Finding God in the Shadow of Darkness

With God: Remember and Trust

https://summitnorthwest.org/messages/with-god-remember-and-trust/ Guest Speaker: Laurie Polich Short This 4th of July, we’re pausing not just to celebrate independence, but to remember. Guest speaker Laurie Polich Short brings a message on remembering and trusting — the idea that tracing how God has worked in our past gives us courage to trust Him with what’s still unclear. Using Joseph’s story in Genesis as our guide, we’ll explore how God is often weaving a bigger story than we can see while we’re living it.

With God: Practicing Presence

https://summitnorthwest.org/messages/with-god-practicing-presence/ We’re closing out our presence with God series this weekend, but not with a sermon. There is a good change happening in our church. The reason for that is that many of us have made presence with God a priority, and maybe even the priority in our lives. Come close our the end of June and the Presence with God series with “The Beginning” as we practice being present with God.

Finding God in the Shadow of Darkness

https://summitnorthwest.org/messages/finding-god-in-the-shadow-of-darkness/ In a world where evil often seems to dominate the headlines and our daily experience, it’s easy to lose sight of the God who is still at work. We are called to train our eyes to actively seek out the presence of God and the quiet, persistent advance of His goodness, even in the darkest seasons. Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we often miss Him walking beside us until we pause and look. And when we remember how the story ends… with every darkness defeated and every tear wiped away, we find the courage to keep looking, keep hoping, and keep joining God in what He is already doing.

Like the One You Follow

https://summitnorthwest.org/messages/like-the-one-you-follow/ Many people say that they are a Christian or even a follower of Jesus—but what does that actually mean? Is being a disciple of Jesus the same thing as simply believing in Him? Or have we settled for a version of faith that stops at words and never reaches our lives? John reminds us that whoever claims to live in Christ must walk as He did—because following Jesus isn’t just about belief, it’s about becoming. And becoming doesn’t happen by learning conceptually.

Here

https://summitnorthwest.org/messages/here/ What if the presence of God isn’t something we summon — it’s something we learn to notice? From the garden to the cross, God has always been moving toward us, not waiting to be convinced. This weekend we’re exploring what it means that he’s already with you, in every moment, always. Come ready to see your own life a little differently. Join us Saturday at 11:15.
