, our lead pastor, Kevin Barton, shares a deeply personal and powerful story from his own life, illustrating that no depth is too great for God to rescue us from the grip of depression. Kevin draws from Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians, urging us to “take every thought captive” as we navigate this challenging emotion. He also presents three key points to remind us of God’s active presence in our lives. Far from being an absent father, God loves us unconditionally and will never forsake us.

Today, Kevin Barton delves into the powerful story of the woman with the alabaster perfume in Luke 7, who washed the feet of Jesus in an extraordinary act of devotion. We explore the Greek word Proskuneo, which encapsulates the deep, personal worship she offered to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Through her actions, she vividly demonstrates a profound truth: those who are forgiven little, love little; but those who are forgiven much, love much.

Today, Lead Pastor Kevin Barton takes us through Genesis 32, where Jacob wrestles with God, an encounter that changes his name to Israel and leaves him with a symbolic limp.

We also explore Paul’s story, once Saul, who pleaded for God to remove his thorn in the flesh. God’s response in 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) remains timeless: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Both stories remind us that our struggles and weaknesses are places where God’s grace can transform us. Let us surrender our sins to Him, allowing His grace to work within us, bringing true healing and renewal.

Today's message, delivered by our Lead Preacher Kevin Baton, explores the transformative power of God's grace. Kevin illustrates how God has the ability to turn the bitterness accumulated through years of hardship, pain, and sorrow into a profound sweetness. He challenges us to rise above the limitations of our discontented spirit, urging us to shift our perspective when we lose sight of the bigger picture. Kevin calls us to celebrate God's abundant blessings and reflect on His enduring faithfulness in our lives, reminding us to find joy in His provisions and take solace in what He has accomplished for us.

Welcome to the Elevate Christian Church service for March 16th, 2025. Our Lead Preacher, Kevin Barton, continues to have us reflect on where we are storing our treasures. In todays message, Kevin teaches on the principle of the First Fruits and Bringing those back to God

In his message today, our Lead Preacher, Kevin Barton, challenges us to reflect on where we are storing our treasures. Drawing from the teachings of Jesus, he reminds us of the dangers of materialism and the importance of prioritizing our devotion to God over the pursuit of wealth.

In today's sermon our Lead Preacher Kevin Barton tackles the subject of Doubt. Is normal to doubt God? How do I trust in Him and what should I do if I find myself in a season of doubt.
