Summit Life with J.D. Greear

As we go through our days, we might notice the needs and interests of other people around us, and sometimes we’re empathetic to those things. But at the end of the day, those interests of others are almost always secondary to our own. Pastor J.D. shows us just how important the interests are of those we love! We’re studying Chapter 5 of the book of Ephesians.

Pastor J.D. helps us answer the question, “What are you looking for when you yearn for love and romance?” We’re going to deal with our expectations in marriage and what God’s plan is for singleness as we continue our study of Ephesians 5 called First Love.

Our culture often acts like romantic love is the pinnacle of human existence. From our earliest days, we read about storybook characters finding their “happily ever after” with their soulmate. But, is that really how it works? Pastor J.D. gives us a balanced, biblical view of marriage and singleness as he continues our new series on relationships called First Love in Ephesians 5.

In our series called First Love, we’re dealing with some common pitfalls and struggles in relationships, whether those are romantic relationships, friendships, or anything else! And we’re kicking it off by getting a biblical perspective on the purpose of marriage. It’s a drastic shift from what our culture usually portrays!

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be? Meal time was just as important to the life of Jesus as it is in our lives today. Pastor J.D. dives into Luke 14 in our new series called Come to the Table where Jesus tells several parables comparing the kingdom of God. Lost people are found, broken people are put back together, addicts are set free, lonely people find community, and sins are forgiven at Jesus’ table.

Today we conclude our series on the parables called, Listen. What we’ve learned in this series is that Jesus spoke in parables so that those who weren’t really listening, from their heart, would miss the meaning of his words. All throughout his ministry, Jesus explained that if your heart is in the right posture, and you have ears to hear, then the truth about him will be evident.

Sometimes it’s easy to look at history and assume we won’t repeat the same mistakes. We feel like we’ve learned from the past and look down on the actions of previous generations. But what’s different about our hearts? Pastor J.D. Greear encourages us to look at our own hearts today as he continues our series called, Listen.
