Elev8

Elve8 is the new Student Ministry that is started in Alva, Oklahoma at the First AG Church here in town. Its amazing to see what God did to get me and my wife to move here and start ministry, but after tonights service I can see why. I talked about elevating Jesus in each of our lives, and the students really responded to the message.
This is a message for everyone though.... To elevate Jesus above everything else in this world.
Matthew 22: 37-38
Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.

First and greatest commandment, and a lot of times we try to live such a "holy" life and follow all these other rules and church guidelines that we forget to just love Jesus, to elevate him and lift him up in our lives. So I encourage whoever is reading this to get back to where it started ... To love Jesus and elevate him in your life above everything else.
