A quick Google search on "How to be kind" provides an almost limitless amount of suggestions. So, if the world knows how to do "kind" acts then was the Apostle Paul's command in Ephesians 4:32 just a "righteous" twist to a normal understanding of being kind? Pastor Don Brewer reminds of the context of Ephesians and provides an explanation of key Greek words that show us that Paul was talking about something much deeper than merely encouraging mean people to be nice people.

Spend a week in the woods and you have the opportunity to see and hear things that are easily taken for granted. While some people can read the beginning of Psalm 96 and believe they see a possible mandate to sing more or sing better, the rest of the Psalm shows us something far more significant--that God has given us gifts in His creation to remind us of how good He is! And, these gifts (the sky, the land, fields, trees) are literally moving and making noise as a result of what they know regarding God. Sermon from 4 October 2026.

The good news and encouragement that the Apostle Paul gives his friends in Ephesus is overwhelmingly focused on God and His works. “For we are His workmanship, created-formed in Christ Jesus on/upon good works, which God prepared beforehand, that in them we would walk—tread all around especially as proof of ability.” There is a new and different hope in the truth that God is revealing Himself by miraculously opening our eyes to the work that He has done and is doing in our lives--deep within our hearts and minds. Sermon from 1 March 2026.

Paul's words from Ephesians 2:10 gives liberating hope by clearly emphasizing the good Work of God. Immediately after declaring that salvation was a gift of ...

Some of the best words of Scripture are found in Ephesians 2:8-9. "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." Sermon from 22 February 2026.

Most people don't experience themselves as a person who boasts. As soon as you hear the word "boast," usually pictures of that certain arrogant person you us...

What do you value/treasure the most? It is real easy to say "God". But, if you are honest with yourself, you will see that the treasure you desire the most is not God. Paul's prayer request in Ephesians reveals that a miracle has to take place to realize that the Greatest Treasure is God Himself. The daily struggle to obtain the "lesser" treasures in life and the consistent disappointment that they actually bring provide the opportunity to see and desire the true Treasure found in Christ! Sermon from 8 February 2026

"The Greatest Prayer Request of All Time! "

Have you ever wondered if some prayer requests are better than others? The Bible shows us, through the Apostle Paul, that there is one prayer request that is the Greatest prayer request. Knowing God and valuing Him is of utmost importance. And Paul knew that the battle raging in the minds of Christians is centered on treasuring the things seen versus treasuring that which is more valuable than anything: the Unseen Treasure of God Himself. Pastor Don Brewer preaches from Ephesians 1:15-21, Summit Lake Community Church, 1 February 2026.

Most people like to believe that the story of Job is about a man who stood firm in his faith in through extreme suffering. But, most people haven't read all of the words of the book of Job. The story of Job is actually about a good God who stays with a man experiencing a crisis of belief as he tries to understand his extreme suffering and God's part to play in it. It is a story that shows how God is the One who is faithful even as He listens to the man who has "words without wisdom". And what is the point?! Who wants a God who allows bad things to happen to "good" people? The story of Job shows us how God patiently and lovingly renews the mind of Job so that Job actually believes God really is patient and loving despite and even because of what He allows. The lesson of Job can be life-transforming. Sermon given at Summit Lake Community Church on 25 January 2026.

Knowing God is a life-long journey. Over the past couple of weeks we have been looking at the process that God has each of us in as He teaches us about His Goodness. Ironically, His Goodness is shown as we go through the "storms" caused by our own thinking. Trials, suffering, wanting life to be different all trigger thinking that reveal how much (or how little) we value God and His plans for our lives. Pastor Don walks through Hebrews 15:5-6 showing how God CAN give us contentment in everything we go through as He makes us aware that He is actively renewing our minds through the struggle. Sermon given at Summit Lake Community Church on 18 January 2026.
