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 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.

The Wonder of Jesus
When we think about reading Luke 2, our thoughts naturally turn to the story of Jesus’ birth. But what follows is the account of a man named Simeon, a man who marveled at the sight of Jesus because he knew that at last, salvation had come. In this week’s message, Pastor John takes us through Simeon’s story, showing us what we all should marvel at: the wonder of Jesus.

Prove Yourself
We've all heard the voice of that inner critic, telling us that we're not enough, that we need to constantly prove ourselves. It's exhausting to try to live up to the pressure we place on ourselves, to try to carry a weight that the gospel has already lifted. In this week's message from 2 Corinthians 2 and 3, Pastor Curtis explains how to let go of these weights and submit to the transformation that only the Holy Spirit can bring. Ultimately, transformation doesn't come from trying harder, but from spending time beholding the glory of the Lord.
