Hey, this is Stephen Fertake. I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our

podcast. I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you.

Hope it builds your faith. Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life.

Enjoy the message. Thank you.

came today to preach. We lived oppression.

We breathed oppression.

We breathe depression. We exist to glorify you and enjoy you forever. And your presence is the

fullness of joy at your right hand are pleasures forever more. We praise you Lord. Thank you for the privilege today to breathe in your

grace to breathe out your praise and now Lord I ask that you would do something so spectacular as you speak through your

word that we would have no other option than to say it was God. For it could not have been a motivational speech or

an inspirational song that touched me like that. It was God. And that will be our

testimony when we leave. We thank you in advance. In

Jesus' name, Amen. Put your hands together and say it had to be God. It had to be God.

So thankful that you're here today, welcome.

God bless each and every one of you, whether you're physically with us or whether you're part of our E-FAM.

Hey I want to make sure that those of you who are in within reach, within range of our elevation nights coming up.

How many of you that are here, by the way, at Valentine today,

traveled in from over 50 miles away for the primary purpose.

I'm not done qualifying.

There's more stipulations.

For the primary purpose of coming to church today. Wave at me. Celebrate you. Wow, that's quite a few. Good to have you.

Good. How many of you you only traveled five or ten miles, but your kids fought all the way and it made it feel like you were driving all the way to the other side of the country.
