The Summit Church Denver

What we believe about the future has a profound impact on how we live in the present. Peter concludes his letter telling us about the work God will do at the end, showing us how that should influence how we understand and take on the trials of today.

After reading Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands by Paul Tripp, Bryan Barley leads our second Going Deeper seminar on how to counsel one another through the struggles of life. Also includes interview with Melissa Turney on biblical counseling.

As Peter begins to draw his letter to a close, he delivers some difficult news: as we take on life's trials, God desires not just to create spiritual growth in us, but also place spiritual leaders over us. Peter uses this passage to explain what it lo...

Preaching for the first time at The Summit, Justin Almas shares how Peter instructs us on we ought to deal with the suffering and persecution that comes along with following Christ.

Throughout history, followers of Jesus have struggled to live God-honoring lives in cities that are hostile to what they believe. Peter explains how to navigate this trial, telling us how we can live a life that honors Jesus in a culture that is large...

When we're struggling we typically like the conversation to center on us, but Peter decides to shift our attention to the struggles of Jesus. Recognizing there is a healing power in Jesus' story, Peter challenges us to understand Jesus' suffering, dea...

It only requires a little self-reflection to recognize that some of our greatest trials have stemmed from an unhealthy approach to relationships and marriage. Peter shows us how to both approach and navigate a relationship in a healthy way to ensure t...

It's difficult to live as a stranger in a strange land. Peter shifts his focus in his letter to help us understand the specifics of our calling to live as "sojourners and exiles" and how that specifically applies to the issue of the politica...

We are called to not only be a committed participant in community, but in a particular type of community called the church. Peter explains to us the amazing nature of what the church is and how it should produce in us a deep commitment in response.

Peter tells us about the importance of placing our hope fully on Christ, as we battle everyday temptations of the heart and mind.

As Nehemiah enters into an extensive waiting period following receiving his call, we see that he devotes himself to work - specifically, his work and God's work.

We meet Nehemiah and see how God begins a great work in his life and city.

As we kick off a new series, we get a glimpse into the heart of our church, seeing how Jesus changes the lives of people today to exist for the good of the city in which they live.

As we conclude our series in Genesis, we see that at the end of Joseph's story that he has been changed by the grace God has shown him in his life. In the same way, so should our lives be changed as well.

When God seems silent and life is unfair, we have a question to answer and a decision to make: How do we trust that God is actually present with us?

As we look at Jacob and his wrestling match with God, we see that his fight for change in his life is not only longer and more difficult than we could ever imagine, but also something we can identify with in our own lives.

We meet Isaac's very dysfunctional family, and in the process not only learn about the consequences of family dysfunction but also about God's redeeming grace for this area of our lives.

We look at God's call on Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, and see a picture of the fruit in someone's life when they fully grasp the grace of God.

We look at Abraham's crisis of faith and tackle the question of whether faith in God is reasonable for us today.

We meet Abraham and in the process, not only see what it looked like for God to bring a call into his life, but also what it looks like for God to bring a call into our lives as well.

Like the Babylonians, we all long for a great cause to be a part of and a name to make great. God will graciously mess up our plans, though, and show us his cause and give us his name.

We look at how God will get involved in the world's brokenness in the story of Noah's ark, seeing how He brings both justice and mercy in His work to make all things good again.

The first people we encounter following humanity's exile from the garden are two brothers: Cain and Abel. In their story we not only see a case study of the impact of sin, but also God's capacity to provide victory over it.

Last week we looked at how God created everything good. This week, we not only see what went wrong, but how from the first sin God was committed to making all things good again.

As we begin our series in Genesis, we look at the story of Creation and God's commitment from the beginning of the world to make all things good.
