Elevate Church SCV
Recorded Live: Nov 5, 2025 | First Wednesday at Elevate Jesus didn’t just demonstrate authority — He delegated it.

The Purpose & Power of Worship | Pastor Sy Goraieb
Elevate Church SCV
Recorded Live: November 02, 2025 Worship is the weapon God designed to transform you, unify His church, and drive back the enemy. Worship is not just music. It is not filler.

In this message, we examine why God established worship in the first place — not as a suggestion or a religious tradition — but as a holy system designed for purification and consecration. When we worship, walls come down, chains...
