Elevate City Church

What if the vision for your life was to be a person of prayer? Before God does a great work, He always sets His people praying. And in this great work that we believe God has called us to, we have to become a people of prayer.

It’s Vision Sunday. We are imagining the future, believing for the impossible, hearing the dream, looking out towards where we are headed.Where we are headed is: Igniting a multiplying Great Commission Movement to change the world.

Vision is what could be or should be in light of what currently is.

We know people who have vision, an entrepreneur, an artist, a sculptor…a painter doesn’t see a blank canvas, they see a masterpiece, a sculptor doesn’t see a block of marble, they see a statue, a designer doesn’t just see a room, behind walls of sheetrock they see an open concept with worlds of possibility.

Visionaries see what could be, what should be in light of what currently is.

Tune into this message today to receive a vision for the next 10 years of your life that will matter in light of eternity.

Matthew 28:16-20

16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Have you ever wondered why you should or need to go to church?

Sometimes we need other people in our lives to tell us to stop sleepwalking and to wake up.

Because if we’re honest, it can be easy to find ourselves lulled to sleep in this thing called life.

It’s easy to get caught up in the currents of culture and get stuck in the streams of striving, and let busyness and distraction rule our lives and it doesn’t take long before we find ourselves spiritually lethargic and falling asleep on faith.

But God has created the church, to be the very place where we as the people of God gather together to wake each other up from our spiritual slumber and to step into the purposes that God has for our lives.

Today is all about: Awakening to the Gathering: Why you need to Stop Sleepin’ on Church.

Hebrews 10:19-25

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Listen, life tends to lull us to sleep, we get stuck on auto pilot, caught in the current, we become spiritually lethargic. And I’m guilty of it too. In the busyness and inertia of life we start sleepwalking. We fall asleep on what matters most. We fall asleep on faith, fall asleep on eternity, fall asleep on God. We loose the fire.

At Elevate City, it’s awakening or bust. It’s something supernatural and unexplainable in our generation or let’s just take our ball and go home. We refuse to coast. We don’t want to sleepwalk through life. We want to push back against the spiritual zombie apocalypse that has come over the church today. We’ve got a dying world, we can’t have a sleepy church!

In Acts 2 we see like the OG Awakening. Pentecost. The birth of the church. The first post resurrection revival. The awakening that all other awakenings follow.

Tune into this powerful message from Pastor Joey on awakening to the presence, power, and promises of God.

Acts 2:1-4

When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

We need to awaken to the life that God has created us for. It can become so easy to find ourselves falling into cultural, conventional, and comfortable religion, but Jesus is inviting us to awaken to new life.

Are you bored with your faith? Then God is too.

Tune in to this message today from Pastor Joey to hear about what it looks like to awaken to the life that Jesus has created you for.

John 3:1-16

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

9 Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Do you know the great God of Awakening? In this powerful message, Pastor Joey encourages us to see the greatness and glory of our God and how when we wake up to His greatness we will experience awakening.

Isaiah 6:1-8

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” 4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” 8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”

We need awakening because people get sleepy. It’s part of the story. Sin, the enemy, the world, time…lulls us to sleep. We get complacent. We doze off. Become exhausted. Get distracted.

Culture has a way of sedating us, using anesthesia on us. This happens all throughout the biblical narrative, Adam & Eve, People in the days of Noah, the entire Old Testament narrative, John the baptist in prison, the disciples with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, the Ephesian church…we get spiritually sleepy. We fall asleep on spiritual things, spiritual life, the other realm. We treat the spiritual realm like it's the dream world and the physical world like it's the real world and we fail to see what is truly reality - the Kingdom of God.

So Paul writes…

Ephesians 5:15-17

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Don't miss this powerful message from Pastor Joey on why we need an AWAKENING.

What do you Pray when you find yourself in prison?

Would you like to grow in your rhythm and practice of prayer? Would you like to experience power and breakthrough in your prayers?

Well if so, tune into this message from Pastor Mike Reinsel on one of the Apostle Paul's prayers that teaches us how to grow as people of prayer.

Ephesians 3:14-21

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

We’ve all heard the phrase: practice what you preach.

Today, we want to advocate for you to practice what you pray.

We don’t just want to pray prayers with our lips, we want to pray prayers with our lives.

We want our walk to back up our talk.

Because the reality is that if we’re truly gonna build a house of prayer, we’ve got to be a people who practice what we pray.

And the kind of prayer that we’re looking at today is a prayer that’s potentially the most difficult kind of prayer to put into practice but definitely the most powerful.

In this message we're going to study one of the Apostle Paul's prayers from the book of Philemon and discover how un-forgiveness can build barriers in our prayers but forgiveness can bring breakthrough.

Philemon 4-7

4 I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, 5 because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints, 6 and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ. 7 For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.
