Welcome to Elmvale Community Church. We are a community of believers in Jesus Christ committed to Loving God and Loving Others. We follow in the Way of Jesus and dedicate ourselves to: Being with Jesus. Becoming like Jesus. Doing what Jesus did.
- We are finding wholeness in sharing community with neighbours marked by generosity and self-sacrifice.
- We are finding freedom submitting our lives to the leading of the Spirit to do bold and audacious things for God.
- We are finding peace in doing the right things, not the popular things.
- We are finding significance and joy in living love and restoring people, marriages, families, our community, and the world around us back to God.
Checkout our latest teaching below:
If we trust Jesus’ vision of abundance, and God as our Father-Provider. Then His teachings on money start to make sense and we become free to be generous with what we have. Otherwise Jesus’ teachings about money sound illogical and unhinged. And generousity sounds not only foolish, but dangerous.
We live with a nagging sense that we never have enough. We never have enough hours in the day, stuff in our house, or money in the bank. We always need a bit more. Contentment is always just beyond our reach. But it’s a false promise. Money and stuff can’t give us security and satisfaction in our hearts. Most of Jesus’ teaching about money do not come as a rule, but as warnings or statements of reality. He didn’t give us guidelines about how much is too much – I think He understood that each of our hearts has a different capacity for greed. Jesus understood that money and possessions can become a form of rival god and move us away from Kingdom.
