Pastor J.D. Greear

Strong from Start to Finish

December 9, 2020

We’ve all had the experience of starting a new diet or workout routine. At first, we’re excited. But then, as it becomes routine, it gets a lot harder to keep sticking with it. And a similar effect can happen in our spiritual lives! As Pastor J.D. kicks off a new series called, Staying Faith, we’re learning how to persevere to the end in the race of faith.

In our workbook, this month, we’ll walk through Scripture from 1 Kings 17 through 2 Kings 6, through the ministries of Elijah and Elisha. Elijah confronted a religious environment very much like our own, one characterized by the attitude, “You have your god, and I have mine.” Elijah, one of the most fascinating characters in Scripture, shows us that knowing the one true God is better than every other rival. Then we’ll take some time to examine the life of one of the greatest miracle workers in all of Scripture: the prophet Elisha. The secret behind Elisha’s power here on earth was his fierce devotion to the God of heaven. Elisha left behind an amazing legacy in this life, not because he was thinking of this life but because he was focused on the greater things that were ahead. Reserve your copy now.

Pastor J.D. looks at the life of Abraham, a man who gives us a picture of how God wants to use all of us in the world. Abraham believed God for the impossible, and as a result, God multiplied his life. God wants to multiply our lives, too, but that journey begins when we take our hands off of everything we own and love and trust in—and venture into the unknown.

We come to the end of our time in 1 Peter. Our theme has been “together we endure”---together, we press through these tough times. Peter talks a lot about suffering, and frustration, and patience. It’s clear why this book is so relevant to us right now. The last few verses are about how not to simply survive in a hostile, cruel, chaotic world, but how to thrive.

In the middle of summer heat you know how good a moment of shade can feel. Like when you’re in a parking lot and look for the one tree to park under. Our Scripture from First Peter tells us how to experience shade from the harsh heat of the world and how to provide that kind of shade for others. Pastor J.D. explains how to experience good days in the midst of bad days on Summit Life.

We’re jumping into a sensitive and controversial subject: the biblical roles of husbands and wives. God has a reason for the way he set things up, and it reflects his enduring, beautiful purpose for marriage. We must allow the gospel to transform the way we think about marriage.

Between COVID-19 and the recent election, the amount of stress that comes with following the authorities set before us is at an all time high. The Bible clearly calls believers to submit to authority, but what about when those in places of power - whether it’s a parent, a boss, or the government - are morally corrupt?
