Summit Life with J.D. Greear

As we continue our study of the book of Hebrews called, Christ is Better, we’re discovering how the good news of the gospel is revealed throughout the entire Old Testament. On this edition of Summit Life, we’re looking at the Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, and seeing shadows of the gospel in this sacred holiday. It all points to the blood of Jesus that takes away our guilt and shame forever!

If you’ve been in church for any length of time, you’ve probably seen people who you thought were genuinely saved and passionate about Jesus, but then they turned away from God completely. How is that possible? Once you’re saved, aren’t you secure forever? Pastor J.D. addresses that issue as he continues our series in Hebrews called Christ is Better

Once you’ve been saved, you’re secure forever. You can’t ever lose that salvation. Or can you? As Pastor J.D. continues our series in Hebrews called, Christ is Better, we’ll find the biblical proof of true, saving faith. It may not be the most comfortable topic, but it’s absolutely essential for each of us to evaluate where we stand with God.

There are some characters in the Bible that everyone’s familiar with, like Moses, King David, and of course, Jesus himself. But on this edition of Summit Life, Pastor J.D. leads us through the story of a lesser-known figure, a man who only appears in a handful of verses. But, as we’ll see, this mysterious character is essential for understanding Jesus’ role as both our High Priest and King. We’re in Hebrews chapters 5 and 7, and we’re continuing our series called, Christ is Better.

On this edition of Summit Life, we’re continuing our study in the book of Hebrews called, Christ is Better. We’ve come to one of those unusual passages that most people just sort of scratch their heads and ignore. It’s about a mysterious Old Testament figure named Melchizedek, who provides an important picture of Jesus’ role as High Priest and King.

Most of us are running so hard after success, we miss out on God’s best for us! On this edition of Summit Life, Pastor J.D. describes the danger of busyness and the benefits of resting in God. We’re in chapter four of the book of Hebrews, with a study called, Christ is Better.

If there’s one thing Americans are proud of, it’s busyness. Everyone feels the pressure to work harder and longer, to take on more jobs to get the next raise and be “successful.” But on this edition of Summit Life, Pastor J.D. challenges us to be obedient to God, and to slow down and enjoy the blessing of rest. In fact, Pastor J.D. reveals that your ability to rest in God will determine the course of your entire Christian walk! It’s part of our study of Hebrews called, Christ is Better.

What fears control you, drive your decisions, or keep you up at night? Is it fear of disappointment, or fear of missing out? Fear of death, pain, loneliness, or rejection? Pastor J.D. describes how you can be freed from whatever it is that’s controlling you as he continues our series in the book of Hebrews called, Christ is Better.

If you’ve been listening to Summit Life for a while, you’ve probably heard Pastor J.D. say that the gospel is the difference between Christianity and every other religion. We’re diving into that topic as we continue our series called Christ is Better, discovering how the gospel flips the script of religion and frees us from every fear and every chain.

In a brand new study of the book of Hebrews titled, Christ is Better, we’re taking an in-depth look at how all the stories in the Old Testament are pictures and signs that point ahead to Jesus. Jesus is the single focus of the whole Bible, he’s the pinnacle of history, and he’s God’s Final Word.

The book of Hebrews is one of the more complicated and complex books of the New Testament, nevertheless, for those with the patience to mine its depths, studying Hebrews will unlock a deeper relationship with Christ as you discover that he is better than anything this world has to offer.

What are the core components of the gospel centered life? As we wrap up this study on King David, J.D. Greear finds the answer by looking at David’s end-of-life legacy, and the way in which he responded to God’s judgment and mercy by pointing to an even greater King who was yet to come.

David may have been a man after God’s own heart, but he also made some terrible mistakes. In this message, we’re studying 1 Chronicles 29:10-22 to discover how David’s response to his most devastating sin is a crucial part of what makes him a great example for our lives. It’s part of our series called, Search for a King.

The Bible records two different versions of the end of David’s life: One in 2 Samuel, and one in 1 Chronicles. One version focuses on David’s failures and lack of faith, while the other reveals God’s redemptive power. And both of them point ahead to the coming Savior! That’s our subject as we continue our series called Search for a King.

Why would a census from a king, known as a “man after God’s own heart,” incite divine wrath? In this message, Pastor J.D. teaches from one of the most perplexing stories in the Old Testament, a story that occurred near the end of David’s incredible life. It’s part of our series called, Search for a King.
