Elevation Church Melbourne West

Larry's message today is a new topic.  Why in the World?   As Christians others think we do and believe some pretty crazy and strange things.  One of things is that we believe is that God actually came to Earth and became one of us.  This belief is significant to our Faith.  Today Larry unwraps the reasoning behind this.

Larry continues the series on the challenge of change.  Remember that God is into change.  He wants us to be bigger than we are now and he has bigger and different plans for us.  If we stayed the way we are now we become comfortable, but comfortable doesn't require faith.  Change is about a bigger picture of which we sometimes don't see.  Change is about the new not tizzing up the old

Larry starts to look at the Challenge of Change. We all love change providing it is the other person that changes.  Truth is most of us are resistant to change and that is a truth we need to understand.  It is amazing how often the one thing we don't want to be is the one thing God wants us to be.  God is into change, he is into taking you from here to there.

Kevin is with us again and today shares a message from the bible story of when the Israelites and the Philistines were at war.  The story of Johnathon and how God was with Johnathon.  Then the story of a little old white haired man in Sydney. Kevin then asks. Are you allowing God to position you to be able to feed a hungry people?  How do we prepare ourselves to be person who can feed others the bread of life?

Today Larry concludes our series on Crash the Chatterbox.  Larry shares 3 issues that you will more than likely have to deal with in Crashing your Chatterbox.  Larry shares what these critical issues are and how to deal with them.

How do we counteract the Chatterer?  How do we deal with the Chatterer that has far too much to say in our lives?  Larry shares 6 steps to help silence the Chatterer in our lives.

Bronson continues today with the message of Crash the Chatterbox.  Bronson talks today about the topic of Shame.  You can't make me ashamed.  Notice how when the Chatterbox talks to you it always puts you down and tries to shame you.  Listen as Bronson tells us about our advocate.  An advocate given as a gift from God who supports us against the Chatterbox.

Continuing the message Crash the Chatterbox, Larry today shares something a little different in the terms of the Chatterbox.  a message that is about the excuses that we make because we are given the opportunity to make an excuse but in our heart we know.

Pete Buckley visits us again with todays message The Power of the Extra Mile.  Listen to how Pete tells by looking at the culture of the industry and doing that little bit extra, how when Denise did a nice gesture at the checkout, how going the extra mile changes a persons day.

Kevin Matherson our visiting speaker today tells how the anointing of God falls on whoever he chooses.  People like Moses, Gideon and many others, people who saw nothing in themselves who saw themselves as the bottom of the bottom.  Do you know the gift of God? Do you know who you are what is your potential?  It has been said if you jump for the stars you might get over the fence. If you jump for the fence you might not make it.  Lift your sight, keep lifting your sight and as you move up a level lift it more.

Continuing with Crash the Chatterbox.  What are the voices that you respond to determine the future of your life.  What is the Chatterbox on your shoulder?  The choices of the voices (thoughts) you consume are so important.

Beginning a new series Crash the Chatterbox.  What is the, I'm not enough, that surrounds your life when you are challenged to be more than you feel that you are?The voice that we respond to determines the future we experience.

Today the last of the series Wisdom of Proverbs. Through this series we have learned about the Wise and today we learn a little about the fools. Whatever is in us, WILL eventually work it's way out of us.  Wisdom is less about us expanding our minds and more about us bending our wills.

Bronson last shared about Being Born For This.  Today Bronson shares how You Were Born For More.  John 14:12 ESV   Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

The whole issue about life is not so much that we always get it right but that we are smart enough to learn from when we get it wrong.  The book of Proverbs has a whole heap of things that teach us when we are doing the right things and when we do the dumb things.  It talks about what the wise person does and what the foolish person does.
