Paradise Lost and Found

paradise l & f logo .jpg

There was a slight v i b r a t i o n... the planet broke and paradise was lost. Will it be found again? What happened in that garden? What happens when you die, do you sleep or are you in Heaven awake and lucid? What is Heaven going to be like? What about Hell? We'll explore these questions in less convention Elevation style in our new series: Paradise Lost and Found - Beginning Sunday 21st

Jesus in a Cage?

Non believers in Santa Cruz are hearing about Jesus and I'm stoked. A quote from the attached video... "is it just me or is Jesus bigger than ever around here?" Elevation along with Vintage Faith Church and others are becoming more visible to less-convinced folks in Santa Cruz. This is an EXCELLENT thing, even if folks don't yet believe or understand Jesus - the invisible church is becoming more visible. Here is a clip from a local Santa Cruzan's recent video blog, he no likee Jesus (yet). Todays persecutors are sometimes tomorrows priests, ask that guy named Saul. Good news kids.

Active Ideas for Inactive Devotions

LB.jpg
Here are the creative resources for Quiet Times I spoke about at June 6th's Elevation. Variety is vitality in spiritual practices.

reCONNECTORS – active ideas from the mind of Chuckk Gerwig designed for reconnecting with Jesus in your TWG, prayer time, closet prayer, quiet time, devo time or whatever you like to call it.

1. PYD-"Pray Your Day": Get up 15 minutes early. Make three horizontal columns on a sheet of paper. Head one column with each of the following headings; Wake up until noon - noon to 5 o'clock - 5 o'clock 'till I sleep. Under each time zone list all the classes, events, meetings, work and other activities you'll experience that day. Now take time to pray through your day, asking for God's wisdom, direction, help and protection in the day of life He gave you today. Pray that you will be a good witness to all the people you come in contact with.

reCONNECT Series Audio, and also Kidneys for Jesus

reconnect with tagline.jpg
The complete reCONNECT series podcasts are now up online at the Elevation Media Vault and on iTunes also (search chuckk gerwig to find us on iTunes easily). If you've struggled with quiet times, feel disconnected from friendship and intimacy with Jesus, are bored with your devotions or are just experiencing a dry time in general we hope these messages will be a blessing to you.

Also check out the amazing testimony from our latest worship and communion night as Melissa Boose our Elevation Admin tells the story of how she will need a kidney transplant and 3 people from Elevation have offered her one of theirs. Dan, one of the candidates is through testing and will give him one of her kidneys next month. God is at work, I smell Jesus. I love what is happening in our community

Stopping iPhone / Computer Speaker Interference

If you own an iPhone and use it anywhere near computer speakers the "digital gerbil chirping noises" probably drive you nuts. I came up with a free-fix solution for this annoyance. Take some aluminum foil, folded a bit larger than the iPhone footprint, place the foil (shiny side out) inside a small ziplock bag and lay your iPhone on it on your desk this will totally eliminate the noise problems coming through your computer speakers. Ahhhhhh the sounds of silence!

Hi Everyone,

I want to personally invite you to come out to Elevation this Sunday night. We have a HUGE announcement to make this weekend at the service, and if you’ve been involved with Elevation, you’ll totally want to be there to hear what it is. The crew and I believe it is excellent news and we want you to hear it fully, clearly and directly from me!

Do NOT miss this Sunday at Elevation; for reals, this is BIG!

God is up to something good!
