As Christians, the love that we have received from God is, in the words of hymn writer Frederick Lehman, “greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell.” But God doesn't give us good gifts with the intention that we keep them to ourselves. In this wee... more

The book of Philippians is full of paradoxes, one of the most profound being how Paul experiences true freedom even while in chains. His confidence, after all, was never in the possibility of God changing his circumstances, but in God sustaining him ... more

When we consider some of the great missionaries of the past, whether the Apostle Paul himself or people like Adoniram Judson and William Carey, we often wonder how they endured under such difficult circumstances. Not only that, but how could they pos... more

    I am a new attendee from middle school ministry into High School now, and every time I either attend in person, or listen from home, it is always so beneficial for my heart, my spirit, and my faith. I thank the pastors, worship team, and everyone helping bring these words into my heart. It is really a blessing for me to learn new things, and grow closer to God.

    Pastor JD - Thank you for your faithfulness to the call. I listen to your sermons each week and the other pastor’s as well. The one June 6th on Paul’s thorn was beyond timely in my life. My kids and grandkids live in Wake Forest, and I always encourage them to PLEASE visit Summit Church!! ( PS my son is also a Nicholas Cage fan )

  • Perfect for strengthening your love and devotion to Christ

    I love listening to the sermons from this church!

    They dive into scripture and pull the truth from it, not using it to qualify their own sense of truth.

    JD Greear speaks in such a strong and sometimes matter-of-fact way, but you hear his pastors heart in each sermon that the convictions and corrections are felt as a loving discipline from someone who cares for us.

    Keep up the good work in Christ, through Christ for His glory and our joy!

  • Encouragement

    This sermon series, this entire channel actually, has been a tremendous blessing. I was really discouraged and downtrodden and I stumbled upon this channel, looking for something to lift me up and bring me back on the right track and this helped me get back in line to where I needed to be. Please keep the sermons coming and stay strong in the Lord.
