Our pursuit of justice, love, and compassion toward each other should always be framed within God’s work of making all things new.

This week on the podcast, Michael and Johnathan talk about how 1 Thessalonians shapes our approach to ministry and what the impossible thing is for Elevate. 

This week we explored the verses we recite as our blessing at the end of each worship service. In it we discovered an impossible calling that is made possible by God.

Emily talks with Pastor Buster Swoopes, Jr. and Carlina Lopez about how we can live out the Gospel in a practical way, by loving others and building community.

Join Pastor Buster Swoopes, Jr. as he reads further into 1 Thessalonains Chapter 5:16 - 5:18 and what it means to live out the Gospel. 

1 Thessalonains 4:13-5:11. Dead or alive, we will be with Jesus. Therefore, encourage one another with these words.

Michael talks with Semu and Candace about the connection between the second coming and loving others.

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12. Jesus' soon return should move us from paralysis to a life of love.
