The Summit Church

Pastor Dave Turner walks us through 1 Corinthians 1:1-9.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 15, Pastor J.D. takes a look at how Paul responds to some of the Corinthians who are saying there’s no resurrection of the dead. In his answer, Paul shows them that belief in our bodily resurrection is as core a Christian concept as you can get. It’s not a secondary or peripheral belief; it’s at the core of Christian hope.

In this message from 1 Corinthians, Pastor J.D. talks about a topic as popular as it is misunderstood—love. Our society seems smitten with notions of love, but at the same time, we don’t seem to live in a fairy-tale land of love and grace. What does real love look like? And once we understand it, how can we, tangibly, become more loving? A dive into 1 Corinthians 13 shows us the most profound, powerful, and counter-cultural description of love ever written.

This podcast explores the concept of spiritual gifts in the context of the interconnected body of Christ. It discusses the importance of collaboration, interdependence, and faith in manifesting these gifts for the common good of the church. The speaker emphasizes being actively involved and known in the church community while encouraging listeners to discover their own spiritual gifts through serving.

In this message from Galatians, Pastor Bryan shows a connection between one of the most mysterious doctrines of the church and one of the most mundane. The mysterious one? The Holy Spirit. The mundane one? How we love one another. What we’ll see is that if we follow the lead of the Spirit, the same power that resurrected Jesus could begin to flow into every dimension of our lives. It all begins with a walk.

Pastor Curtis teaches us that as part of the body of Christ we all share the responsibility of bearing one another’s burdens.

In this thought-provoking discussion, the importance of communion is explored as more than a ritual; it's a profound encounter with Jesus. The conversation highlights the need for unity among believers and addresses social inequalities within the church. Serious consequences of irreverence in communion are underscored through impactful stories. Participants are encouraged to reflect, embrace forgiveness, and value authentic connections, reminding everyone that around the table, all are welcome. This message challenges listeners to engage sincerely in their faith.

In this message from Romans 15, Pastor J.D. challenges us to lift our eyes to the ends of the earth. When Jesus left his disciples, he promised that his gospel would go to every nation, tribe, language, and tongue. That task isn’t finished. And God is calling many of us to follow him to the most unreached parts of the planet. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it dangerous? Yes. Is he worthy of it? Absolutely.

As we celebrate the 20-year mark of The Summit Church, Pastor J.D. takes us on a march throughout history. Our journey doesn’t begin when we re-launched in 2002. It didn’t even begin when we were planted in 1962. It began 2,000 years ago, with 11 frightened disciples on a hillside outside of Jerusalem. In the last 20 years, countless saints from our church have gone to be with Jesus. What would they tell us if heaven were opened up, just for five minutes? What would they want us to do with what we have?
