Pastor Sergio wraps up this series talking to us about the gift of church. We cannot associate with Jesus without associating with the church. If you love Jesus, you love His church. Jesus gathered 'the elected' for his church, the ones who gave their lives to Him. When Jesus wants to move, He does it in the church. Satan hates church, he tries to infiltrate and keep us away. The reason why church is important is because it is always about community. The greatest test if you love God is, can you...

Merry Christmas from Elevate Life Church Sacramento! Pastor Sergio continues his 'The Gift of God' series talking to us about how we can't allow ourselves to do like the world does and not give Jesus the 'room' He has to have in our lives in order for it to get better. Much like the innkeeper in the story of Jesus' birth that said there was no room at the inn and made Mary and Joseph stay in the 'barn' as Jesus was born, too often we push Jesus away in our lives and put Him in our own barn. We c...

Pastor Sergio continues his 'The Gift Of God' series by talking to us about how if we want the new life God has promised for us, we have to lay down our old life. There's more to the Gospel than just believing Jesus died on the cross for our sins. We can't deceive ourselves thinking we obey God because we go to church every Sunday. What opens the doors to the devil's darkness is disobedience to God's Word. The Gospel will set us free so we can serve God's will.

Pastor Sergio begins his new series 'The Gift Of God' teaching us about what exactly a gospel is and giving the definition of Jesus' Gospel. If you only know Jesus as Savior, you don't know the Gospel. You have to know and learn the benefits of His Gospel. When you get saved, everything must change. If you don't submit and allow Jesus to be the ruler of your life, he isn't your Savior and you don't get the results that happen when you're in His Kingdom. Jesus is King and the rightful ruler to ev...

Pastor Sergio concludes his Spread The Ops series as he talks about the spirit of Jezebel. The Jezebel spirit is driven by sexual appetites, control, idolatry, unrepentant sin, causes fear and loves to be seen. It is a spirit that attacks Godly authorities. We have to repent of whatever we are under in this spirit. God can only deliver His grace with our repentance. We must make sure we are not playing games with God and to not get caught within the grasp of this spirit.

When we take this bait, we want revenge. We have to draw boundaries with people who gossip, 'quit drinking the tea' and stop the gossip that leads to offense and hurt.

Pastor Sergio continues his 'Spread The Ops' series and talks to us about why division is a serious crime against God. Dividers are not serving Jesus. Division cannot be a part of our lives, we have to walk in love and forgiveness. The Kingdom of God operates in multiplication, not division. We have to keep drama to ourselves and be a peace maker, not a peace keeper. God's grace empowers us to do what we don't want to do.

When we aren't united, the blessings stop. We cannot call ourselves Christians if we are a causer of division. We have to bring unity in everything we do. Unity makes the impossible, possible!

Pastor Sergio begins this new series talking to us about how we have to be uniters and not dividers. We have to be obedient to what God is teaching us about His Kingdom for us to see what the true oppositions are in our lives. The biggest tool Satan uses against us in our lives is the spirit of division. If we don't expose the darkness in our lives we will continue to operate in that spirit of darkness. Dividers don't work for God, they work for Satan. The enemy wants to come after our relations...

Pastor Vic Lopez from People Church in Fort Stockton, Texas talks to us about why it is so important for us to move forward from the dead things in our past. If we are not over these things, we will continue to carry them instead of experiencing the abundant life Jesus promised to us. Our lives are not about our pursuit of Jesus, but His pursuit of us. We have to meet Jesus where he is, He cannot touch what we are not willing to surrender. Jesus is saying 'Come Here' to us. What things in our li...

Pastor Vic Lopez from People Church in Fort Stockton, Texas brings us a powerful word from God about Peter in the Bible and how when he got out of the boat and walked on water, he actually walked out of his community and was disobedient to Jesus. The boat in this story represents the church. The farther away you get from the boat, or church, the more your faith shrinks and decreases. Jesus designed us for community and to stay in our community and worship together. The real test of our faith is ...

Pastor Sergio continues his 'One' series and tells us about how we have to understand that the same reason God sent Jesus to redeem the lost, we must do the same. We are called to be the salt and the light on earth, if we are not doing what God called us to do we lost our flavor and will allow ourselves to be walked on in life. Just like it says in the book of Isaiah, 'Here am I! Send me!', as Jesus did, God has put us on earth to be fishers of men!

Pastor Willard brings us a powerful word about how we should be processing rejection. He talks to us about how Joseph dealt with rejection in the Bible and how through our rejection God is propelling us to our purpose. God Doesn't allow people to leave our lives without having an upgrade for us in our next season. Jesus dealt with rejection from His Father on the cross for all of our blessings.

Pastor Sergio continues his 'One' series and talks to us about how we are God's ambassadors of His goodness. Jesus came to bring us back to the ministry of God to reconcile others to Him. We have to be lights for God and win others for Him. The goal is for us to take as many souls with us to Heaven. We have to change our focus and give out what God has given us to others.

Pastor Sergio begins his incredible new series, 'One'. In order to live the abundant life God has promised us in John 10:10, we have to do as he instructs us to do: lead others to Him. We need to make sure to understand the Bible through the lens God intended it for us. God wrote everything to make our lives better, we have to submit to it, though. We can debate or argue with God into changing His word to change our agenda.

Pastor Willard brings us an incredible word from God as he talks to us about being prepared when our faith gets shaken. We have to equip ourselves with God's word and wisdom before we get shaken. The story of Samson in the Bible is a great testimony for us to learn about this. We have to give it everything we have when we think we're beat and tap into God's grace and power. God gets the glory when we get breakthroughs!

Pastor Sergio talks to us about how we have to build our faith by hearing the right things. The more you hear the word of God, the more our faith grows. We have to guard our faith and what we put into it. We can't have faith in worldly things, we have to continually hear God's words and promises over and over, so we can speak and believe those promises into existence.

Pastor Sergio continues his Loving Yourself Series and talks to us about what faith actually is. The world operates through feelings and senses and causes confusion and misleads you, but what works in the world doesn't work in the Kingdom of God. Faith is believing and speaking! Our faith is what get's God's attention. God blesses us by our faith!
