The Summit Church

While we live in a time of much racial division and strife, we shouldn’t forget that Jesus did too. In this week’s message, Pastor Bryan invites us to reflect on a well-known story in John 4 where Jesus' encounter with a Samaritan woman left her forever changed—and was a powerful display of what it looks like to take the gospel across ethnic lines. Ultimately, only by aligning ourselves with Jesus' mission will we have any hope of accomplishing true ethnic unity.  

As we begin our series on ethnic unity, Pastor J.D. leads us through a beautiful passage in Ephesians 2 that speaks to the power of Jesus’ death and resurrection to do what we could not: break down the wall of hostility between us. Rather than being a distraction from the gospel and from our pursuit of the Great Commission, we’ll learn why ethnic unity is actually essential to these things. Despite the obstacles that often stand in our way, the effort and commitment needed to achieve ethnic unity are undoubtedly well worth it.

This week, Vance Pitman, founding pastor of Hope Church (Las Vegas, NV) shares a message with us from Exodus 34.

A person’s last words can often be very telling. In this week’s message, Pastor J.D. gives us a glimpse into a song that David wrote during an earlier time in his life, which serves as a summary of both his life and his ministry. From these “last words” of David, we can learn important truths about God—truths that sustained David, and that can sustain us through even the darkest of times.

Blue Ridge Campus Pastor Dustin Wells shares a message from Luke 19.

Pastor of International Missions, Julius Tennal II shares a message from John 13.

Our Apex Campus Pastor, Josh Ingram, shares a message from Mark 11.

In this week’s Palm Sunday message, Pastor John walks us through the triumphal entry of Jesus—an event that demanded a response, and ultimately, a crucial decision from those in Jerusalem. Two thousand years later, we find ourselves faced with a similar choice: Submit to the lordship of Jesus or reject his loving authority over your life. What will you choose? 

As we near the end of 2 Samuel, this week’s message from Pastor J.D. is one that examines the often far-reaching consequences of sin. These consequences played out not only in David’s life, but in the lives of many in his family. For those who have experienced the tragic results of sin, either your own or that of others, things may seem hopeless—but there is healing to be found in the true King who redeems and restores.
