Grace Summit Church

Are you living by design or by default? In Part 3 of our "Designed" series, Pastor Ben explores our spiritual responsibility to steward how God has made us. Drawing from Matthew 5:6—"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled"—we dive into what it means to be intentionally "Designed for Hunger".
In this message, Pastor Ben discusses:
• The Danger of the Drift: Why spiritual growth never happens by accident and how "default mode" leads us back to our old nature.
• Intentionality over Default: Understanding that the life you were designed for requires a decision to stay in the "climb" of faith.
• Tending the Fire: A call to stop letting distractions steal your spiritual appetite and to "fan into flame" the gift of God within you.
We also take a moment to honor and celebrate all the mothers and nurturers in our house for Mother’s Day!.

Are you living out your true assignment, or are you just "decoration"?
In Part 2 of our "Designed" series, Pastor Ben challenges us to look beyond our personal spiritual growth and embrace our divine calling: the Rescue. We were designed by God on purpose and with purpose—not to sit comfortably within the four walls of a church, but to "storm the gates of hell" and reach those stumbling in darkness.
In this message, we explore:
• The Assignment: Moving beyond power, presence, and passion to understand our mission to
make disciples and "forge" them from raw materials.
• Fishers of Men: Why a healthy church should "stink like fish" and be willing to get dirty to reach the lost, just as Jesus did.
• Storming the Gates: Understanding that the "gates of hell" are stationary and defensive;
it is the Church’s job to be on the offensive, bringing light into the dark places of our community.
• The Rescue Gear: How God has equipped you with the keys of the kingdom to bind and loose,
giving you the confidence to be effective in your everyday life.
Main Scripture Passages:
• Matthew 28:19 (The Great Commission)
• Proverbs 24:11-12 (Rescuing those being led to death)
• Matthew 16:18-19 (The Church and the gates of hell)
• John 20:21 ("As the Father has sent me, even so, I am sending you")

Have you ever felt like you were just "muddling through" life, or felt an "ick" on the inside that whispered there must be more?. You aren't a mistake, a random accident, or a collection of leftovers—you are a masterpiece knit together by God himself.
In this first installment of our new series, "Designed," Pastor Benjamin Lehew explores the fundamental truth that you were designed by God on purpose and for a purpose. Using the powerful analogy of hiking gear and footwear, Pastor Ben illustrates how we are often trying to walk "off-mountain" in shoes meant for the house, or living in sin when we were actually designed for the climb of kingdom terrain.
When we live outside of our design, it feels uncomfortable because our spirits are crying out that we were made for more.
In this message, you will discover that you are:
• Designed for Power: You are not just a churchgoer; you are a carrier of the power of God, called to do the works of Jesus and even greater works.
• Designed for Presence: Learn why intimacy with the Father is the key to fulfilling your divine "spec sheet".
• Designed for Passion: Discover how to live with a "burning fire" in your bones, serving the Lord heartily in everything you do. Stop partnering your mouth with hell and start partnering with heaven. It’s time to step into the good works God prepared for you in advance.

It’s About Time (Part 3) | Pastor Benjamin Lehew In the final installment of our "Time" series, Pastor Benjamin Lehew challenges us to shift our focus from God’s timing for us to our time for Him. Using Ephesians 5:15-16, this message serves as a spiritual audit, reminding us that our schedules are actually our "statements of faith".
Key Takeaways:
Time to Wake Up: Stop living in a spiritual slumber. Pastor Ben emphasizes that it's time to get honest about our walk with God and wake up to His presence and our calling.
Affections vs. Schedules: We always find time for what we are affectionate toward. If prayer or the Word feels like a chore, it’s not a schedule problem—it’s an affection problem.
Redeem Your Days: Every believer has a calling, but that calling must be reflected in our daily calendars. Learn why busyness is not the same as fruitfulness and how to invest your time as the currency of your calling.
Don't let the "good things" of life distract you from the "God things". It’s time to stop giving God our leftovers and start living with an intentionality that honors Him.

"Ready" isn't a feeling—it's a decision. Have you ever felt like you were "running late" for God? Like you missed your chance to get free, get serious, or start over?
On this Resurrection Sunday at Grace Summit Church, Pastor Benjamin Lehew kicks off the second week of our "TIME" series with a powerful message: God is Always on Time. We often live our lives governed by Chronos (chronological time), feeling the anxiety of the ticking clock. But the Resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that God operates on a different schedule. Just as God circled that first Easter Sunday thousands of years ago for the victory over death, He has circled this day on your calendar for your breakthrough. Whether you are struggling with addiction, depression, or the weight of your past, today is the beginning of a new story.
In this message, you’ll discover:
• The Interrogation of Death: Why we can stand face-to-face with our struggles and ask, "Death, where is your sting?"
• The Historical Reality: Why the physical, undeniable Resurrection is the only reason our faith has power.
• Faith vs. Futility: Understanding that if Christ is not raised, our worship is just noise—but because He lives, everything changes.
• The Decision to be Ready: Why waiting until you "feel" ready is a trap from the enemy, and how to make the decision to step into freedom today.

Are you a fan of Jesus, or a follower? On this Palm Sunday, Pastor Benjamin Lehew kicks off our new series, "TIME," by looking at the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. It’s easy to join the crowd and shout "Hosanna" when things are celebratory, but what happens when the miracle doesn’t look the way you expected?
In this message, we explore the critical difference between Chronos (our chronological time) and Kairos (God’s appointed moments). Many in the Jerusalem crowd gave Jesus their time, but they never gave Him their hearts—leading them to shout "Crucify" just days later. Pastor Ben challenges us to move beyond "Cover Story" Christianity and step into a life of true surrender.
In this message, you’ll discover:
► The difference between seeking a moment with Jesus and a life with Jesus.
► How to recognize your "Kairos" moment—the time of God’s visitation.
► Why being a "fan" of Christ is never enough to sustain your faith in difficult seasons.

Back to Basics Part 2: Moving from Information to Transformation | Pastor Benjamin Lehew
Are you just informed, or are you truly transformed?
In this powerful message from our "Back to Basics" series, Pastor Benjamin Lehew challenges the Grace Summit Church family to move beyond "spiritual babyhood" and dive a mile deep into their faith.
In a world where we have more access to biblical knowledge than any generation in history, there is often a wide gap between what we know and how we actually live. Using Hebrews 5:11-14, Pastor Ben explores why many Christians plateau in their faith and remain dependent on others to "spoon-feed" them the Word of God instead of learning to feed themselves through constant practice and discernment.
 
Key Takeaways:
The Maturity Challenge: Why being a "spiritual baby" is only cute when you're a new believer—and why it’s time for long-term Christians to start eating "solid food".
Confession over Curation: The danger of living a "curated" spiritual life on social media while hiding sin and shame in private. True healing is tied to honesty and transparency.
Dependency vs. Relationship: Learning to seek God daily without needing a crisis or a church service to prompt you.Scripture References:Hebrews 5:11-14 James 5:16 Matthew 28:19 (The Great Commission)

Are you "out of Egypt," but still finding that "Egypt" is inside of you? In this powerful message, Pastor Dan Prus returns to the fundamentals of the Christian faith, exploring the "spiritual medicine" God has provided to heal our souls and keep us walking in His strength.
Using the biblical imagery of the "Balm of Gilead," Pastor Dan breaks down how healthy spiritual habits—specifically Bible reading and prayer—transform our internal reality, which in turn fixes our external relationships and perspectives.
Key Highlights:
• The Filter of the Word: Why hiding God’s Word in your heart (Psalm 119:11) is your best defense against the "junk" of the world and the deception of the enemy.
• The 66-Day Challenge: Breaking the addiction to our smartphones and trading screen time for "Word time" to move from discipline to delight.
• The Secret Place: Learning the power of shutting the door (Matthew 6:6) to find a place of absolute honesty with God, where no secrets exist and true peace is found.
• The 5 P’s of Prayer: A practical template for revitalizing your prayer life, starting with the transformative power of Praise.
Whether you feel spiritually stuck or are just starting your journey with Jesus, this sermon provides the practical tools needed to build a firm foundation.

In the conclusion of our "Proximity" series, Pastor Benjamin Lehew explores a vital truth: Your spiritual distance from God is often determined by your physical distance from the right people. We all want to be close to Jesus, but are we "entangled" with people who are pulling us in the opposite direction?
Following Christ isn't just a private decision; it’s a relational one. Using the biblical imagery of the "yoke" and the wisdom of Proverbs, Pastor Ben explains how to audit your inner circle, set healthy boundaries, and ensure that the voices in your life are pushing you toward your purpose rather than away from it.
In this message, we discuss:
● The Elevator Principle: Why some people in your life act as an "Up" button to your purpose, while others are a "Down" button to your potential.
● The Unequal Yoke: Understanding why being "hitched" to someone with a different destination creates constant spiritual exhaustion.
● The Pain of Pruning: Why it’s okay to feel the sting when God removes certain relationships to protect your future.
● Inner vs. Outer Circles: How to love everyone like Jesus did while guarding the "Access" to your heart.
