Trust Me - Week 1 - Clear Up The Mix Up by The Summit Church

We’ll finish this series with a clear look at our true identity as a church, together. Although identity is a personal thing, it’s also an organization thing. Together, we are the “body of Christ”. Together we can do, be, and experience things we could never do, be, and experience on our own. Together, we have a mission and purpose that includes us yet is so much bigger than any of us. We’re gonna...

Identity Crisis - Week 4 - Jamestown - We Are The Church by The Summit Church

It’s not enough to know who you are. You’ve got to find a way to maintain who you are. It is very easy to “lose” who you are in the complexities of life and living. We get so busy that we get lost. We begin to associate our jobs with who we are, and we get lost. We resign ourselves to stop dreaming and believing, and we get lost. We even get lost in our relational roles. In fact, Satan’s goal is f...

Identity Crisis - Week 2 - Oak Ridge - Identity Security by The Summit Church

We naturally associate our own identity and the identity of each other with the things that we do and the things that happen to us - basically our story. We become known for and by what we do, what we experience, and how we respond. Unfortunately, that is a very shallow foundation for true identity. Thankfully, God sees things at a much deeper, truer level; and invites us to do the same. Our ident...

Generous - Week 4 - “Why” Matters by The Summit Church

Generous - Week 4 - Why Matters - Oak Ridge by The Summit Church

There is a perfectly good reason we choose not to live and give generously. It makes sense to us but goes against the way God sees things and how He wants us to see things. It’s something no one teaches us to think; we just intuitive assume it to be true. It’s what makes us cautious and leads us into stingy behavior. It’s all about how you choose to see what you have, what you don’t have, and what...

None of us like it when those around us are approaching life and relationships and jobs and responsibilities with a “barely get by” way of thinking. A minimalistic mindset is not just unattractive, it’s dangerous and unfortunate. While we know not to take this posture when it comes to our career, education, and relationships, we often bring this mindset to matters of giving and generosity with the...

One of God’s most defining and most obvious characteristics is His generosity. God is simply a giver. He goes beyond what’s expected in how He deals with us and treats us. As His children, we must reflect His character to the world around us. What does it look like to not just “be” generous, but actually live a generous life? What gets in the way of us doing this. We all would rather not be charac...

Faith is something we naturally want to share. The more we grow in our faith, the more we want to share it with others. To NOT share your faith, what God is doing in your life, with others is unnatural. Fortunately, there are about as many unique ways to share your faith as their are people. We all get to make it our own and tell our unique story. It’s as easy as inviting someone to church and as...

Faith will eventually, always be tested. Faith will not go untested. And when our faith is put to the test by pain, problems, and challenges we have to dig deep and lean into our relationship with our Heavenly Father. We’re talking about times when not even our closest friends can provide for us what our soul needs to keep going and growing in faith. God has given us His Word and welcomed us to co...

Living by faith is what it means to follow Jesus. Living by faith is all about taking steps that put our faith in Jesus into tangible, measurable action - for us to see, and for others to see. God is the only one that can see our hearts and the faith it contains; the rest of us need something to see and measure. God has given us several easy to identify steps to take that help propel our faith to...

Our faith in God truly begins to take shape when we respond to who Jesus is and what Jesus has done for us. God always meant for Jesus to be the object of our faith. And the amount of faith we have is never as critical as who our faith is in, the object of our faith - Jesus. Once we are living by trusting in Jesus, we have a foundation that will support our journey with God. Everything in the Chri...

It is very common for people to describe their connection to God (or relationship with Jesus) in terms of their church attendance. We naturally associate church attendance and involvement with the benchmark of what it means to follow Jesus. While it is certainly a very important part of the story, attending church is not the primary reason Jesus gave His life for the you and me. It’s more than att...

The only miracle (other than the resurrection) to be recorded by all 4 gospel account writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), Jesus fed a minimum of 5,000 people - probably closer to 15,000; and all he had to work with was 5 loaves and 2 small fish from a young boy. This miracle teaches us what Jesus can do with a “little” when we give to him. But the point is not the size of the gift, but ability of...
