Summit Ridge Sermon Podcast

Repentance, turning our lives around, is crucial in our realtionship with Jesus Christ. But what does it take for us to repent? In Ezra 9:1-10:44 and Nehemiah 1:1-2:10, Pastor Dan shares what it takes for us to turn our lives around.

As we begin our study in the book of Nehemiah 1:1-2:10, Eric Burch, an elder at Northwest, shares with us why, when it comes to prayer and confession to God, honesty is always the best policy.

God's gift of grace allows sinners to be forgiven, healing to take place, and lives to be restored. In Ezra 9:1-10:44, Pastor Dan will share what our response should be to this amazing gift of grace.

In Ezra 8:1-36, Pastor Dan Acker shares the third and final reason why worship can't be stopped. This message is part of the series: When God rebuilds a nation.

In our annual joint worship service, three pastors: John Berkshire from Oasis, Roger Stogsdill from First Brethren, and Dan Acker from Northwest share why we are better together.

In Part 2 of the message Why worship can't be stopped, Eric Burch, an Elder at Northwest shares another powerful reason on why worshipping Jesus can't be and won't be stopped.

Worship of Jesus can't be stopped. Even if we stop worshipping, the Bible says the very rocks will cry out. But why can't it be stopped? There are many Christians around the world who risk being jailed or even worse as they gather to worship Jesus. Why do they risk their very lives to do this? In this message will discover why they take this risk and why worshipping Jesus can't be stopped.

Worship is an exclusive event. It's not for everyone. While everyone is invited to worship Jesus Christ, not everyone will. In this message, we will see why this is the case, and why some who refuse to worship Jesus oppose those who do.  

It can be so easy for us to be caught in where worship happens. Beautiful cathedrals and church buildings have been built for people to worship God. However, In the second message in the series through the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, we'll see why it's not where we worship that matters, but who we worship.
