Beyond the Summit

Jordan and Pastor Michael continue their conversation through the Endnotes sermon series with "The Rise of Babylon," exploring the origin, allure, and systemic nature of humanity's oldest counterfeit. Tracing the through line from the Garden of Eden and the Tower of Babel to Revelation 17, they unpack how culture attempts to seize God's power without His character. When false systems mimic the sacred, will we be swept away by the imitation, or can we spot the counterfeit before the Lamb wins the final hour?

When the weight of daily headlines and personal struggles starts to feel overwhelming, it is easy to wonder if our lives are simply caught in chaos without a greater purpose. In this episode of Beyond the Summit, we dive into Revelation 12 to zoom out on the grander cosmic conflict unfolding behind the scenes—learning how to faithfully confront the true enemy of our souls without turning our brothers and sisters into opponents, and discovering how ordinary endurance overcomes through the blood of the Lamb.

As the lines between religious influence and political power continue to blur, it is easy to wonder how the church can speak truth without compromising its mission. In this episode of Beyond the Summit, we dive into Revelation 10 and 11 to explore what it looks like to find, use, and keep our voice in a divided world—learning how to faithfully confront Babylon without adopting its coercive power.

Between escalating headlines, natural disasters, and global unrest, it's easy to wonder how close we really are to the end—and how much longer this journey is going to take. In this message from Keene Church, we walk through Revelation 8–9 and Matthew 24 to rethink what the apocalyptic alarms and the sounding of the seven trumpets are actually communicating.

Ever feel like the world is running on pure anxiety and power trips? In this message from Keene Church, we dive into Revelation 14 to call out Babylon’s fake security and the trap of trying to control everything on our own terms. Tune in to unpack why real rest starts with the Sabbath, how worship literally rewires an anxious brain, and why our best move isn't fighting dirty—it's simply singing louder behind the Lamb.

What happens when winning becomes more important than remaining like Jesus? In this episode, we dive into Revelation 13 and 17 to confront the seductive trap of chasing political control and civic power to secure God’s kingdom. You will discover why fear drives us to reach for coercive authority, and why we can never defeat the beast by becoming another beast. Tune in to explore what true, persevering faith looks like when we trade political dominance for the way of the Lamb.

Join Pastor Michael as he continues through the sermon series Endnotes: Hope for the Divided Faith of America.

Jordan and Pastor Michael return to the sermon series Endnote, this time exploring the specific implications of end-time events on our current geopolitical landscape. Has humanity lost the game, or does God still have one more move? 

When global chaos, shifting powers, and uncertain times make it feel like the enemy has us in checkmate, Scripture reminds us that history is never out of God's hands. Kicking off the new series Endnotes: Hope for the Divided Faith of America, this message dives into Daniel and Revelation to show that God reveals the future, reigns over earthly empires, and ultimately wins. No matter how hopeless the board may look, the King of Kings still has one more move.

What does it truly mean to bear the name of Christ? In this episode of Beyond the Summit podcast, guest speaker Yando Chifwepa explores the true calling of Christian discipleship.
