"If you see a problem, you're probably the solution!"
❤
God is the solution not man.
@@michaelstrout3839indeed😢😢😢😢
Lord, I repent for leaving the body! I'm going back!
Wow “if you see a problem, you’re probably the solution”
This sermon testifies to the tribe of people who met God personally through churchgoing culture... I met him when i was 4 years but I chose Jesus at camp and he hid himself in my spirit since ❤️. Youth ministry is everything!!! & powerfully eternally transformative!
I love how he says if we see a problem, we are probably the solution, and Our gift was designed to impact the church, Hallelujah.
When you fill your heart with love and compassion to the Lord his blessings will come from surround you with joy and happiness 15:56
If you can recognize a problem be the SOLUTION ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Such a preach for right now!
I think a lot of people learnt from covid time that they can do church online.
I made the choice (out of a stressful situation) to return to church. For ages I've been wallowing in the past but since returning to church and becoming reconnected I've been able to live in the present!
"You know what makes the sound? The tension." I was already head over heels in love with this sermon, but when he said that? I was ready to get out and run around my car!
The lady that kept yelling “COME ON NOW!” kept me focused 🤣🙌!
The hallelujah lady.. I can't wait to meet her in heaven. I love her and I have never seen her
This man brought a WORD!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT HERE! My life has been NOTHING SHORT of a BLESSING since joining the efam! I got my JOY back y'all 🙌🏾
Will never open as long as we believe and trust and love The One and only God... 51:56
Perfect as I am walking through a storm of unemployment yet I am on my way to serve at VBS... 🎉❤🎉❤
Dear Lord
I pray you mend the heart of who is reading this. They are full of love and life but they are dealing with some confusion. I pray you remind this person that they are loved, beautiful, strong, unique, and very gifted. I pray you show them the truth so they can repair the things they lack in. Lord it isn't their fault. Life has been unfair to them but your love is all they need. Loving themselves is all they need. I pray you remove any bad energy or bad entities that may have latched on from other people. They are stronger to believe another persons words of discouragement. I pray you remove the people who are no good for them and keep close the ones who truly love them. They mean no harm lord. I pray you heal them at this very moment and that you restore them with the holy spirit God. I pray you keep working in our lives because you are the only one we need God. In Jesus name. Amen.
Indeed!💕💕💕🙀
Thank you
Thank you Jesus. My call is to help meet the needs where the church is lacking. There are too many church leaders who are disconnected from the body and i feel a strong call to change that. I don’t know how. Please pray for me!!!
Would like to say a special thank you for this. My family and I are new Christians giving our lives to God. Please keep us in your prayers and we will keep on worshipping with you guys. We love elevation worship!
I'll keep you in prayer. I've just come back after 12 years. Please keep me in prayer.
Sept 3 2022 41 years old I decided no more sinful life. My life now goes to Jesus
Your family is in my prayers….you made the right choice 🙏
If you can see the problem, you need to realize you are the one to fix it. We need to stop blaming others and find the solution. Great sermon!
👋👋👋👋👋🙏🏼 I still love the church in Jesus name AMEN 🙏🏼👋👋👋
YES AND AMEN, in 2023.
Praise the lord pastor Steven keep letting those who have a voice speak cause it may come from God and praise the lord for Taurens honesty keep it coming Amen 🙏 🙌 ❤
I still love the church!!

My name is christopher kulp I am from upstate New York and I watch your ministry every single week please pray for me and my wife we are poor and we work very hard please pray for a future for us and heal us internally we love you pastor 52:36
This is so powerful. I will listen to this again with a note pad. THIS should be shouted from the rooftops. The stats hurt my heart. I don't know how people have hope without the church...their community of brothers and sisters. I am a pk. My little sister at around 3 or 4 years old told my parents "Chuch chuch chuch, that's all I hear". 😂 But really, that was our life. Fast fwd 50 years to COVID... My husband and I changed churches because the one we had attended for 25+ years because we were NEEDING a gathering place bc our church was VERY slow to re open. Just getting REALLY established and involved there and a man my husband did a construction project for took advantage of him that cost us a mint. My husband became bitter and refuses to go back there. He's found a small country church he likes for the time being and I'm on a small struggle bus torn between being with him on Sunday at a church that sings traditional gyms that I don't know with ppl I don't know and being with my young adult children in a worship and word I relate to... so I alternate. All that being said you hit so many nails on the head with this message for all of us. Oh and big blessings on your church plant. I live in Tennessee but grew up in Louisiana.
I heard many sermons in my life as a pastors kid. But this is one of the most healthy words out there! THE CHURCH IS A TRAINING PLACE FOR THE MARKETPLACE! We can’t live without because it’s God’s eternal plan! 💪🏽🔥
Sept 3 2022 41 years old I decided no more sinful life. My life now goes to Jesus
I still love the church, too!!! There is an attack on it right now so this sermon was exactly what we needed to hear! Thank you man of God!
"WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU'RE ONLY A BLIND WORSHIP LEADER !"
wonderful teaching Taurens.Watching from Kenya.God bless you for changing people's lives
Wow ❤ still in tears 😭 so powerful! A battle cry, a wake up call, a lifting up, a calling out, and everything in between. ✝️🚨⏰🚨
Indeed🙌🙌🙌🙌
Many good Christian men have stopped going to church because pastors show favoritism towards women.
Jesus is the head of the church 😇
I am so happy that I found elevation church.
It is indeed the best gift God has given me.
After months of searching, listening to other pastors and going to other churches.
I am eternally grateful that God has shown me that the elevation church is for me.🎉🎉🎉
As we all know, pastor tauren is now a married father of 4 boys!🛀🛀🍂🍂
Why?
I admit that Kevin Furtick has good teaching but the thing that I detect is he shows FAVORTISM towards women over men
I am so grateful for this sermon. I am so very grateful for elevation. It has changed my life an perspective.
Your your church is the Holy Spirit just with so much more you have a loving Church that is healing any wounds your changing the day people have had
Amen...have had similar thoughts about church for years, so nice to hear a preacher saying it. Love church regardless....❤❤❤❤❤
I saw this headline then and heard it as 'I STILL love the Church'
- despite the compromise and abominable things He sees, He still loves us and won't give up on his Bride. He rejoices at those parts where: .
'The Church is the (Lord's) imperfect amplifier of truth, justice, and the sovereignty of God.
the church is Jesus' love on display;
a symbol of grace, a conduit of mercy,
a hospital for the broken, a family for the lonely, and a place where captives find freedom.'
Just about a year on from this word, I believe He weeps all the more at - in fact is beyond sick of - the state his Body is in, and He has to do justice, for his own name's sake - and for ours and for that of the world He loves beyond measure.
So each one of us has a daily - moment-by-moment - choice to make...
The word of the Lord will never die it will just evolve 22:27
I HAD NO IDEA that amazing man was a Pastor ... dig it!
Woooo! Thank you for that refresh! I still love the church!
Oh, I so love this word because it's my heart, too. I love the Church, even with the shadows, preach it, Ps Tauren
How can I bear the weight of the Cross and still have strength to hurl stones at my fellow Christians? Chances are am not carrying the Cross at all, just pretending to... This statement hit me right between my eyes... Thank You Pastor for saying it with all boldness.. I did not see that coming.
Lord, open my eyes, show me how to love and pray for those who hurt me, remove fear of others' judgments of me, and remove my fear of not being liked. Remove my judgments of others out of fear, and show me how to love all. ❤️
Beautiful sermon and service, drove four hours to see this one live today🙏🏽

Amen. God bless you Pastor Tauren and our Church. Watching from Waltham, MA. Walking in the Word of the Lord.
Preach it bro!!!
i absolutely loved and needed this sermon. I have shared it so many times and re listened to it
Awesome message. For the longest time I have secluded myself and have only stayed connected to the head and not the church body. As of 6 months ago I joined Shoreline City church where I now serve as an usher. Leaving my comfort zone and selfishness was hard but I am glad that I did. Shout out to my pastor Earl 🤙🏻
This 😭🥰
You got to know that it takes time in life sometimes to create something beautiful ❤️ 43:17
Amen!
There is nothing that can take you away from God or the church. The church is a building, the people are the church. So never give up
Well said!😊😊😊😊

Amen ❤❤❤❤❤
There's no judgment because only God could judge us when it's our time.... Don't let anyone in the world tell you different.... 4:25
My sermon notes for "I still love the church":
1.) The church has a mission to elevate Christ. You need to still love the church because Jesus loves the church. The church belongs to Jesus
2.) God is using the church to make you like him, trust the process. In the same way God is building the church together, you can expect the mess, the bumps, things to be challenging and difficult at times. Expect the mess, being a part of the church means commitment when it's hard, laying down your personal preference not because they don't matter but because you have decided somethings matters more. Being a part of the church means sacrifice
3.) God uses the church to connect you to your purpose, align your soul to the giver. God has called you into something bigger, God will use buried dreams to resurrect better dreams.
4.) You're not limited when you are connected, you are limited when you are disconnected. Your purpose is connected to other people, get connected. Where you feel the tension is where you find your purpose, recognize yourself as the solution and not the problem, God wants to use you intentionally. The purpose of your gifts is to solve the problem that you recognize, God uses the church to connect you to your purpose, he uses the church as a context for the gifts he has given you to your purpose, developed and distributed. Your gifts was designed to impact the church, God gave you purpose but your purpose is connected to people.
5.) God uses the church to bring you into his presence, the presence of God is the promise of the gathered church, it commands the authority, the blessing, the favor and his presence to show up wherever you are gathered.
Thank you
Love this sermon really touched me amen
Amen 🙏🏾 I Love the Church
This was such a great message..God bless you and keep on keeping on.
I have been asked to leave 2 churches, Don`t judge. I didn`t fit the mold of what they wanted. God has shown me not to put my faith in people, just HIM. So I still seek HIM here.
I'm sorry that I has happened to you I don't fit the mold either I look younger and people say I look like a kid it's hard to sometimes because I wish I could just be like other people but we were never meant to fit the mold God made us exactly how it was supposed to be that doesn't make any mistakes we are perfect the way God made us and don't let nobody tell you different
I meant to say God doesn't make mistakes
I still love the church.......
Great sermon!
