Suncrest Church

"This weekend I’m talking about our future – where I sense God leading our church. You might think that is about our organization (and a little bit of it is – with some key updates). But I have a conviction that “the church” is you – so most of it is about the ways I sense God wants to shape us one-by-one and family-by-family. I’m aiming for you to walk away thinking about God’s vision for you and your family as much as our vision as a church." -Lead Pastor Greg Lee

When you read the phrase "Heaven and Hell" what do you think? Is it some ethereal, non-sensical thing? Is it intimidating? Scary? Interesting? In the series finale of "Salty & Lit", Lead Pastor Greg Lee shows how Jesus talks to his early followers about the importance of taking seriously the eternal implications of following, or not following, Him.

Have you ever been hurt? Are you actively hurting? Do you know someone who is hurting? Then this is for you. Guest Speaker, Chad Lunsford is looking at a time when Jesus was so moved by grief and hurt that he wept. Check out episode 6 of "Salty & Lit" now.

This special edition of "Salty & Lit" is much more of a Lab than a Lecture. What do we mean? We're going to help you actually practice what Jesus says when he tells us, "This, then, is how you should pray..." Why? So that you can have an interaction with a God who CARES and a God who CAN.

Many of us can look back at our Middle School experience and remember a time when we felt like we didn't know where (or maybe even how) you were going to fit in... who you were going to sit with at lunch. In episode 4 of our series "Salty & Lit" Guest Speaker, Charlie Welke, helps us see that God is inviting all of us to the table, no matter who you are.

In episode 3 of "Salty and Lit", Guest Speaker (and former NFL player) Joshua Symonette helps us see how Jesus called his earliest followers to "keep it

When we experience someone who has an over-reaction, we think “Wow, they are salty.”... What if the best version of salty is an overly strong under-reaction? In episode 2 of "Salty & Lit" we're looking at how Jesus calls us to way more than satisfying our immediate, reactionary tendencies.

Surrender is something that is culturally negative. It means failure, loss, and retreat. But, when Jesus talks about following Him he asks people to surrender. What if the type of surrendering Jesus is asking us to do looks less like defeat, and more like victory... hope... and purpose? What if he's asking us to step into being and doing more than we ever could on our own? Join us as we start a brand new series we're calling, "Salty & Lit".

In the series finale of "The Journey is the Destination" we're talking about a simple fact: When your relationships are good... your life is good. So how do you pursue relationships in a way that leads to living life to its fullest? Let's talk about it.

We all have gaps in our authenticity. It shapes our fears, hopes, and dreams. So, how does our authenticity play a role in our pursuit of life to the full? Check out episode 4 of "The Journey is the Destination" to learn more.

In a day and age where the truth can seem like an idealistic and, maybe even, imaginary thing... what does it actually mean to pursue truth? And how does the pursuit of truth lead to a full and fulfilling life? Let's have a conversation about it in episode 3 of "The Journey is the Destination".

We've got the author of "The Journey is the Destination", Jeremy Brown, with us for a special episode 2 of this series! We're wrestling with what it looks like to have the "good life" and how the things that we often pick may have short-term satisfaction... but ultimately don't fill us up for the long-term. So, what do you pursue instead? Better yet, WHO do you pursue instead?

At Suncrest, we believe that everyone is on a journey... but the important part is not where you end up. In fact, excessive focus on destinations causes us to miss out on life. So, in episode 1 of "The Journey is the Destination", we're wrestling with pursuing our identities.

We all want to feel like we're worth something. It's actually a pretty big driver behind our desires to be good at work, be a good parent, have a nice yard, earn the next promotion... so much so that it becomes a reflection of who we are as a person. But at some point, we all run up against the defeat of never being enough. What if we told you that there is a way to live in KNOWING who you are instead of having to PROVE it. Check out the series finale of "My Identity: Figuring Out Who I Am".

There are some things we say "yes" to about our identity that may actually be killing us... things like greed, anger, and lying. Instead, the apostle Paul gives us a roadmap to living a new life with a new identity. In episode 3 of our series, "My Identity: Figuring Out Who I Am" we're asking the question: Do you WANT following Jesus to be your primary identity?

We all have levels of people, things, and preferences that make up who we are. Are those ordered the right way? In a way that reflects who you REALLY are? In episode 2 of, "My Identity: Figuring Out Who I Am" we're asking, "What is the most important part of who you are?"

In episode 1 of our new series, "My Identity" we're asking the questions: Who are you? Who do people think you are? Who did God make you to be? Join us as we wrestle with figuring out who we are... together.

Following Jesus’ crucifixion, his followers expected what anyone expects after someone dies: that they would remain that way. But one of Jesus’s followers, John, gave an eyewitness account which summarized the main event surrounding Christianity: Jesus rose from the dead. In this seventh and final sign that John documents, he makes the case that Jesus is exactly who he claimed to be.

At different points in our lives, many of us wonder why a good God would allow bad things to happen. And without a clear response, that dilemma could cause us to question God’s existence altogether. The gospel writer John documented an occasion where Jesus not only brought his friend Lazarus back to life, but demonstrated how God can exist in the midst of a world of evil and suffering.

There are many products we buy, use, and put our confidence in without having all the information or fully understanding how they work. In the Gospel of John, we see a man begin to follow Jesus based on limited information. This man, who was born blind, said he only knew one main thing—and that one thing was enough to make him curious about who Jesus really was. It’s okay to be wrong. It’s okay not to know. But it’s not okay not to look if there’s something to be seen.
