Elevate Life Sacramento

Pastor Sergio tells us about why we cannot remain ignorant in our walk, there are promises He paid for us on the Cross. The Lord brought us out of darkness to bring us into our promises! We've been saved because God has a purpose for our life. Jesus saved us on purpose for His purpose. We have to understand and learn about the unconditional and conditional promises God gives us in the Bible. We can't serve God with transactional thinking! Treating a conditional purpose as an unconditional purpose brings disappointment. We must contend and fight for the promises He has for us!

Pastor Jeremy Gonzalez from Bethel Church in Redding joins us and talks to us about how we have to be careful of the stories we tell ourselves! We are overcomers and conquerors, but we have to be careful of what we are telling ourselves we are in our identities. We cannot live in our past and continue to be stuck in our own fear! We can't continue to tell our story about identifying ourselves by our past traumas, failures and excuses. God wants us to live in the present and follow Him! We have to identify ourselves how He sees us, as His sons and daughters. We can't see ourselves as victims in hiding. We have to die to ourselves so we can live for the first time in our true identity in Christ!

Pastor Sergio continues this series talking with us about lessons learned from the church of Thyatira. The spirit of this text from Jesus is the Father trying to warn His children that if we don't repent and change our ways, this will happen. The Word is what we need! We cannot usurp authority in our lives. When there's lawlessness we will to to church without submission to God and live in immorality. God doesn't accept a mixture of a sinful lifestyle & grace! When we're on the throne of ourselves that's a problem. One reason we struggle in life is part of the judgements of the decisions we are making. We bring these things upon ourselves because of disobedience. We can come as we are into church, but Jesus won't let us let us stay as we are. All Jesus asks is that we serve Him with all our heart. We can't be adulterers with the world and serve him! We cannot have the blessing without the obedience.

Pastor Sergio continues this series talking to us all about lessons learned from the Church of Pergamum. This is the message from the Jesus with the sharp, two-edged sword. Sometimes we don't need validation, we need correction. Jesus has to give us correction because of consequences, but He doesn't correct to punish, he corrects in love! We can't fall into the teachings of Balaam that is about compromise, idolatry and immorality. A distorted idea of grace excuses sin. If God isn't Lord our of ALL, He isn't our Lord at all! Our blessings can go to somebody else if we don't accept correction and obedience. We cannot fall into deception and temptation and think we're still being obedient to the God! God doesn't ask us to do something that we cannot do without His help. We have to make sure God's standard is our standard!

Pastor Sergio continues his series talking to us about how when we don't have Revelation of who our King is we don't have the fear of God. We have to get to know Jesus to get the Revelation of who He is! We have to understand the Jesus in the book of Revelation isn't in a manger, He's the resurrected grown King on His throne! When we really know Jesus we have no problem with the price. Suffering is a part of serving Jesus. Really serving Jesus is going to cost us! If we're not willing to go through things for the cost of Christ, we have a knock off Jesus. Suffering doesn't mean we're not in God's will. Suffering and trials can make us rich in the Spirit! Suffering is a part of the Christian journey. The fear of God is respect to God! We have to know suffering doesn't come from God. God always brings life, the devil brings suffering, not God! On the other side of suffering is blessing. God isn't the author of what's causing us to suffer. He isn't interested in th

Pastor Sergio begins this series talking to us about Jesus's Love Letters To The 7 Churches In Revelation. Jesus loves us so much he gives everything to us straight! In today's American Christianity, we put so much emphasis on what we believe, but God is watching our works. God will judge us by our works and not our beliefs! If Jesus were writing you a letter today, what would he say about your works? As much as He judges our works, he judges our hearts. We can have the works and standards for holiness, but still miss the mark! We can be busy for God, but still distant from God. We have to love Christ like we did in the beginning and have genuine love for Jesus! We have to serve Him from overflow, not obligation. Genuine love for Jesus is not something you have to force. Repentance keeps us in God's grace! Repentance means you change your ways and how you're living. If you don't repent, your impact will be shut down!

Pastor Sergio wraps up this series the importance of why we cannot hear the Word of God if we don't listen to the Word of God. If we don't listen, even what little understanding we have will be taken away from us. The window of repentance doesn't stay open for too long! When God looks at us, we're either from the house of Jesus or the house of Adam. When we fight our flesh, we fight the house of Adam and the choices he made. Jesus's solution for us being lukewarm is for us to 'buy His gold', which is going to cost us. Sacrifice will get out of lukewarmness!

Pastor Sergio continues this series talking to us about The Virus Of Lukewarmness. Jesus is trying to separate us from what is right and what is wrong. If we're hot or cold, He can reach us, but when we're lukewarm He says we're unreachable. Jesus spoke in parables because even if He didn't, lukewarm people still wouldn't get it. There's a level with God we cannot reach when we're lukewarm! We have to become more than just church goers.

Pastor Sergio continues his series telling us about the 10 things that disqualify us from being a disciple. We have to be obedient to Him & His Word. We cannot possess these things in our hearts and our spirits if we want to bear fruit and be a disciple of Jesus. In order to separate ourselves from just being an ordinary church goer and elevate ourselves and others in following Jesus and being disciples we have to be obedient. Salvation costs us nothing, but discipleship will cost us everything!

Pastor Sergio begins his new series talking about the 5 G's of being a disciple of Jesus. In order to live out the promises God has for us we cannot remain on the same path that distracted us from Him. We can come as we are to Jesus, but we can't STAY as we were. We have to understand the power that repentance brings us in our relationship with Him! What did God save us from? We cannot be casual about our Christianity. We can't get to know God if all we do is come to church. A disciple looks to learn! We should be reaching people and making disciples with the Gospel and be a lighthouse to others!

Elevate Life Church's Christmas Service for 2025!

Pastor Tina talks with us about how we cannot have spiritual growth without surrendering ourselves to the Holy Spirit. We have to surrender all our anxiety, anger and circumstances, no matter how traumatic. Change is fruitful from the Holy Spirit! Jesus knew His disciples didn't understand this. We have to give up self sufficiency and humble ourselves and rely on God. The opposite of surrendering is striving, God is asking us to give up this focus on ourselves. God wants us to have things and desires, but doesn't want them to have us. Your surrender is a posture towards God! God has planned our our life, why do we resist this? We cannot become detoured by our own desires.

Pastor Sergio wraps up his series giving us 10 reason why we should pray in other tongues. We have to pray in other tongues because God wants us to, it builds us up in our Spirit, it helps us pray God's perfect will, it helps us pray when we don't know what to pray, it disciplines the mind and soul, it brings rest and refreshment, it gives us direct communication with God, it helps us worship in the Spirit, it strengthens us against spiritual attacks and helps us give thanks well. God wants us to receive these gifts he offers us! Our spirit and flesh are always at war, we have to allow our spirit to take over so our mind and soul don't dominate.

Pastor Sergio continues talking to us about leading a life led by the Holy Spirit. We show evidence we're filled by the Holy Spirit when we pray in tongues and have faith to receive all the good things God has promised us. Have you received this yet? There are 4 manifestations of the gift of speaking in tongues; signs to the believer, tongues for interpretation, tongues for intercession and tongues for personal prayer. We build our Holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit!

Pastor Sergio continues this series telling why we should be more concerned about the beast within us than the 'mark of the beast'. The victory we need is in our spirit, not our soul or body. Being spirit led is putting God first! To be led by the Spirit, we must be born again, learn God's Word, crucify our flesh, submit to God's Word, be under authority and be filled with the Spirit. When you speak, Heaven moves!
