That and many other labels are where so many of us are stuck in our lives. Sunday at Element Church we started a new sermon series called “Labels: Living in our true identity.” In this series we’re going to break free from the labels people give us or the labels we give ourselves and live inside the…
I’ve heard other preachers say this and I’ve said it before as well that if you’re not having fun while you sin then you’re not doing it right! HA! Well, not only is that true, but I learned this week that it is also fun to illustrate sin in a sermon. (Sin IS fun by the way…for a season. Sin might b…
Not only is nothing impossible for God but nothing is even remotely difficult for Him! [Tweet “Not only is nothing impossible for God but nothing is even remotely difficult for Him!”] On Sunday at Element Church we continued our sermon series called “Our Father: Praying Prayers That Matter.” In the…
How much do we honor, revere or fear the name of God? Judging by how we so flippantly throw it around, I think we could at least say we don’t honor it as much as we could! On Sunday at Element Church we started a new series called “Our Father: Praying Prayers That Matter.” In this series we are taki…
That’s how I felt during a season in my life earlier this year in which I talked about on Sunday at Element Church . In this message we talked about how the Bible can read us. We said, “The Bible can’t just be something we read, it has to be something that reads us.” [Tweet “The Bible can’t just be…
No, I’m not talking about your odds of winning the lottery, but your odds in life? On Sunday, we finished our sermon series called “Mythbusters” here at Element Church . Our final myth was “God will never give you more than you can handle.” We said, “If we never faced more than we can handle we woul…
“Shut up” was one of those phrases growing up that we were NOT allowed to say, but how many times have I said that to God? In this message from this past Sunday at Element Church, we talked about the myth that we should “Let our conscience be our God.” We said, “The Word of God, not the way I feel,…
This past Sunday at Element Church we talked about the myth that “Christians shouldn’t judge.” We are in a series called “Mythbusters” and we are looking at 6 common statements many people believe that just aren’t true. In this message, I preached from Matthew 7:1-6 and we said that “Not only can we…
I’m not actually in jail right now. I’m not sure if I would have internet access to write a blog if I were in jail, but that’s a whole other issue. “I’m in jail” is what many people would have to say when talking about the un-forgiveness they hold in their hearts. Un-forgiveness is a prison cell tha…
Will hover-boards be in Heaven? I think they will. Especially after riding one during my sermon this past Sunday at Element Church . This past week, on Easter Sunday, we kicked off a new series called Mythbusters at Element. In this series we are going to look at six myths…six common beliefs in the…
On Sunday at Element Church we did a stand alone message on the Gospel. I asked the question, “What should I know about the Gospel?” I think the Gospel is a word we use all the time in the church but many of us don’t really know what it truly means. In this story of the Samaritan woman at the well,…
Absolutely NOTHING, but I did show a clip from the original Dumb and Dumber movie on Sunday solely as a distraction to get inside this giant hamster ball backstage in order to use as an illustration. On Sunday, we finished up our sermon series called “True Love” by asking the question “What is the g…
