Living Waters Church - Elk River, MN

Jesus had a rhythm of pouring himself out and then slipping away to be alone with God. We'll look at why that rhythm matters for us too, and what God wants to do in the silence and stillness.

We can't practice the way of Jesus without walking closely with others. We'll look to scripture for 4 ways to be intentional about building the kind of life-changing community that Jesus is inviting people into. 

We started a new sermon series entitled "Holy Habits."  Pastor Bob takes us into the Bible to give us an overview of the importance the first disciples placed on their spiritual growth. 

Do you want to "grow in ALL respects"?  As we finish out our series in Equipping the Saints, Ephesians 4:15 gives us another key to the growth and maturing of the body: the inseparable relationship between truth and love. Join us so we can grow together!

We've been talking about the gifts Jesus gave to equip the church.  This week, we celebrate how Jesus, the master builder, is building us into a house of living stones!

In our series on the 5-fold ministry gifts, we're looking at the unique assignment of the teacher to make the confusing clear and help the body move from spiritual infancy to maturity.  It's easy to accumulate knowledge, but a true teacher is anointed to turn that knowledge into a changed life. 

Pastor Bob encourages us to live a life that carries the essence of Christ.  We are His ambassadors to the world that needs His forgiveness and righteousness!

In this week of Equipping the Saints, we focus on the interconnected roles of the Pastor and the Teacher, and discover how these gifts work together to guard against false doctrine, heal spiritual wounds, nurture the growth of the church, and ground our community in faith. 

The church needs evangelists to keep its mission alive and outward-focused. The Biblical evangelist is given to equip you to share your faith.  Discover how this unique gift breaks down walls, gathers the lost, and stirs up a passion for the Gospel inside & outside the church!

The authority of the Kingdom flows through God ordained governments. True authority from Christ will always serve and not dominate.  We explore what that looks like and the principles in leadership that are a blessing and bring growth in the body of Christ.

Pastor Bob reminds us of our privilege and responsibility to be proclaimers of the truth. 

We continue to look at the apostolic gifting and the role it has in providing foundation, structure, and culture for the church.

We continue to explore the 5-fold leadership gifts that Christ has given the church, meant to equip, edify, mature, and unite the body of Christ.  We look at the foundation of apostles and prophets and how we relate to them today.

We continue to look at the role the 5 fold ministry gifts have in the church and the way they're meant to lead to the maturity and unity of the church.  Come and listen to hear how you fit together with the rest of the body of Christ!

This Sunday, we launched a new Sermon Series entitled "Equipping the Saints". Pastor Bob talks about the importance of being equipped to represent Christ to others around us. 

Join us as Pastor Bob helps us understand how our natural man is used by the Holy Spirit to represent God to others around us!

Fire, wind, water, oil...the Bible uses many ways to describe Holy Spirit. We look at what these pictures tell us about the work of Holy Spirit and the events of Pentecost.

Jesus said to wait for the power of the Holy Spirit. What does Holy Spirit empower us to do? How do we know if we have the Holy Spirit?

As we are celebrating the mother-hearts in our lives, we are going to look at all the ways that the Holy Spirit empowers us for abundant life.

Join us as Pastor Bob kicks off a new sermon series, "Empowered". We will be reminded that we are not alone in our Christian Journey.  We have been given the Holy Spirit to be our Convincer, our Helper, our Teacher, our Guide, and so much more!

One of the great truths Paul preached was the truth of living from the power of a resurrected life.  Let's dive into that truth as we discover how we're seated with Christ. 

Pull up a chair and discover what you can expect at the table with Jesus and our role in inviting and serving like Him. 

It's time to "come to the table."  Jesus transformed ordinary meals into extraordinary encounters. We'll explore some of the table moments in Scripture, and see what it's like to have a seat at His table. 

He is Risen!  An important part of our faith is believing this truth. Even more important is to know what the resurrection means for us right now today, and how we live as those who have been raised with Christ!  Let's celebrate our risen King and the resurrection life that is available to us!

We are celebrating Palm Sunday as we begin Holy Week. We'll look together at the way of King Jesus. How does He arrive and what does He bring?  Our kids will play a special part of our service as we celebrate the arrival of King Jesus!

This week, listen as Pastor Renae reminds us how we've been invited into the cleansing, sacrifice, and dedication of consecration to God. When we “lay aside every weight and the sin that tangles” through cleansing and sacrifice, we are free to “run the race set before us”.

This week, we are continuing to press into the invitation to consecration. Let's listen as Pastor Renae dives into what it looks like for us to be set apart in purity, purpose, and pursuit in this season.

This week, we're honored to hear from our guest speakers Max Fetisov and Amanda Fetisov as they share an encouraging update from their ministry, True Hope. Listen in as they recount what God is doing on the ground, the realities of ministry in this season, and the hope that continues to shine through faith and obedience. This message will inspire you, strengthen your faith, and remind you of the power of living consecrated lives for God's purposes.

This week, we explore the invitation to consecration—not as restriction, but as an invitation to abundant life. Pastor Renae shares what a consecrated life truly looks like and how being set apart actually brings freedom. Discover how consecration opens the door to the life God designed you to live. Press play and lean into the freedom He's inviting you into.

On Today's episode, listen as Pastor Bob continues our series entitled Consecrated. We will discover how Jesus ushered in a whole new way of walking out our devotion to God. 

We each have a unique role to play in the time and place where God has planted us. Stepping into that calling begins with answering the call to consecration. Consecration may not be trending in today's culture, but it has always preceded every biblical—and historical—move of God. In this episode, we explore why consecration still matters and how God's invitation to be set apart is just as relevant for us today.

Pastor Renae wraps up the month of sharing our vision to see the light and be the light of Jesus. Pastor J. Brian shares about carrying that light into the city. 

Pastor Bob reminds us of the value we place on being equipped to effectively represent the power and character of God.

We're starting off the year by focusing on our mission and vision as a church.  Pastor Renae will talk about how important belonging is to being the light in our community.

As we open the year, we will revisit our vision as a church to be a place and a people of encounter with God.  We will remember what it was like to "See the Light" and set ourselves on the course to walk in the Light of His presence throughout this year!

As we finish up a month of considering the names and attributes of Jesus, we'll be talking about what it looks like to call on His name.  How do we put our hope and expectation in the Name above every other name?

Join us as Pastor Renae continues our Advent Series and speaks on JOY!    

As we celebrate the arrival of the Prince of Peace, we'll consider what it takes to be a people of peace and let peace rule in our hearts. 

The culture around us can easily shape our views on sexuality and identity even in our attempts to push back against a perverse society.  We need to get a vision for Kingdom principles, posture, and practices that honor God's design for us as image bearers.

As we continue to explore the "Culture Shock" of the Kingdom, we look at the issue of money, giving, and generosity.  As Kingdom people, what are the principles and posture we should take regarding finances?

Join us as Pastor Bob starts us off on a new Sermon Series entitled "Culture Shock!" We will discover that Jesus modeled and taught a whole new culture for leadership in the Kingdom of God. 

As we continue to learn from the parables of Jesus, we will see what the Kingdom celebrates: when the lost are found!  Let's connect to the heart of Jesus as we look at the story of the lost coin and the lost sheep.

Pastor Bob leads us into the teachings of Jesus to discover the mystery of the Kingdom of God!  

Forgiveness is foundational to Jesus' teachings on Kingdom life. First, the forgiveness we have received, and then the forgiveness we extend to others. 

Pastor Renae is opening our series titled "The Kingdom of God is like..." with an introduction to the ways Jesus used parables to help us understand His Kingdom.    We'll look at the parables of the treasure and the pearl and find out what we value most!

We continue to explore "Ruling & Reigning" with a word on the theology of work. We've been given a job to do on planet Earth - how does the work you do fit into that mandate?  Let's cross the sacred vs. secular divide and realize that all your work is holy when it's done to the glory of God and leads to human flourishing.
