“Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” - Matthew 28:5-6
Matthew 28 begins with Mary Magdalene and the other Mary going to the tomb where Jesus laid following His crucifixion. Upon their arrival they were greeted by an angel who said: “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. (Matthew 28:5-6) The angel’s declaration was good news because there is power in the resurrection of Christ.
Ephesians 2:1-10 speaks about this great power that raises us from the dead, telling us that we are new creations, God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has ordained that we should do. And in Ephesians 3:20
Paul exclaims, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. . . .” In Ephesians 6:10 we are commanded, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” With this kind of power, every follower of Christ can walk in victory.
The resurrection of Christ should motivate every believer to reach others and make Jesus’ name famous. Our personal testimonies will allow others to know the Christ who lives. Will you accept the challenge and privilege to tell someone about the
Savior that redeemed you from addictions, pain, fear, and the miracles, signs and wonders that follow those who believe? Rejoice in knowing that Christ is risen!
Amazed by His Grace,Dr. T.L. Carmichael, Sr.
Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us— I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving. (2 Corinthians 8:1-9.)

FIRST FRUITS OFFERINGS There’s still time to GIVE
Begin 2016 aligned with God’s Word about first fruits, “Honor the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing,and your vats will brim over with new wine.”
Everything you have belongs to God so honor the Lord with a First Fruits offering from the first of your harvest -- your wages from the first day, the first week, the first month or the first year -- above your normal tithes and offerings.
NEW! Ministry e-Team Classes - Sundays9:15 to 10:15 a.m.
Ministry e-Teams at Elevation are the pri-mary way that ministry is planned, visional, and executed through the
Holy Spirit. Every disciple of Elevation is encouraged to find a place of ministry within the church. A great way to serve in your spiritual gift is to work through love in the e-Team Ministry.
e-Team Ministry are designed to build up and reach out to one another with the corporate goal of evan-gelism as the primary focus. e-Team Ministry are de-signed to stay connected to the overall mission/vision and one another. If you are interested in serving on a ministry team and have a particular passion or desire to grow and reach others for Christ, talk to one of the ministry Servant Leader to connect and get involved!
