We finished our discussion on learning to pray using Jesus’ model prayer (Matthew 6.9-13) as our guide last night.  This week, we focused on verses 11-13.  As we pray in the manner Jesus teaches us, beginning with worship and focusing on God and His will, it forms the rest of our prayers. Give us today [...]

As we began this discussion, we created two images: 1. Imagine walking [...]

Tonight at Elevation, our focus was very simple.  After we spent some time talking about our summer mission trip, and then worshiped together, we watched this video: Lonely People. . There are hopeless, helpless, hurting people all around us.  People who need Jesus to meet their needs.  Like the friends in Mark 2.1-12, it’s our [...]
