Now Concerning the Spirit Stuff... Feb 27, 2022

Show notes

In this message from 1 Corinthians, Pastor J.D. takes a look at the (surprisingly controversial) topic of spiritual gifts. According to the Apostle Paul, God didn’t establish his church as a collection of individuals, but as an interconnected body. I need you; you need me. Where do we see that interconnectedness most? In our spiritual gifts. None of us—and none of our brothers or sisters—can truly flourish until we know and exercise our gifts. In God’s community, everybody has a special role to play. Every. Body. Including you.

Life in the Spirit Feb 20, 2022

Show notes

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.

Bearing One Another's Burdens Feb 19, 2022

Show notes

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

Why People Sometimes Die After Communion Feb 13, 2022

Show notes

In this message from 1 Corinthians 11, Pastor J.D. picks up the most fundamental element of Christian worship—the bread and the cup of communion. When we share this meal together, we aren’t merely remembering Jesus’ last meal. We are entering into his presence. Come to this table. There is no place for religious pride here. No place for classism. No place for racial division. But there is a place for you.

What Has God Called Me To? Feb 06, 2022

Show notes

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.

Jerusalem to RDU—and Beyond Jan 30, 2022

Show notes

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?

Demons, Doubts, and Dependence Jan 23, 2022

Show notes

In this message from Mark 9, Pastor Curtis walks us through a story of faith and doubt, desperate prayer and miraculous deliverance. If you’ve ever struggled in your walk with God, you’ll be encouraged to see that spiritual struggle is actually the portal to the power of God. So don’t shy away from your struggle. Lean into it. And watch as Jesus takes your puny, confused, flawed, mustard seed of faith—and does something you’d never expect.

The Fight for Faith Jan 22, 2022

Show notes

Pastor Chris walks us through Mark 9:14-18.

He/Her/Xem and Head Coverings Jan 16, 2022

Show notes

In this message from our “Cutting Through the Noise” series, Pastor J.D. walks through one of the most confusing and misinterpreted passages in the entire New Testament. Along the way, we’ll learn just how relevant first-century head coverings are for the hot button questions about gender (and gender identity) in the twenty-first. And we’ll see that in Christ’s service, every brother and sister finds unimaginable grace, inestimable value, and eternal purpose.

Pursuing Dust Jan 09, 2022

Show notes

In this message from our “Cutting Through the Noise” series, Pastor J.D. echoes the warnings of Paul in 1 Corinthians 10, showing us the dangers of (and the deliverance from) idolatry. Much of what we seek in life—success, romance, family—is good. But when we make these good things into essential things, we find ourselves eaten up with anxiety, strife, suffering, and sin. Only one identity is strong enough to be our foundation—servant of God.
