The seriousness of judgment and the solace of grace is both sobering and soothing at the same time. Yesterday, as I was reading Scripture and spending time with God, I was stopped by one verse in the book of Numbers. Let’s be honest; Numbers can be a place where we often find ourselves skimming to g…

Full trip details HERE . The marker pictured here is in a cave below the Church of the Nativity in Be…
Every obstacle in life is an opportunity. What if we viewed life that way? Now, I’ll admit. I have a long way to go in being really good at this. But I do believe that every obstacle in life is an opportunity. The first opportunity we have is an opportunity to grow. In fact, there is no growth witho…
Hey Element Church ! In the message I shared with you on Sunday, I challenged us to do four things in this time of uncertainty. We can’t control the government. We can’t control the testing. We can’t control the school district. We definitely can’t control this virus. Here are four things we can con…
Each year about this time I get nostalgic. On Sunday, October 7th (2007), Element Church officially held our first public service for the community in the movie theater in the mall. At that time, we had a group of 30 – 40 committed people, including kids, that were giving of themselves to make this…
What is the most misused verse in the Bible and why is it so dangerous? Disclaimer: I’m not saying that everyone does this, I’m just saying it’s easy to do. I’ve recently been reading the book of Jeremiah for my time in God’s Word, and I came across what I believe to be one of the most misused, or a…

Today is the last day to sign up for baptisms at Element Church for Sunday, November 4th. This past Sunday we saw 18 people go public with their faith in Christ through baptism. Baptism is the outward expression of the inward work that God has done in our hearts. When we go down in the water it symb…
This past Sunday at Element Church we finished up a sermon series called “Fences: Living beyond the boundaries.” In the series, we’ve been talking about what it looks like to live beyond, even tear down some fences we have created in life which keep us from living in the wide-open expanse of life th…
We don’t often think of God being powerful IN our problems. Oftentimes, when our problems won’t seem to go away, we wonder where God’s power is, right? How many times have you prayed for something, believing that God would do it…but He didn’t? How many times have you asked God to move in a mighty wa…
I’ll never forget waking up on the first day I was in Israel in the summer of 2017, stepping out of my hotel room and looking over the Sea of Galilee. I made a fresh cup of coffee, took my Bible down to the edge of the water, and read the story of Jesus walking on the water during a storm. Later tha…
