Summit U | Church

What if you don't need a new place to become a new person?

We often convince ourselves that the right job, the right city, the right church, or the right circumstances will finally allow us to become who we're meant to be. So we wait for the perfect opportunity, keep looking for something better, or hold back from fully investing where we are.

But what if God is calling us to something different?

In this first message of our new series, In the City, For the City, Josh Schiel explores God's heart for place and what it means to faithfully invest in the places where He's planted us. Looking at Jeremiah 29 and God's words to Israel in exile, we discover that even in imperfect circumstances, God calls His people to put down roots, build relationships, seek the good of their city, and increase rather than decrease.

Because there is no perfect place. And you don't have to find one to make a difference.

God hasn't abandoned this world. He's committed to redeeming it. And He invites us to join Him in that work, right where we are.

What if the moments that feel like setbacks are actually part of the pathway God is using to move your story forward?

In this message, Josh explores the story of Joseph in Genesis 50 and the powerful truth that God can turn pits of pain into pathways of redemption. Even when life doesn't go as planned, our suffering is not the end of the story. Through faith, God can use our pain to shape us, serve others, and accomplish a greater good than we could have imagined.

A regression of circumstance can still be a progression of God's will.

What if struggling with God isn't a sign of weak faith, but a way our faith grows stronger?

In this message, Pastor Josh explores Genesis 32 and the story of Jacob wrestling with God, reminding us that faith doesn't mean hiding our pain, doubts, or questions. Through the practice of lament, we learn to bring our honest struggles to God, ask boldly, and trust Him even when our circumstances don't change.

Because sometimes overcoming isn't about changing our situation—it's about discovering how to hold on to God in the middle of it.

Struggle to strengthen. Wrestle honestly. Hold on to the Giver.

Suffering and loss are part of life, but where we turn in the midst of our pain matters. Through the story of Job, we explore how to navigate suffering by shifting our questions from "Why me?" to "Who are you, God?" and learning to trust the God who may not always explain our pain, but meets us in it through Jesus.

This week we are continuing our series going through Paul's letter to the church in Colossae, the book of Colossians. This young gospel community was faithful and receptive to the gospel, but was tempted to adopt aspects of other religions and world philosophies and combine them with the teachings of Jesus… a temptation remarkably similar to the ones we face today. In this letter, Paul exhorts the church to walk faithfully in the ways of Christ, and Christ alone. In the seventh message of the series, Summit U Pastor Josh Schiel closes out our series by teaching out of Philemon 1:1-25.
