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.

Whoever Is of a Generous Heart...
In this message from Exodus 35, Pastor J.D. invites us to rediscover Godās 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.

The Mission of Renewal: 5 Practices
What does a bold, faithful witness to Jesus look like in 2025? After all, we're living in an age where Christianity is increasingly viewed as a problem, even an obstacle to be removed. In this week's message from Jeremiah 29, Pastor J.D. helps us see that we have a vital part to play in the renewal of our city. As we do our jobs with excellence, integrity, and grace, we not only reflect the gospel, but we ultimately display a foretaste of the world as God intended it to be.

How to Be a Godly Sinner
Psalm 51 is widely known as the psalm in which David confesses his sins related to Bathsheba and her husband. But in this weekās message, Pastor Bryan takes us through Psalm 32, revealing a look into Davidās heart in the year before he actually confessed. Like David, we sometimes have a tendency to be slow in confessing our sins, mistakenly believing that in these moments we should keep a safe distance from God. The truth, however, is that God is a safe place for us precisely because our sins have been covered by the blood of Jesus.
