This week at Element Church we are starting a new sermon series called “Prepare.” When it comes to faith, family or finances most people have some idea of where they’d like to be in the future. We know where we want to end up, but we don’t always do the hard work today to get there. In this series,…
I want this to define my “asks” in 2016. By the way, be very careful how you say that word in quotations. HA! I wrote this blog back in August, but thought as we close out 2015, it would be a good reminder as we start asking God for things in 2016: If God gave us what we asked for would it be wasted…
Hey Element Church ! 2015 has been an incredible year for us and it’s hard to believe we are two days out from closing the books on it!

I saw this real story of St. Nicholas posted from Voice of the Martyrs recently and thought it would be great to share here on the blog. This would be something great to use this week to teach your children about the true origin of St. Nick: Many American children are looking forward to the arrival…

Pastor Andy said, “There’s something about teen’s serving that is extra powerful to me. Oksana has a joy in serving every time. She has bee…
That’s essentially what I’m saying when I only trust what I see instead of trusting what Jesus said ! That was the big idea this past Sunday at Element Church as we continued our sermon series “Jesus is NOT the reason for the season”. Trusting Jesus as provider is not based on what I see it’s based…
I think one of the biggest dangers for our churches today is the temptation to become a museum that highlights the past instead of a mission command that propels us to the future! For the church to become a movement we have to cling to the past without being crippled by it. [Tweet “For the church to…

He’s capable of doing so much and is always willing to lend a hand wherever it’s needed. Having a guy like Joseph on…
That’s what so many people believe about themselves and part of what we talked about last Sunday at Element Church. On Sunday, we launched our new series called “Jesus is NOT the reason for the season.” The reason we say that is because we believe He is so much more than that, Jesus is the reason fo…
One of my new goals is to write book reviews for books that I read and I just finished one while I was on vacation a few weeks ago that was fantastic. The book is called “Steal Like An Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative” by Austin Kleon . To be honest, I hadn’t heard of the book…
