Summary

In this message on 1 Corinthians 9, Pastor J.D. explains one of the core four values of The Summit Church, “We do whatever it takes to reach all people.” Believers aren’t meant to be stagnant ponds—receiving, receiving, receiving. We’re meant to be rivers where gospel water flows through us to others. So we get comfortable being uncomfortable, knowing that Jesus wants people from every tribe, every tongue, and every background to be welcomed into his family.

aren't exactly enjoyable to say have a refreshing swim in. The better picture of

0:56.9

us is that we're meant to be refreshing cool rivers where gospel water flows freely through us to

others. Today, Pastor J.D. challenges us to get comfortable being uncomfortable, knowing that

Jesus wants people from every tribe,

every tongue, and every background to be a part of his family.
