Sunday Reflections

Here are some thoughts from Sunday:

• We made it to Charleston, SC on Sunday night for a vacation so I just wanted to hit a few quick highlights.
• It was week three in our Unstoppable series.  The message this week was called Unstoppable People.
• I didn't preach for two weeks and I was grateful for the break.  It was also great to preach today.  I love our people!
• We've been working on a lot of systems and getting ready to crank it up around Elevate so that's what I've been working on.  
• Happy Father's Day!  Dads you have an incredible opportunity.  Make the most of it and be the men God has created you to be.
• We gave every dad a copy of You Have What It Takes by John Eldridge.  It is a short book and every dad should read it.
• By the way, you can listen to the message here.  The first few minutes were unfortunately cut off but you can still get the majority of the message.
• I shared three characteristics that it takes to be Unstoppable.  It is true for a marriage, a family, and of course our church.
• Unstoppable People are united, focused, and relentless!
• We spent some time at the end of the service to honor Ellenor Sullins and all of her service to Elevate.  She started out as Elevate's Children Director and then became one of our overall amazing volunteers.   We love her and look forward to what God does next on her journey as she moves to Atlanta!
• This week we end the Unstoppable series with a message called Unstoppable Purpose.  Also, Chris Reynolds will be here too!  Can't wait!
• We start a new series on July 4th called Encore.  We're bringing back some of the best messages for an Encore.  It will be a remix and even better than before!
• Go here to vote for your two favorite messages you would like to hear during July.
• I heard a lot of great stuff about Donald Miller's book called A Million Miles in a Thousand Years.  I love to read and look forward to reading it while we're on vacation.
• The next six months at Elevate are going to be the greatest we've seen so far.  What are you doing to make a difference for Jesus?  It's going to take everyone stepping up!  Praying, serving, and inviting others.
• Our God is greater, Our God is stronger, God you are higher than any other!
