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.

It can be easy, particularly in a large church, to slip in and out unnoticed and never truly experience community. But when we do this, we are missing out on how God intended his church to function: as a family. In this week's message from Philippians 2, Pastor Bryan shows us just how vital this sense of community is, and how we each play a role in creating and sustaining it. As Christians, there really is nothing that quite compares to the bond we share through the gospel of Jesus.

The Apostle Paul’s charge to “work out your own salvation” can, at first glance, seem contradictory to the idea that our salvation is something that can’t be earned. But when we read the rest of the sentence, we see that what Paul is talking about is the process of sanctification, where God continues to work in us throughout our entire lives. In this week’s message from Philippians 2, Pastor Curtis helps us unpack the practical implications of this rich theological truth. Yes, salvation is a gift we receive—but it’s also a life we live.
