I want to ask you to turn to Luke Chapter 17 and Psalm 150. So we're going to begin in

Luke 17 and then we will flip over it sometime in the message to Psalm 150. So if you'll put a marker at Psalm 150 and open

your Bibles to Luke 17. We're in a series entitled Elevate, breaking through to New Levels in Life.

And we're talking about five levels.

You can see them on the banners up here.

Faith, family, finances, freedom, and fun.

And we're taking four weeks on each one how to go to a new

level in your faith your relationship with God how to go to a new level in your

family we'll begin that next week by the way pastor Jimmy Evans will be here next weekend to start

that four-week series on family. If you've heard him you don't want to miss it because

there's not a better communicator I know of that's more practical and funnier than Jimmy Evans when it comes to family.

And so he'll be here next weekend to start off that four week session, all right?

But we're talking about this is our last one on how to go to a new level in our faith, our personal relationship with God.

And I'm real excited about this title and I really believe that. I didn't just try to come with a catchy title.

I really believe what I'm telling you.

This week the title is The Shortcut to a new level.

Now wouldn't it be great if there was something you could do that immediately it was like a shortcut in the kingdom that would take you to a new level.

Two weeks ago I preached on the 15 minute breakthrough.

How am I want to know how many of you are having good quiet times in the past couple weeks?

Can I see your hands? Good, good. That's wonderful. having good good

that's wonderful and so anyway I'm talking about a shortcut how many of you have ever

climbed or walked up a mountain can see your see your hands? All right?
