Summit Christian Fellowship Sermons

Gratitude, Grace, and the Glory of God

True Greatness

This morning Pastor Ben dives into two stories that Matthew weaves together. The stories give us two visions of greatness - one that is false and one that is true.

The Gracious Generosity of God

The Wealth of Christianity

Kingdom Community According to Jesus (Pt. 2)

Jesus’ plan for rescuing his lost sheep is a church community that simultaneously takes sin seriously and extends grace radically. In this kind of community, healthy "gospel restoration" of one another, in our sin, is a regular practice.

Kingdom Community According to Jesus (Pt. 1)

In Matthew 18, Jesus gives his disciples four distinct characteristics of his kingdom community - humility, welcome, vigilance, and rescue. All are important, but all flow from this fundamental starting point…. childlike humility.

Mission

Community

Gospel

As we begin regathering in-person this fall, we're spending three weeks unpacking the core values that make us who we are at Summit. Join us as we dive into gospel, community, mission, the three values we build our life together around.

Re-Gathering Well - Part 2

We’re in a moment when our culture is increasingly polarized. Instead of bringing us together, COVID-19, government guidelines, politics and an array of other issues have driven us to our tribal corners, even within the church. So what do we do when we disagree with other Christians? In the second week of our series “Regather Well”, Pastor Ben dives into Paul’s answer to that question in Romans 14:1-15:7. This passage offers us a road-map for relating well to one another, even when our opinions ...

Re-Gathering Well - Part 1

With Jesus as Lord of all, knowing how to respond to other earthly authorities can be confusing for Christians sometimes. From Matthew 17:34-27 Pastor Ryan unpacks three principles for navigating these tumultuous waters with confidence, clarity, and hope.

Faith That Moves Mountains

Most of life isn’t a mountaintop experience. In Matthew 17:14-23 Pastor Ryan unpacks what is needed to thrive in life “down the mountain” where evil and suffering and unbelief exist. In this passage, Jesus calls his followers to a living faith in him.

Is Following Jesus Really Worth It?

Is following Jesus really worth it? There are times when we're just not sure. In this sermon, Pastor Ryan shows how the Mount of Transfiguration gives followers of Jesus a glimpse of his glory. This mountaintop experience is designed to strengthen our weak and fearful questions as we consider the cost of following him.

The Way of the King

Christians believe that Jesus is King, but what kind of King is he? In Matthew 16, Jesus shows us that he's not a king who conquers through power, but through suffering and death. And he calls his followers to the same.

The Most Important Question

How do you see Jesus? That question is the most important question you will ever answer. But it’s easy to not see Jesus for who he is. This morning Pastor Ben unpacks two ways for us to miss Jesus, and helps us see what it looks like when we really “get” him. Join us as we continue our series, Matthew, looking at Matthew 16:1-17.

Finding Jesus on the Water

Thanks for joining us for our virtual online service! This morning Pastor Ryan takes us through Matthew 14:22-36 where we see that Christianity is not superstition, that our faith is to fixate on Jesus and not the waves, and that the cross of Christ is the climax of God's care for you.

Making Sense of Reality

Pastor Ben continues our series in the Gospel of Matthew, looking at how Matthew 13:24-43 helps us make sense of reality.

Good Soil

As the message of Jesus goes out into the world, it is often rejected, at times it is received, only for it to slowly fade from a person's life, and at other times it is embraced. That divided response to the gospel can leave us feeling lost. Is Jesus really powerful to save? Is his message really true? This morning Pastor Ryan unpacks a story Jesus told that answers those questions. In Matthew 13, Jesus says his kingdom is less like a force of nature and more like a farmer who sowed some seed.....
