Summit Church Sermon Podcast

One of Ten Commandments is “honor your father and mother.” As children, we do this through direct obedience. As young adults, through respect and listening. But how do we do that as our parents age? Scripture contains crucial pointers where any Christian of aging parents can find help.

This was week 1 of a new teaching series called, "The Game of Life." We all know that life is no game, but much like the Milton Bradley adaptation, it is often full of twists and turns. In this 5-week series we will look at some of the unique seasons in life, how to navigate them, and how to support others who are in the middle of them.

It's Resurrection Sunday at Summit Church! That means we're celebrating the power of the resurrection of Jesus!

This amazing day resonated throughout history and still impacts our lives today...Because of the resurrection, we share in Jesus' victory over sin, victory over death, and our lives will never be the same!

Jesus is the only King who withstands the test of time, but much of the world is confused about who Jesus is and what He has done. People who know a little bit about Jesus can easily come to erroneous conclusions and end up far from the Truth. All the more reason to engage the world with the Gospel!

In this conclusion to the Bulls & Bears series, Pastor Dan gave us an important message about the other 90% of our money. God should get our first 10%, but we should also use the other 90% the best we can, in a way that gives God glory!

In the midst of living in a money saturated world, Jesus aligns us to the truth that there are two competing kingdoms where we can invest. One is temporary and one is eternal. In which kingdom will you invest?

This week at Summit Church, we start a new equipping series entitled "Bulls & Bears." No, it's not a series on Chicago sports teams. This 3-part series will look at Biblical principles to help us advance our understanding of being stewards of God's resources.

You don't have to be a Christ follower to put these principles into practice. These principles pertaining to our financial lives will benefit anyone. But for the Christ-follower, they will have a profound spiritual impact.

In this final week of Global Gospel, we take a look at the persecution of Christians around the world. As followers of Jesus living in America, we can easily insulate ourselves from the religious persecution of our brothers and sisters.

We cannot afford to ignore the reality of Christian persecution. We must become more aware so that we can lift up those who are paying a high price for the name of Jesus.

In week 3 of Global Gospel, we take a look at today's global issue of poverty. Poverty is much more than just not having money, it is phenomenon caused by differences in cultures, economies, religions, and lifestyles. Probably one of the biggest contributions to poverty is indifference, and Christians are as guilty of this as anyone.

The answer to poverty is not simple or easy. Just throwing money at it will not solve it. So, what does God say about poverty? Does it break His heart? Does it break yours?

In week two of "Global Gospel," we continue to widen our view of the world around us. This week, we're taking a look at the injustices that happen in the world around us and try to understand them from a Christian perspective. Why does so much evil prevail in our world? What is our part in bringing about God's desire for justice?
