Elder Blessing By: Blake Hudspeth As those who have been saved by grace and given a holy calling, may God fan into flame the varied gifts of grace He has given to each of you. May your life be marked with all the fullness of God. As His Spirit does the work of conforming you into the image of Jesus, may you be strengthened with power, perfected in love, and obedient through self-control. Go out in...

ELDER BLESSING By: Jason Cooney Same Spirit Holy Spirit, you’ve been with us all along. You hovered over the waters in the beginning, witness to the glorious work of the Father and Son in creation. From the lips of Isaiah, the Father promised You to us, that you would never depart from us. With Ezekiel’s voice, the Father proclaimed he would put You in us, replacing hearts prone to wander with one...

The Story of God and His People Genesis 1:1-4 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:2...

The Gospel message is news to be heralded, not advice to take heed of. It isn’t bad news or mundane news. It’s amazing news that is so good that it must be shared. No one has ever heard an incredible news story and kept it to themselves. The message that God has come to save His people was a message the angels couldn’t wait to share with a few lowly shepherds, because they knew this news would cha...

Joseph was a man that God used to bring blessing to his city and nation. He endured suffering and hardship by walking in faith and the result was that the city and nation were blessed! We are also called to be a people of good reputation who see the welfare of our cities. Let's lean into what God has for us as we engage the cities He has placed us in.

"By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise”.  God is always calling His children to take steps of faith. To step into places or seasons that don't make sense to our finite minds. Journeys of faith require us to keep our eyes on God because...

Noah had never seen rain. He didn’t know what a boat was. Yet he believed beyond what he could see, and in so doing he saved his family and generations to come. Will we be people who believe beyond our current generation? Will we do whatever it takes to see salvation come to the generations coming behind us? We can only do that by faith.

Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith it is impossible to please him.” If we want to live lives that are pleasing to the Father, we must live lives of faith. Hebrews 11 tells the stories of men and women who did just that. They believed beyond what they could see because their sights were set on Heaven. Everything rises and falls on faith. The first person listed in the Hall of Faith is a surprise, a...

Elder Blessing By: Jonathan Burgin Summit Church may you love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. May Christ himself always hold the rightful position as King of your life. May you set your hope anew on God, not forgetting His many miracles, and never neglecting His commands. And because of your sincere devotion to HIM, may you model to the next gene...

Elder Blessing By: Steve Graham Jesus, when you ascended all that remained were 11 men standing in the middle of the road silently staring at the sky perplexed about what was next. They expected that you would establish your “promised” Kingdom ruling over all Israel. Instead, you handed over a different kind of kingdom that would start in Jerusalem, then extend to all Judea, to Samaria, and finall...

Our faith grows, and joy increases during suffering as we turn to God in prayer and praise. James instructs the church to pray with the elders. The literal and symbolic oil represents setting someone apart through prayer for special attention and care before God Who alone can heal. Not only should the elders pray for people, but so should the whole church because God answers prayer! He answered pr...
