Summit Life with J.D. Greear

When something goes wrong in the world, we tend to look for someone to blame, like the other side of the political line, corrupt businesses, or the education system.

Prayer is a personal and intimate privilege in the life of every believer. But is there a way we can add power to our prayers?

A lot of us spend our lives trying to earn God’s approval. We’re plagued by guilt when we miss church or fall back into an old sin, and we feel like we have to make it up to God.  But Pastor J.D. reveals that salvation doesn’t work that way! It’s part of our series called, Mystery and Clarity.

When considering adoption, there are many costs and factors to take into account, but throughout Scripture, God repeatedly shows us he is willing to do whatever it takes to make us his children!  As he continues our series called, Mystery and Clarity, Pastor J.D. shows us the lengths that God went to in order to make us his own.

As Pastor J.D. continues our series called, Mystery and Clarity, he’s teaching from Acts 18 to 20 to help us understand the historical context for Paul’s letter to the church at Ephesus.

When we first give our lives to Christ, most of us are excited for this new adventure with God. We want to learn more, do more, and grow more! But then, the excitement fades, and our faith becomes part of the routine. We might even feel bored with our faith. But it’s not supposed to be that way! As he kicks off our new series called Mystery and Clarity, Pastor J.D. describes the radical life we can experience when we’re pursuing God.

As Christians, we know that the blood of Jesus has completely washed away all our sins. And sometimes when we hear that, we might start thinking of God’s grace as a “get out of jail free card.” But Pastor J.D. reminds us that being forgiven and justified before God, doesn’t mean we won’t still face consequences for our actions here on earth. It’s the conclusion of our study in Galatians called, Freedom in the In-Between. 

As believers, we know that, through the blood of Jesus, all of our sins have been completely forgiven. And yet, we still suffer the consequences for our mistakes. Why is that? Pastor J.D. tackles that question as he continues our series called, Freedom in the In-Between.
