Summit Ridge Church

As we continue on in our summer series of messages, our friend Steve Henry shares from Jesus’ teaching to the disciples in Matt 9:37-38.   Where should we as believers place our efforts to be used by God to reach the world?  We focus in on the Harvest (those who need the gospel), prayer as the work because the harvest belongs to the Lord, and the Church as the workers that God chose to use in the harvest.

What a privilege to be called by God to share his hope in our world

Pastor Jeremy shows how Jesus' command to love your neighbor as yourself fleshes out in the work of employment, motherhood, retirement and more. In each section, he brings out common struggles and shows how scripture speaks to our day-to-day.

"Peace That Makes No Sense" (Philippians 4:6-7)

In a world filled with stress, fear, and anxiety, is real peace even possible?

In this message from Philippians 4:6-7, we explore the kind of peace that doesn't make sense a peace that surpasses all understanding. Not the kind the world gives, but the supernatural peace that comes only from God. A peace that anchors you in the storm, guards your heart like a soldier, and keeps you steady when life falls apart.

We journey with Nehemiah as he returns to Jerusalem—only to find God’s people compromising their faith and defiling what was meant to be holy. How do we respond when we see spiritual decline around us—or within us? With passion and humility, Nehemiah shows us what it means to pursue holiness in a world of compromise. Come and discover how his zeal speaks powerfully to our lives today, calling us to examine our hearts, our homes, and our church with fresh eyes.

A healthy church, reflecting the transformation seen in Nehemiah chapter 8, will show several key characteristics. This chapter describes a significant change occurring in the people's hearts and lives, showing not just in words but in actions. This change begins with a deep engagement with God's Word. 

Ultimately, we desire for the church to experience this kind of transformation seen in Nehemiah 8, moving from weeping over sin to the joy of the Lord, being doers of the Word and not merely hearers.

This message reminds us that God is always working — even when things feel broken, hopeless, or stuck. Through the story of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls, we’re challenged to see how God keeps His promises, reverses what seems lost, and restores what’s been broken. But the real work isn’t just about walls — it’s about hearts. Whether you’re feeling stuck in waiting, wrestling with fear, or realizing the ways you’ve drifted, this sermon encourages us to come back to Jesus — the One who restores and redeems.
