The Summit Church

In this message from Exodus 35, Pastor J.D. invites us to rediscover God’s purposes for our church. Like the Old Testament people of God, we are living in a moment of new beginnings; and we believe God wants to write a new chapter through the Summit. God has done great things for us, liberating us from the slavery of sin. Now he invites us to become a part of his rescue plan for our neighbors and the nations.

If there's one myth surrounding marriage that has been perpetuated by our society, it's that marriage is what completes you. Of course, Jesus refuted this idea over and over in his teachings. In this week's message from Mark and Luke, Pastor J.D. shows us the importance and implications of considering the church as family. When we take this seriously, we will realize that faithfully investing in this family will yield a harvest far beyond what we could ever imagine.

The book of Philippians is full of paradoxes, one of the most profound being how Paul experiences true freedom even while in chains. His confidence, after all, was never in the possibility of God changing his circumstances, but in God sustaining him no matter what. In this week’s message from Philippians 1, Pastor Curtis reveals three more aspects of “the good life,” a life that makes sense only when our perspective is the same as Paul’s: To live is Christ, and to die is gain.

When we consider some of the great missionaries of the past, whether the Apostle Paul himself or people like Adoniram Judson and William Carey, we often wonder how they endured under such difficult circumstances. Not only that, but how could they possibly be joyful in the midst of these trials? In this week’s message from Philippians 1, Pastor Bryan shows us that what these heroes of the faith had in common was a radical perspective: Everything in life is an opportunity to advance the gospel. Whether in the marketplace or overseas, we all have a call to live on mission for God.
