Blink

Time flies when you’re having fun. And time flies when you’re planting a church. We have officially been in Loveland, Colorado, for seven months and we’ve been having weekly services for the past three weeks. Since we’ve gone to weekly services, time seems to have sped up. It seems everything is happening in the blink of an eye. One blink and we are starting weekly services. Another and we are done with our first sermon series. What?! Yes, we just finished our first sermon series called Relationship Rehab. We wanted to honor the month of love and do a series out of Ephesians that deals with relationships between husband and wife, parents and kids, employee and employer. A couple weeks ago at our service, a couple had tears in their eyes as they listened to the sermon on the relationship between a husband and wife. After the service, they came up to our pastor and said, “That is exactly what we needed.” Hearing this kind of response really excites me! I want to tell the whole city of Loveland about Elevation Church, but more than that, to tell them about the things Jesus can do and is doing. Most people in Loveland still don’t know Elevation exists, but God is already changing hearts.

Prayer requests:

Spiritual warfare: In our area, several churches have closed their doors and a few are on the verge of collapsing. We knew walking into this journey that there would be spiritual warfare, but we need your prayers now that we’re in it, for both us and other spiritual leaders in our area.

Our next sermon series is called, “I Am: Jesus According to Jesus.” It will be a study of Jesus’ “I am” statements. Pray that He will be exalted!

For boldness, all the time!
