Summit Drive Church

This week, Pastor Ricky summarizes the book of Ephesians. A book that teaches us about reality—the reality that the earth is moved by things we can't see, can't fully understand, and can't control. And that the most important of those realities is the outrageous, generous, and abundant love of God.

As we wrap up our SHAPE series with our focus on what it means to function as “The Whole Church,” we are ending by noticing how the gospel of Jesus Christ provides a “new creation reality” where men and women serve God together. We’ll look at Acts 2 and then move to see how Paul recognizes the significant contribution of women and men together in Romans 16.

As we have been talking about using our spiritual gifts and abilities through our SHAPE series, it raises the important question: What does the Bible really teach on women and leadership in the church? This has been highly contested in recent years, and part of that stems from the meaning and application of Paul’s instructions to Timothy in 1 Timothy 2:11-15. In this message, we’ll look at the passage within the wider context of the Bible and Paul’s thought.

FOCUS Club stands for Fellowship Of College and University Students. It is the local chapter of International Student Ministries Canada (ISMC), a Canadian-wide ministry to International Students studying in Canada.

This week, we finish our SHAPE series by exploring our experience—the God-given resume each of us has for God's kingdom work. Pastor Ricky will walk us through discerning our 'God things,' pain, and limitations and how they can help us find our calling.

This week, Pastor Ricky explores 'Personality' with us—those default modes of operation we all have based on our biology, experience, and environment. He encourages us to be good stewards of ourselves by learning our personality so we know where to work with and against it.

In our study this week, we will look at Jesus’ parable of the talents in Matthew 25; taking a deep dive into what God expects us to do with all our God-given abilities. We’ll see the real warning of burying what we’ve been entrusted and the encouragement and motives to love God by giving him our best.

This week, Pastor Ricky explores what it means to have a wholehearted life—ministering alongside Jesus with our heart in it. We'll be invited to properly learn to listen to our hearts—and what that really means for Christians.

This week, Pastor Dave and Pastor Ricky explore how we can live our most purposeful and powerful life when we know and operate in our Spiritual Gifts. They give us a short survey of the gifts and some clues as to how we might know we have them.

This SHAPE series is a chance to consider, or reconsider, what God has made you for; to get back in touch with his good purposes – and the ways he’s gifted and called you to join him. Today, we’ll see the big picture of what it means to be fully human, fully alive to God and his purposes.
