Summit Life with J.D. Greear J.D. Greear Ministries

Many people are being called on right now to glorify God in their hour of trial or in a situation where it is costly to obey him. In this message, Pastor J.D. Greear helps you understand why the way you view Jesus affects the degree to which you will be able to endure suffering well and how others will be blessed because of your faithfulness to God in the midst of your pain. 

One of the out workings of the gospel is that it will inevitably reorder your value system. This is exactly what we find in the book of Acts, in the life of an ordinary man name Stephen—he realized the value of the gospel and was willing to risk everything to preach it. It’s because of common people like Stephen—even more than the apostles—that the early church grew.

As human beings, our natural tendency is to focus on ourselves, as we try to cover up our flaws. But outward appearances can be deceiving, resulting in some serious consequences. We’re continuing our series in the book of Acts, titled SENT. Pastor J.D. explains how God’s forgiveness is the only real covering!

What characterizes a gospel-centered life? Praying? Going to church? Being kind to your neighbor? Pastor J.D. provides the answer as he continues our series titled, SENT. We’ve been discussing the birth and the multiplication of the early church, and our role in fulfilling the Great Commission today. We’re picking up in the book of Acts, Chapter 4.

What does a hero look like? Does they wear a red cape?  Do they shoot across the sky like a bird or a plane? Get ready for a real look at heroism as Pastor J.D. continues our study in the book of Acts. It’s part of our series called SENT.

When bad things happen, many of us focus so much on the problem that we lose sight of the solution. For a life-changing perspective, Pastor J.D. takes us back to the early church for a lesson from the book of Acts. We’re learning to put the focus on our faith, and not on our failures!
