The Summit Church Denver

Life involves hardships, and those hardships demand perseverance. The followers of the Christian movement faced hardships early on, and by examining their response to those hardships we can learn how to handle the hardships we encounter.

Sometimes the most bizarre stories reveal the most beautiful truths. This is particularly the case for tonight's text that centers on the death of a married couple that is working against the movement's progress. While on the surface it seems off-putt...

When fears and challenges arise, we tend to either take action or shut down. But as the apostles face their own crisis, they decide to pray. We look at the centrality of prayer in our lives, and how our understanding of God as a loving Father can chan...

Every movement throughout history faces opposition at some point. The Christian movement, however, is not set back, but advanced because of opposition, as God's people are strengthened by the Holy Spirit.

The most famous world movements have typically ignored those who are marginalized within their culture. However, at the Christian movement's origins is a story where two people - Peter and a man lame from birth - have the most unlikely of encounters. ...

As the Christian movement gained momentum, it never lost site of the primacy of community. We study the first church and see how their priorities within their community should be ours as well.

Many causes only give us their most glamorous glimpses of their efforts in order to get us to buy in. The Christian movement's origins are different, in that the first believers made a point of clearly and regularly communicating what it really means ...

While the Holy Spirit is often neglected and misunderstood, He is the power behind the movement that exploded in the book of Acts. We study the Holy Spirit, seeing not only the power He exercised two thousand years ago, but also how He is moving today...

We're a cause-driven culture, perpetually craving a cause bigger than ourselves to give our lives to. As we begin the book of Acts, we see Jesus acknowledge our longing for a movement, and clarify exactly what his movement is.

Despite how difficult it may be for us to comprehend eternity, what we believe about eternity influences what we believe about everything else. Paul shows us how the resurrection not only gives us a hope for eternity, but a hope that breaks into today.

No matter our upbringings or experiences, we all tend to carry an anxiety over the future. Paul addresses this struggle we all have over the future, pointing to us to how the resurrection changes our understanding of what the future holds.

The resurrection changes both how and why we live the way we do today, giving us the hope that because we are made alive through Jesus, we're more than animals enslaved to our instincts, but redeemed sons and daughters of God.

We look at how the resurrection of Jesus practically impacts our past, seeing how we can stop being defined by what we've done five years ago, and start finding our identity in what Jesus did 2,000 years ago.

Being a culture that thrives on change, we're naturally enticed by stories of transformation. We look at one of the most powerful stories of change in human history, where a man named Paul goes from terrorism to the pastorate because of a single encou...

We conclude our Signs series by looking at Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. In this astonishing, challenging sign, Jesus reveals the full character of who he is and why we should believe and build our lives on him.

As Jesus heals a man born blind, he makes a startling claim that he's meant to bring judgment into our lives. We examine this audacious claim and see how even though we may bristle at Jesus' words at first, believing this to be true is actually very g...

What we believe about Jesus is essential to our faith in Jesus. If we don't get this right, we won't get anything right when trying to follow Him.

Jesus isn't concerned just that we believe, but more importantly what is the object of our belief. In his second sign, Jesus encounters a father trying to save his dying child, and reveals that he is meant to be the true object of our faith.

Every week we face a wide range of needs, but John says our greatest need is one of belief. As we kick off our Signs series, we look at how Jesus turned water into wine, and how this

We talk about where we've been and where we're going as a church, not just in 2013, but in the many years to come.

It's easy to be confused both about the mission of our church and of our lives. In order to clear up the confusion, we look to the words of Jesus, who not only stresses what our mission is, as well as how crucial this mission should be.

Community is the one thing so many people in our city want, while at the same time so struggle to obtain. We look at why we so desire community, why it's so hard to find it, and how the church is God's plan for this need.

As we begin a new year, the most important thing you could know and that we could believe as a church together is who Jesus is and what Jesus has done for you. This is the gospel, and it changes every part of our lives.

For our brief Christmas homily, we take a look at the fulfillment of God's promises through the angels who sing the good news of the gospel.

Jesus' adoptive dad, Joseph, is often one of the most overlooked characters in the Christmas story even though he may be the most relatable. We look at Christmas through the eyes of Joseph, and see how the challenges he faced are so similar to the cha...
