Pastor Tina continues this series talking to us about how we live a life of rhythm and change For everything in life there is a season. God appointed seasons for this time and sees seasons from eternity, from the beginning to the end. We can't move through time like God does. God works on His Kairos time, not the Chronos time we see. Knowing your season really matters. What season does God have you in? Do you allow circumstances to define your season? Seasons don't last forever they always have a beginning and an end. You have to ask yourself: What does God want us to experience in this season?

We are blessed with hearing powerful testimonies from some of our Elevate Life Church Serve Team as they pour out the reasons why they serve God!

Pastor Sergio continues this series talking to us about why the throne of ourselves will never be fulfilling. As long as we're on the throne of our own heart and not the throne of God, we'll never get fulfillment! You have to give your heart to God in order to have a heart for God. Disobedience opens up the door to lack. We can't let excuses keep us from doing what God tells us to do. When we have a Biblical fear of God, we're submitting to His mission. We don't get to chance God's Word because of our past experiences.

Pastor Sergio begins this new series talking to us about how God's Word sets us up to have a heart for God. Sometimes the Word shows us how we actually look and pushes us in the direction to make us better. God is stronger than anything we will ever face! The power of God is released when He is first in our life! When something is the will of God, it doesn't mean it's always going to come true. If you want the will of God in your life, quit thinking it's just going to happen. When something other than God has your heart, you will never have peace!

Pastor Willard continues this series talking to us about how we have to locate where we are at in order for us to possess our promise. He talks to us about how even though we are walking into a season of promise, we still will have to face some battles. God brings us out of slavery to bring us in to our promise land but we have to obey God every step of the way. God has created us for a purpose to do good things! We have to obey God at His command. We have to understand who we are in Christ now and that we are in right standing with God. We have to make sure we don't have a sense of entitlement with God and that He owes us something. We have to protect out heart with gratitude to achieve this! We have to allow God to give us revelation and speak to us. Revelation will cause us to run toward God and carry His fire when He reveals Himself to us! How are you serving God on your own? God doesn't want us to just reach the promise land as individuals, He wants us to reach it with everyone in His Church! In order for us to possess our promise our comfort level must be challenged for us to be fruitful. If we're going through a battle, could it be that's where God wants us to be to go into our promise land? We have to recognize who is in front of us in our life so we can experience freedom in Him. Just Go with God and obey!

Pastor Sergio continues his series talking about how Jesus brought us out of slavery to bring us into our promise! Heaven is not the destination, it's the reward. If we just got saved and go to Heaven, what about the years we are here on the earth? Jesus didn't save us from sin and slavery to leave us in the wilderness! Life isn't just about getting our needs met. When we're not not fulfilled in Him, we turn into a complainer. We can't keep complaining or we'll miss our promise! Complaining takes the vision off of our promise. Comfort cannot fulfil us. There are things that have to happen before we can contend for our next promise. We have to progress from the food of bondage to the food of Revelation. When we get to Revelation, God opens up the windows of Heaven and provides clarity! When we feast on His Word we have to act on His word so we can activate it. Most of what God has us do isn't for us, it's for others.

Happy Easter! Pastor Sergio talks to us about how when we are living in a way that is contrary to God's Word, we are enemies of God. Thankfully, we have all been reconciled through Jesus! God's love is amazing, we can't qualify or earn it, He loves us even when we're doing things contrary to His Word! We can't doubt His Word. There were 7 types of people that showed up to hear Jesus teach in the Bible and doubted, are you one of these 7 types? We have to make sure we live under the Lordship of Jesus. To receive Jesus as our Lord, we have to submit to His Word! We have to be known by our fruits, not by our church attendance! If we're a follower of Jesus, we can tell by how we talk, how we live and where we go. We can't reduce Jesus to just our golden ticket to Heaven. We have to adjust our heart to know the real reason we serve Jesus, is to serve Jesus!

Pastor Sergio tells us about why we cannot remain ignorant in our walk, there are promises He paid for us on the Cross. The Lord brought us out of darkness to bring us into our promises! We've been saved because God has a purpose for our life. Jesus saved us on purpose for His purpose. We have to understand and learn about the unconditional and conditional promises God gives us in the Bible. We can't serve God with transactional thinking! Treating a conditional purpose as an unconditional purpose brings disappointment. We must contend and fight for the promises He has for us!

Pastor Jeremy Gonzalez from Bethel Church in Redding joins us and talks to us about how we have to be careful of the stories we tell ourselves! We are overcomers and conquerors, but we have to be careful of what we are telling ourselves we are in our identities. We cannot live in our past and continue to be stuck in our own fear! We can't continue to tell our story about identifying ourselves by our past traumas, failures and excuses. God wants us to live in the present and follow Him! We have to identify ourselves how He sees us, as His sons and daughters. We can't see ourselves as victims in hiding. We have to die to ourselves so we can live for the first time in our true identity in Christ!

Pastor Sergio continues this series talking with us about lessons learned from the church of Thyatira. The spirit of this text from Jesus is the Father trying to warn His children that if we don't repent and change our ways, this will happen. The Word is what we need! We cannot usurp authority in our lives. When there's lawlessness we will to to church without submission to God and live in immorality. God doesn't accept a mixture of a sinful lifestyle & grace! When we're on the throne of ourselves that's a problem. One reason we struggle in life is part of the judgements of the decisions we are making. We bring these things upon ourselves because of disobedience. We can come as we are into church, but Jesus won't let us let us stay as we are. All Jesus asks is that we serve Him with all our heart. We can't be adulterers with the world and serve him! We cannot have the blessing without the obedience.
