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…

[Tweet “If I only seek God but don’t surrender to His will I’ll be overwhelmed by suffering in this life. “] This past Sunday at Element Church we talked about suffering as we continued our series calle…
This past week, our worship resident, Brielle, wrote a very insightful article on our Element Music Facebook page . She posed a great question about worship and entertainment. Where is the line?
