Elevation Point Church

In Matthew 16:21–24, Peter thought he was helping Jesus—trying to protect Him from suffering. But instead of supporting His mission, Peter became a distraction from it. In this message, we explore how even well-meaning people and good intentions can unintentionally pull us off course from God’s calling. Sometimes the most dangerous distractions aren’t evil—they’re just misaligned. Learn how to recognize when love, comfort, or fear are disguising themselves as wisdom, and how to stay focused on what God is really calling you to do.

Have you ever wanted to do the right thing but still found yourself falling short? In Romans 7, Paul reminds us that we’re not alone in that struggle—the battle between our intentions and our actions is real. This message speaks to the tension we all feel and points us to the only one who can rescue us from it: Jesus. Even when we don’t get it right, His grace is still greater.

Life can hit hard—so hard that you wonder if you’ll ever recover, if you’ll ever feel whole again. Maybe you’ve been there, or maybe you’re there right now, questioning everything and barely holding on. This message is a reminder that it’s okay to not be okay, and you don’t have to pretend to have it all together. But with God’s help, you don’t have to stay stuck—healing, hope, and restoration are possible.

When Jesus changes your life, it should be obvious—not just in what you say, but in how you live. This message challenges us to let our transformed lives speak for themselves, showing the world the power of His grace through our actions. True faith isn’t just confessed with words; it’s displayed through a life that looks more and more like Jesus. Let your life be the proof of the change only He can bring.

This Mother’s Day, we’re looking at the powerful yet often overlooked story of Jehosheba in 2 Chronicles 22:10–12—a woman whose quiet courage preserved a royal child and protected a promise. In a time of danger and darkness, her decision to hide Joash may have seemed small, but it was a pivotal piece in God’s larger plan, ultimately preserving the lineage of Jesus. In this message, It All Adds Up, we’re reminded that nothing in our lives is wasted. Every action, every sacrifice, every unseen moment of faithfulness—especially those that feel small or hidden—has purpose. Whether you're a mother, a mentor, or simply someone trying to live faithfully, your role matters more than you know. God is using every detail to build something bigger than we can see.

God often works behind the scenes, preparing us for moments that may seem sudden but are divinely orchestrated. This message challenges us to stay spiritually ready, obedient, and faithful in the waiting so we don’t miss the opportunities He’s preparing. When God's timing arrives, those who have prepared in private will be positioned to walk boldly into His purpose.

Ever felt like life hit you with more problems than you could possibly handle—fires everywhere, and not enough water to put them out? From chaos at home to work stress, car trouble, and family drama, it’s easy to slip into survival mode and try to fight every battle on our own. But the truth is, when we take matters into our own hands, we often end up out of position and making things worse. In this message, we’re learning how surrendering the fight to God opens our eyes—not just to one solution, but to everything we need to face what’s ahead.

Easter reminds us that even those closest to Jesus wrestled with doubt. The disciples heard His promises, yet it wasn’t until they saw the empty tomb—and the risen Jesus—that belief fully took root. In this message, we explore the tension between faith and sight, and how Jesus meets us in our moments of uncertainty, just as He did with His followers. Resurrection isn’t just a story—it’s an invitation to believe His promises, even before we see.

We are often looking for direction, resources, opportunities, fulfillment, and more in our lives. We wonder how it will happen, when it will happen, and where it will happen. But the Lord always has a plan. He always has everything perfectly laid out, even to the most finite detail. Once He speaks something, we can know that it will happen as we follow each and every instruction along the way. While it may not always appear so, as we follow, we find that everything was just as He said it would be.

No matter how heavy the burden you’re carrying, Jesus wants you to know that rest isn’t just possible—it’s available. Rest isn’t something you have to earn or achieve; it’s freely offered by Jesus. Life is constantly moving, filled with responsibilities, worries, and an endless to-do list—work, relationships, parenting, friendships, church, fitness, travel—the demands never stop. We often get caught up in the cycle of doing more, believing that stress equates to holiness. But the truth is, stress does not make us more righteous. The more we push ourselves to handle everything alone, the further we drift from the life Jesus intended for us. Religion may tell us that our worth is measured by how much we do, but Jesus never did. Instead, He extends an invitation: when the weight of life feels overwhelming, take it easy—hand it over to Him.
