Summit Church Herndon

Petie Kinder // In a society where money often defines worth, it can be hard to know how to handle it. But when we remember that God gave first and gave his best, we're invited to do the same—managing money wisely and giving generously to show that God isn't after our money; he's after our hearts.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // We live in a world that says your worth is what you achieve—but what if that's a lie keeping you exhausted, distracted, and spiritually empty? This week, we'll confront the god of achievement and discover the freedom found in resting our identity not in success, but in Jesus.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Kailey Newkirk // When we put ourselves at the center—trusting our own desires over God's—we often find that pride and insecurity lead us to pain, not peace. But even in that pain, God's grace is present, gently exposing our false gods so we can be freed to follow him.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // Life feels loud right now—for many, the noise is coming from all directions: the world, the Church, and even within our own Summit community. With what's happening around us, shifting seasons, and what we're walking through personally, people are carrying a lot. But in the midst of uncertainty, there's an invitation: to name what we're facing and to anchor ourselves in the peace of Jesus.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Katie Evans // Marriage can be a living picture of God's unshakable love—a love that welcomes, forgives, and invites others in. When we open our homes and hearts with humility and intention, our relationships become a powerful witness to a world longing for something real and lasting.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Chris Timson // Marriage is a reflection of Christ's love for the Church—a love defined by sacrifice, service, patience, and submission. His example should lead us to pause, reflect, and ask: Does my marriage reflect Jesus?Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // This week, we are challenged to guard our relationships—whether in marriage or singleness—with intentionality and humility, even in seasons of routine. Complacency can creep in, but choosing connection keeps love and purpose strong.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // Marriage isn't something you fall into—it's something you build. Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, God calls us to fight for each other, not against. Love is still worth the fight, and it's always worth pursuing.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Johnny Outing // To move forward as radical followers of Jesus, we need to look back at the early Church. In Acts 2, people were baptized, made new in faith, met urgent needs, and lived in deep community. They blazed a path of bold, transformative faith. In a world shaped by individualism and distraction, we're challenged to do the same—letting our faith reshape how we show up, love others, and live with purpose.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // In the story of the road to Emmaus, we're invited to see Jesus in a deeper, more meaningful way. Even in our moments of confusion and doubt, he walks with us—gently shifting our perspective and guiding us toward hope. And when our eyes are opened to who he truly is, everything begins to change.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Katie Evans // We've all experienced suffering—through loss, grief, or pain. As Jesus hung on the cross, his mother Mary endured the heartbreak of watching her son suffer in unimaginable ways. Yet even in that moment of deep sorrow, there was beauty—because Jesus met Mary in her suffering, just as he meets us in ours.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // There is a powerful contrast between the two thieves crucified alongside Jesus. One thief mocks Jesus, refusing to see him as Savior, while the other humbly acknowledges his own guilt and turns to Jesus in faith. This moment illustrates the choice we all face—whether to reject or embrace the grace Jesus offers. Even in his darkest hours, Jesus extends mercy, proving that no one is beyond redemption.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // Barabbas and Jesus share a powerful exchange—a guilty man set free while the innocent Son of God took his place. This moment serves as a vivid picture of the Gospel, where Jesus bears the punishment we deserve so we can walk in freedom. But with that freedom comes a choice: will we honor God, love others, stand for truth, and serve with humility, or will we take the easy way out?Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // Pontius Pilate appears only briefly in the Gospel narrative, but his role is extremely significant and forever linked to the fate of Jesus. Despite recognizing Jesus' innocence, Pilate prioritized political convenience over conviction, mirroring the struggles we face in standing for truth today. This message challenges us to ask, What will we do with Jesus?—will we surrender to his truth or adjust it to fit our own preferences?Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Katie Holland // Judas' story is a sobering reminder of how secret sin and shame can separate us from God. We'll begin our series, The Darkest Hours by exploring his betrayal of Jesus, his tragic end, and the grace that was always available to him. Through Judas' choices, we are challenged to confess, repent, and hold fast to the mercy of Christ, who invites us into restoration.

Bishop Oscar // This Sunday, we have the incredible privilege of hearing from Bishop Oscar Muriu, leader of all Nairobi Chapel churches and a passionate advocate for raising up African leaders in the global church. Bishop Oscar will be diving into The Greatest Commandment—what it truly means to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. It is a powerful message that will challenge and inspire us to live out our faith with deeper devotion and greater love.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Garry Abbott // Making prayer a part of our lives can be a difficult task—it's hard to know where to start and what it looks like. This week, we'll explore prayer as an act of relationship, gratitude, and defiant hope. As we embrace these aspects of prayer, we'll find ourselves becoming more like Jesus in the way we live and love.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Kailey Newkirk // Humility without wisdom holds no value. True humility begins with seeking wisdom from God. James describes heavenly wisdom as pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. Imagine if we, as followers of Jesus, truly embodied this kind of wisdom—reflecting God's image in the way we live, love, and lead. What a powerful and irresistible alternative that would be to the ways of the world.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Grace Veronica // Words are powerful—they have the ability to lift others up or tear them down. The words we speak are shaped by our hearts, influencing how we communicate each day. To speak with kindness and reflect Jesus in our words, we must first yield our hearts to God, allowing him to guide our speech and build others up.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // The true test of our character is revealed in how we treat those around us. Too often, we're quick to judge and show favoritism, but the reality is that faith in Jesus and the mistreatment of others cannot coexist. Jesus himself showed no partiality—he loved, valued, and welcomed everyone. To follow him means doing the same, reflecting his heart in the way we see and treat others.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // The choices we make and the challenges we face shape who we are. Without wisdom, we risk making decisions that lack direction and purpose. That's where the book of James comes in—it's a powerful guide filled with biblical wisdom to help us navigate life's trials with clarity and intention.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Chris Timson // Sin is a powerful force that holds us back from fully experiencing all that God has for us. But what if we could break free from its grip? The book of Proverbs teaches us that through confession, perseverance, and surrendering our struggles to Christ, we can find true freedom. This freedom not only opens our hearts to Jesus, but also empowers us to live with purpose, bringing the kingdom of heaven closer to earth.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // Through the wisdom of Proverbs, we explore the question: “Can men and women be friends?” Grounded in godly wisdom, we can build relationships rooted in mutual respect, integrity, and wise boundaries. By shaping our relationships with care and honor, we create connections that glorify God and add meaning to our lives.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Kailey Newkirk // Being an adult means taking a deeper look at our friendships. True friendships aren't just about convenience or shared laughs—they're about the hard stuff too: mutual vulnerability, avoiding gossip, offering honest love, and building a diverse, supportive circle.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // "Adulting" can be tough, but it's more than just managing responsibilities—it's about growing into the life God designed for you. In this new series, we'll dive into the practical wisdom of Proverbs to help you prioritize what matters most and embrace spiritual maturity.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

As 2024 comes to a close, we've put together a special panel to reflect on all God has done in and through Summit. Our panel shares personal stories of growth, moments where we saw God move, and how we're living out our mission to “Find & Follow the Way of Jesus.” From equipping our church for challenging conversations to looking ahead to 2025, this discussion is full of encouragement and hope!Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // On Christmas Eve, we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the light and hope the world longed for. His arrival fulfills every promise and meets us in every season—whether waiting, seeking, or uncertain—offering us peace, joy, and redemption.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Kailey Newkirk // Simeon's story is a powerful example of patient faith and trust in God's promises. After years of waiting for the “consolation of Israel,” his hope is fulfilled with peace and clarity when he meets the infant Jesus. Like Simeon, we learn that seasons of waiting, though uncertain, can bring growth, anticipation, and the assurance that God's timing is always perfect.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Johnny Outing // This week, we reflect on the shepherds and wise men, whose contrasting journeys both led to Jesus. The shepherds discovered the miraculous in their ordinary lives, while the wise men pursued truth with purposeful ambition. Similarly, our spiritual journeys may emerge through quiet discovery or intentional seeking, each leading to transformation and the wonder of encountering Christ.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // Joseph's story speaks to the challenging seasons in relationships—when love, trust, and faith are tested by the unexpected. Faced with a potentially scandalous situation, Joseph had to choose between protecting his own reputation or trusting in God's greater plan.

Kailey Newkirk // On a long enough timeline, all of God's promises are fulfilled, and Jesus remains with us through every struggle. Often, we misunderstand God's ways, expecting rewards for good deeds, but this mindset can mislead us. Ecclesiastes reminds us to trust our Creator: “Fear God and keep his commandments.”Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Kailey Newkirk // Life's limitations can be frustrating, but God understands pain and loss far deeper than we ever could. His empathy surpasses anything we can imagine. While we wait for eternity, we can either dwell on the wait or cherish life's temporary gifts as glimpses of His promise.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // Ever feel like life is just chasing the wind? The author of Ecclesiastes did, too, saying, ‘Everything is meaningless.' It's a sentiment we can all relate to at times. We often think our pursuits will make us happier or somehow solve our discontent. True fulfillment, though, comes from God and investing in the eternal.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Kailey Newkirk // The Book of Ecclesiastes addresses two key questions: What should we expect from God's world? And how should we live in it? These questions become more complex in light of sin, which has left the world we experience broken. However, as Ecclesiastes shows us, unpredictable and challenging circumstances are not proof that God is unjust or that we've done something wrong. Sometimes, we simply need to see the bigger picture.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

John Parker // Jesus had every reason to stay focused on his mission, yet throughout the gospels, we see him constantly pausing to serve those in need. He healed not because it was his job, but because it was who he was—and Jesus calls us to let our compassion lead to action, too.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // Throughout Romans 8, we see that in Christ, we're no longer bound by sin but empowered to live by the Spirit, with a new understanding of both suffering and hope. As we reach the final part of this chapter, Paul reminds us that, despite our struggles and weaknesses, we are more than conquerors, with an overwhelming victory secured through Jesus.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Johnny Outing // Following Jesus isn't always easy—it requires a shift in perspective. In Romans 8, Paul helps us see suffering in a new light. Through our struggles, Jesus reveals a hope that transforms us, empowering us to reflect his glory in the way we live. With this hope, we find life where God's goodness and peace surpass all understanding.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // Through Jesus' work on the cross, we're no longer beholden to our sinful nature, but belief and good intentions or right behavior aren't all we're called to as believers. We've been given the Holy Spirit to convict and guide us in a way that leads to life and peace. Spiritual growth can be hard work, but we can trust God to work on our hearts.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // Romans 8 reveals the incredible promise of being adopted into God's family. For those in Christ, there's no longer any condemnation—we are now sons and daughters of God, set free from the chains of sin and shame. Through Jesus' sacrifice, we have been given a new life of freedom, fully embraced by the Father's love. We also have a new guide for life in the Holy Spirit, the breath of God.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Grace Veronica // When people come forward to confess, they rarely, if ever, admit to struggling with greed. It's a silent killer of sorts. If we're to seek the Kingdom of God above all else, though, we will need to be satisfied with whose we are, who we are, and what we have. Jesus teaches that we don't need to worry, but peace and contentment can be found in God's providence.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Michael Hinton // When asked about the most important commandment, Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind,” adding that loving your neighbor is just as important. He even said we were to love our enemies! This is because we've never met anyone Jesus didn't die for and this is why citizens of God's kingdom are called to love without fear, partiality, or conditions.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!
