The big deal

Monday, March 12th, 2007

If you don’t know, now you know.
Here’s the biggest announcement we’ve ever made at Elevation…
Hot off the press.
More details to follow…
Are we pumped?
Heck yes.
Have we lost our minds?
Absolutely.

What are you more afraid of?

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

The high cost of failure or the higher cost of missed opportunity?
The pain of messing up or the deeper pain of missing out?
Making the wrong decision or deciding by not deciding at all?
Falling down or standing still?
Our staff has had to answer these soul searching questions at a whole new level this week.

Hero of the Day… $ edition

Friday, March 9th, 2007

Elevation Church isn’t normal.
You know that right?
Our attendance isn’t normal.

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

50 people gave their lives to Jesus for the first time today at Elevation Church!
The message was about sex.
Genesis 3:7-10 connected the dots between sexuality and salvation.
I’m so proud of all of you who came out of hiding today to receive the forgiveness that only Christ can offer.
We also announced our upcoming move to 3 [...]

Predictable

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

I guess my Saturday blog entries are getting pretty predictable.
I pop in and talk about how excited I am about my sermon on Sunday.
I’m really sorry about that.
Since we’ve got that out of the way, I wanted to tell you how excited I am about my sermon tomorrow.
I only have 3 concerns:
