Sabbath: More than a Jewish practice (New Sermon Series)

On Sunday at @elementchurch.life we are going to be starting a brand new sermon series called “Sabbath: More than a Jewish practice.” What is the Sabbath and why is it important? For so many people, the Sabbath is thought of as an outdated practice or something only Jewish people do. Or as Christian…

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop!

Here is a Declaration of Truth I say over my life: No matter what happens to me, or who goes with me, I can’t stop and I won’t stop following Jesus. Truth statements have become one of the key spiritual disciplines which help me replace the lies of the enemy with the Truth of God’s Word. Every one o…

Are You Drifting?

Psalm 141:3-4 Take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips. Don’t let me DRIFT toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don’t let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong.⁠ ⁠ Don’t let me drift toward evil. What a great prayer. ⁠ ⁠ Isn’t that how it usually is? Very rarely do…

I Won’t Question God

Here is a Declaration of Truth I say over my life. Truth statements have become one of the key spiritual disciplines which help me replace the lies of the enemy with the Truth of God’s Word. Every one of my declarations is rooted in Scripture: Truth = I won’t question God! Notice, I didn’t say I won…

Jesus Ate With Pharisees Too

Jesus ate with Pharisees too! I think we need to be careful in the Church that we don’t focus so much on the sinner that we forget the Pharisee. Yes, Jesus came to “seek and to save the lost.” Yes, Jesus said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor, sick people do.” But the Pharisees in Jesus’ day were…

How Much Do I Need God?

I need God as much today as I do in the midst of or potential of tragedy! It’s so easy to be desperate for God on our bad days or in times of trouble but kind of forget about Him when things are going well. You can’t read the stories in Scripture and see this, especially in the Old Testament. Time a…

New Sermon Series: Why I Struggle To Believe In God!

This Sunday at Element Church we will be starting a brand new sermon series called, “Why I struggle to believe in God: Because sometimes it’s really, really hard.” There are many reasons not to believe in God. Even as Christians, it is often hard to reconcile certain realities of life or faith with…

Declaration Of Truth: I will just be me!

Declaration of Truth: I will be myself! I will just be me! Do you ever struggle with comparison? That’s kind of like asking, “Are you human?”, right? If you’re breathing you’ve probably struggled with comparison at some point. Especially in this social media age in which we live. Even as a pastor, I…

Not Every Problem Is Persecution

Not every problem is persecution! I think we need to remember that, especially as American/Western Christians. I don’t know what it is about this day and age but we are all, Christian or not, so quick to jump to the extreme in how we believe we are being treated. Every problem we face or policy we d…
