Circumcision is a word that can often make us cringe. Being procedural, graphic and rather uncomfortable, it stirs up images we would rather not consider. Yet, for the Christian, it is a word of promise, representing a covenant the Lord established long ago. And Paul explains in the book of Romans how this covenant finds its spiritual fulfillment in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Listen to Pastor Efr...

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that we all suffer from insecurity. Whether it is in our jobs, our marriages, our churches or even our faith, we often feel as if we do not measure up. Worse still, our fears and sufferings exacerbate our insecurities and leave us in a constant state of "hamster wheeling" our way through the week. So what do we do with that? How does the gospel free us from th...

As we wrap up our series in the book of the Revelation, the final verses of God's written word are examined. How does the greatest story ever told end? After all of the judgment, plagues, destruction and wondrous visions the Apostle John sees, what does Jesus leave with him with? An invitation for all people to come to him... to find their rest, salvation and redemption in his accomplished work. W...

As Revelation comes to a close, the Apostle John is given his final vision of what's yet to come. The New Heaven and the New Earth are unveiled, Christ receives his Bride and all things are made new again. The description of life everlasting is is not merely the avoidance of hell or living in paradise. In the end, the greatest of all things occur... we get God! Listen to Pastor John's message from...

Revelation 19 & 20 are some of the most debated, intense and terrifying sections in all of Scripture. When King Jesus returns, he is not coming to die for the forgiveness of sins. He is coming to judge the world and throw Satan and all who belong to him in the lake of fire which burns forever and ever. The White Throne Judgement occurs, books are opened, accounts are audited and the culmination of...

Revelation 17 & 18 declare the fall of Babylon and the destruction of the great Prostitute. So what? How are these chapters of Revelation relevant to believers today? Do they serve as only a prophecy of what's to come or do they have a practical purpose? Do they speak into our current fears, hopes, sins and sufferings? Yes! The gospel stands in the midst of this great judgement, beckoning believer...

Who deserves the wrath of God? Who can possibly live up to His holiness? How are Christians supposed to hold two seemingly contradictory notions of God's eternal love and His plan to exact wrath on the very people He created? Finally, how can this possibly be good news? Pastor John explores the good news of God's wrath as we continue to on in our study of Revelation. The stark reality is that all...

The morning of the Resurrection was bathed in tears. Often overlooked, this momentous, earth-shattering, history-defining, universe-changing reality was actually deeply inefficient, painfully slow, and not what we would expect. As the Apostles remained scattered, a weary and weeping woman encountered Christ first... and one word from the Resurrected Lord changed everything.

What does Revelation 12-14 say to us today? How are we to understand the beasts, the dreaded 666 mark and should we be afraid of them? Pastor John explores not only what these things are but what they also clearly aren't. In the midst of Satan's temporary reign over this world, believers are called to remain vigilant and faithful. As we face into the fearful circumstances of the Apostle's vision,...

Throughout the book of Revelation, God reveals his cosmic plan for the end of all things. Amidst the destruction, judgement, hostility, pain and anguish, Revelation 10 and 11 speaks to the Christian's call to remain faithful during persecution, reminding them that their true hope, found only in their Savior will sustain them as they eagerly await to go home to be with him. Listen to Pastor John ex...

Does Jesus understand our suffering? Does he know what it's like to be one of us? While Christians are well acquainted with the message of Christ's sacrifice, we often forget that we have a Savior who identifies with all of our sufferings. Listen to Pastor Jeremy Cooper as he exposits Hebrews 4:15-16. Lean about the about our Savior who was a man of sorrows and well acquainted with grief.

As we move into the middle section of Revelation, chapters 8 & 9, the judgement of God begins to take center focus. As the seals, trumpets and eventual bowls of wrath are poured out upon an unrepentant world, the God of heaven continues to warn his creation of the wrath that is coming. Pastor John preaches on why God's warning of impending judgement is given because He loves his creation and wants...

As we continue our study in the book of Revelation, we arrive at chapters 6 & 7. In John's vision, he observes the Lamb breaking 6 of the 7 seals seen in the previous chapters and the beginning of the Lamb's wrath being poured out on a wicked world. He also sees the countless multitude of the saints in white robes, sealed by the Lamb. Pastor John reminds us that while we can expect to experience s...

Revelation 4 and 5 serve as the anchor for the entirety of the rest of the book. Pastor John explores what the Apostle John saw in Heaven's Throne Room and how the central focus is always God's glory completed through the finished work of our Slaughtered Lamb, Jesus Christ. In these chapters, God is worshipped and glorified, setting the stage for his full redemption to be enacted.

This week, Summit Ridge hosted the leadership of one the outreach programs we support: Not Forgotten. This ministry is located in Peru, serving 40 children who are housed, fed, counseled, ministered to and taught the skills needed to enter adulthood. These kids are often placed with the ministry from the Peruvian government and kept until the age of 18. Hear from founder Tyler Fuqua and associate...

In conclusion of Revelation chapter 3 and the various letters sent to the 7 churches, Pastor John reflects on the harshest of Jesus' letters. Here, we learn what makes Jesus wants to vomit, yet his resolve to move closer to people who think they don't need him.

Continuing our study in Revelation, Pastor John preaches on the letter to the church at Philadelphia. In it, we see how Jesus responds to faithful and ordinary churches as they live amidst a sinful and deceitful world. Jesus is seen as knowing them, loving them and promising them eternal citizenship in the family of God.

Pastor John continues our study through the book of Revelation. This week, the letter to the church at Sardis. This letter was a rebuke from Jesus to the church for having a false reputation of being spiritually alive even though they were dead and dying. He tells them to wake up, repent and remember Him.

Continuing our study of Revelation, Pastor John exposits on Jesus' words to the church in Thyatira. In this message, we learn that Jesus, in his mercy, does not tolerate sexual sin. Rather, he redeems his people from it and commands them to flee it.

Pastor John continues our study in the book of Revelation, focusing on the letter to the church at Pergamum. In this passage, Jesus is counseling a church who remains faithful to His name but is given a stark warning about drifting from the truth.
