Elevate Church - Perth, Western Australia

As we mature we learn to choose what we want most over what we want now.

What are you trying to control? How can you surrender this to God?

Living for the approval of people keeps you from living for the purposes of God.

There's so much more God wants for us than to just get through each year and move on to the next. But what does it look like to transition well? And what kind of faith do we need in order to cross over while not forgetting where we came from?

God knows what you need. He sent Jesus into the world for you, to meet your greatest need. The Christmas story is personal. Here's how to make it your story.

The Christmas period is often described as the 'Most wonderful time of the year'. Christmas can also be a reminder of broken relationships, unmet expectations and missed loved ones. But there is a story that is the most wonderful - the story of the light that will always overcome the darkness.

You are not on the earth at this moment in time by accident or for no reason. God has called you and wants to do great things through you. Your starting point is declaring, 'Here I am, send me!'

We live in a culture that values comfort and security above all else. But God sometimes allows us to experience situations that break us and force us to place our security in him.

We all have blind spots to things we do that are less than God's best - thoughts, motives, actions. Asking God to reveal them to us starts the launch sequence to getting unstuck and free.

In life we go through times of 'being in the fire'. Financial struggles, relationship problems, health issues. Whatever fire we are in, we can stand firm and continue to rely on God, because He is right there in the centre of the fire with us.

Just because you haven't received an answer to your prayer, doesn't mean God hasn't heard you. Sometimes the answer is 'not yet'. What does it take to stand firm in faith for the promise God has for you?

We can often find ourselves in a place of fear or anxiety. What does it take to stand strong?

God will often call us to stand up for something. How we approach that can make all the difference.

Life is full of pressure to conform to what the culture around us considers "normal". So what does it take to stand out?

Why do we go to church? The answer can change everything. Do you ask what God can do for you? Maybe there's a better question to ask ...

At Elevate Church, our code is we bring our best. How do we make sure what we bring God is always our very best, and not just whatever is left over? Guest speaker Dean Groetzinger.

When God deposits a seed, the next step isn't fruit, it's root. God knows exactly the right time for you to take your turn, so how can we ensure we don't become discouraged in the process?

Life can be full of complexity - but how can we find a pathway of simplicity? Guest speaker Dave Ryder brings some clarity on how not to get lost in the complexity of life.

Establishing your purpose will prepare you in your pain

We often want the blessing of the harvest before we plant the seed or work the soil, thus leading to disappointment
