Elevate Life Sacramento

Pastor Andrev Baltazar from Church Unstoppable in Santa Rosa, California brings an incredible word about how God brings us out of our past bondage and into the breakthroughs of the promises He has for us! God does not just deliver us from our past, He also delivers us into our purpose. The crossing of the Red Sea was a rescue mission, but the crossing of the Jordan River was about release into a promise. God's promise to us is that He will always be with us. What brings you into the promise is forgiveness! How do we cross the Jordan? We have to extract a vision from our seasons of trial. We have to invest into what God is bringing us into. We can't be satisfied during our periods of layover. God wants to move us from survival to significance, rescued to release and Baggage To Breakthrough!

Pastor Willard talks to us about spiritual growth! He gives us the 5 Behavioral Habits Necessary For Spiritual Growth. God has designed us to grow in our faith. He is the chef, when He's cookin', we have to get out of the kitchen! Growth takes effort on our part. We don't get to bear fruit if our heart is full of anger and resentment. The enemy will distract us, we have to be intentional in our growth! After we are saved, our process of growth is a process of understanding. God gives us our Pastors so we can grow and get built up. When we say yes to God, the world will always try to pull us out. Spiritual growth does not happen by default or mistake, we must go through a process and that process takes effort. The enemy knows when we are prideful, growth cannot happen! Are you still hurt when you're walking next to a person who hurt you? What is God asking us to do in fully surrendering to Him? God's goal is that we grow!

Pastor Sergio talks to us about why the most important thing we can do is be transformed into more like the image of Jesus. We are destined to be more like Jesus! We can't get distracted. We don't chase blessings, blessings chase us. When we have voids in our life, it's a natural response to try to fill this void, but most fill the void with sin. We cannot fill the voids with sin! The displacement of one thing in your life will make room for another thing. We have to make room for God! To get more of God we have to displace some things. The old you has to die so the new you can take it's place. Whatever you give God, He will fill! As long as we keep things from God, He can't fill it. If we want to grow, we have to make room. Nothing happens by itself. Growth happens when we are uncomfortable. Life is lived on levels and experienced in stages. Spiritual life unfolds progressively, growing in understanding and clarity. The reason we can't forgive is because we can't mature in our rel

Pastor Sergio wraps up his series talking to us about how the worst kind of deception is when we deceive ourselves. If we identify as victim, we'll never be a victor! Toxicity kills friendship and fellowship. Toxicity is negative thinking that turns into negative words. God has created church to get rid of toxic thinking. We know Jesus is our Lord if He's our source & sustainer, He's who we worship and He's who we obey! In order to be a disciple we need connection, instruction, examples and submission.

Pastor Sergio continues this series talking about how the Kingdom of God is not without, it's within us. We must not forsake the process of being conformed to the image of Christ. He gives us the 3 ingredients needed for discipleship: Connection, Instruction and Example. Discipleship is about authenticity and about learning. Without the ability to love, we can't connect. Biblical fellowship involves sharing, partnership, communication and friendship. Toxicity kills friendship & fellowship, a critical spirit kills fellowship and pride kills fellowship. A healthy soul can be friends with anybody! As a believer, we must focus on destiny before purpose. It's our destiny to change!

Pastor Sergio continues this series talking to us about how it's in our destiny to become more like Jesus. We have to make Jesus' ways first in our life. We have to put God first and live right! We can't 'dumb down' the Gospel. We have to serve God and His vision every day. Wherever the Kingdom of God is; right living, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost is. We have to be intentional in being more like Christ. When we change, out light shines brighter. The only thing that will bring people to church is a changed mind. When we were born, God gave us all the components to be like Jesus. We have to trust His process of transformation and maturity! The quicker we submit to His process, the faster we mature.

Pastor Sergio starts this new series talking to us about how the goal of Christianity is always to seek God first. We can't seek things above the Kingdom of God because then we've crossed the line. If God isn't first, Christianity doesn't work! The goal Jesus has for us is that we have to put His new way of living first. We have to come out of the system of the world and the way the world thinks. We don't get the new life until we leave our old life! Living for Jesus is a series of choices. What makes a relationship incredible is a person chose you, much like Jesus chose us. If we change, everything changes!

Pastor Willard tells us why we need to walk in what we are created by God to be. The first thing the devil will attack is your identity. In order for us to flourish we need to get a foundation for our identity in God! God will never tell you that you aren't everything He says your are in His Word! We need to pause and ask God who He says we are and what we are here to do. We can't put our own barriers up with God! We are crafted in perfection by God. We are one of one and hand crafted luxury. It doesn't matter when you say yes to God, just say yes! Don't miss your greatness! God is always more concerned with your development. We have to live by the revelation in His Word. We also have to go to Him and pray for how He wants to use us next. God did not make mistakes when he crafted us. Don't let emotions let you make knee jerk decisions that will effect your purpose.

Pastor Willard talks to us about how God is the only one who can go into the future and tell us what's going to happen. We can't tell everyone what God is telling us. Keep trusting God while you're waiting for your promise from God. We have to persevere! Satan can't steal our salvation, that's God's. In each of our processes there's always going to be battles. The devil doesn't want us to have a voice because our voice carries power! We don't need to speak anything except for what God says about us. Do people around you know what God's done is your life? What God is doing in your waiting is He's building your great faith! God wants to take our pain and walk with us!

Pastor Sergio gives us a bold Easter word for us and talks about how Jesus lived as a common man while He was on earth. Nobody took Jesus' life, He gave it freely. God has no beginning and no end. When the divine power of God comes, the flesh has no power. We can fill up on the things of the world, but we have to be hungry for God's bread of life more! If you keep filling up on 'junk food' and things of the world, our life is going to look like junk. What are you giving God in your life?

Pastor Sergio continues this series as he tells us about why blessings follow those who give. We don't just go to church, we're a stone in the house of God, we have a part to play! When we come to church, we shouldn't come empty. We come to church to bring praises, service and spiritual sacrifices, such as tithes and offerings). We aren't children of God until we come through the spirit of God. If we call ourselves Christians, we must life our lives for His cause!

Pastor Sergio continues this series talking to us about how God has a purpose and a vision for our life. Our job as believers is to bear witness to the truth. We have to remind ourselves that our life isn't about rewards but service to our King! God will grant us rewards, we don't need to chase them. He talks to us about what the jobs are for Kings(church members)and Priests(pastors). If we aren't taking up the cause for Christ, we're just living for ourselves. Vision will pull you to it, but you have to write those visions down!
