Tune in for weekly messages and content from Elevate City Church. For too long the church has been known for what they’re against. We want to make it explicitly clear who we are for. We are for Jesus. For his glory. For his ways. For his gospel. For his Kingdom. Jesus is who we want to shine the spot light on. Jesus is the story we want to tell. Jesus is the banner we want to raise. At Elevate City, the primary topic of conversation is Jesus: Jesus’ story, Jesus’ character. Jesus’ ways. Jesu ...

Jesus, in Matthew 25, uses this brilliant contextual illustration about sheep and goats to paint the picture of what it is going to be like when He comes back. "You've gotta get this in your bones that the God who became flesh will come back to rule as king, and he will sit on a throne, and he will bring angels with him." Joey McLaughlin In this me…

When Jesus walked this earth, more than he talked about money or peace or faith or politics, He talked about The Kingdom. The Kingdom of God, or the Kingdom of Heaven, or simply, the Kingdom. And when talking about the Kingdom, we have to be reminded that it’s simple enough for a child to understand and enter in, but also complex enough for you to …

The most famous parable is the Good Samaritan. Can you just consider how there is no good reason that this small story, just seven verses told by some irrelevant Jewish rabbi, would show up in secular institutions and on political platforms? We name hospitals after this story. People, some of the most famous painters in the world, would want to pai…

The glory, the worth, the value, the shine, the glimmer, the treasure of the Kingdom is not seen by everyone. It’s covered, it’s buried, people are blind to it, they walk right past it never realizing what they are trampling upon. It’s hidden to them. This is why people can see Jesus without seeing Jesus. Why people can hear the gospel, without hea…

Contrary to popular belief, Jesus didn’t come to establish a political party or create a new religion. Jesus didn’t come to earth to just love people and make their lives better, although he did do that — Jesus came to establish a Kingdom. The Kingdom of God. When Jesus began to speak, He didn’t compare the Kingdom of God to a high mountain, a migh…

Jesus isn't as interested in intellectually checking the boxes and formulating a definition for the Kingdom, As He is in telling stories. Instead of using definitions for the Kingdom, Jesus understood that the kingdom needs to be felt. For you to really understand the kingdom, you need more than nouns, verbs, and adjectives creating subject matter.…

In this message, Pastor Joey preaches about the already, not yet Kingdom of God. One of our big goals for this series has been to try to shatter the understanding that heaven is just a place that we'll go to someday, up in the sky. What we're wanting to do is talk about this idea of the kingdom of heaven or the kingdom of God. Inaugurated eschatolo…

We are in a series of messages talking about what Jesus talked about most, and what Jesus talked about most was the kingdom of God. The kingdom is everything in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John). It's prolific, redundant, explicit, everywhere, every thing the epicenter of the story. More than anything else, this is Jesus' primary topic of co…

What kind of king is Jesus? What kind of king was He expected to be? Throughout Scripture, the Kingdom of God has a lot of different names. At times it is called the Kingdom of Christ, or just the kingdom or the Kingdom of Christ and God, or the kingdom of his beloved son. The gospel writer Matthew refers to it as the Kingdom of heaven, the kingdom…

Many people's conception of the Christian gospel goes something like this... 2000 years ago, a man named Jesus came from heaven to earth. He lived a good life, performs miracles. But then he died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins. And then he was placed in a grave. Three days later, he got up out of that grave and he returned to heaven, wher…
