I explained on Tuesday how God wants to find you faithful and grateful. Did you know that He also wants to find you dreaming, singing, and on your knees? In regard to dreaming, I’m not talking about the selfish kind but the godly kind! Psalm 37:4 (ESV) says, “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will […]

We’re about to start a new decade. It reminds of how Summit always gives the first of its year to God. 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting is actually a time to give the first of the year, month, week, and day to God—for 21 days. How amazing to also give the first of a new […]

Christmas is drawing closer, and so many things remind me of the birth of Jesus. Our key verse at church yesterday was Hebrew 1:1-3. “Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised […]

While Christmas is full of surprises, there are also a lot of familiar aspects to it. Sometimes, familiarity can breed contempt! You might find yourself asking, “What is left to be said that hasn’t been said before?” When you hear biblical Christmas stories, sometimes you really don’t hear them at all…because you’ve heard them so […]

Sometimes what’s packaged as disappointment is really destiny. I can imagine the disappointment Joseph felt when he found out Mary was having a baby. But he discovered he was a part of the most beautiful birth in the world. Sometimes God makes the verdict first and the evidence comes later. “Now faith is the substance of […]

Isn’t it amazing to think how Jesus went from manger to majesty? It was hard for some people to believe that a small child could fulfill the prophecy of a Savior. The first chapter of Matthew signifies that heaven had hit a dead end. Joseph and humanity were at a dead end as well! The […]
READ MORETo further explore Pastor Ernie’s message from Sunday, look at how to have “Eureka” breakthroughs of radical generosity! By understanding that generosity is beneficial to the giver and the receiver, you won’t dread giving but be excited about it. If you’re using your circumstances as excuses to get out of being generous, you need to […]
READ MOREPastor Ernie Frey, one of our Overseers here at The Summit, visited on Sunday with his family. They all shared with the church as we took a look at radical generosity. As this was the second message in a two-part series on stewardship, it was another opportunity to explore the idea of heavenly treasure. I’m sure you’ve […]
READ MOREHave you ever heard of Randy Alcorn’s Treasure Principle? “You can’t take it with you…but you can send it on ahead.” Look at Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV). “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin […]
READ MOREYour approach to money and possessions is central to your spiritual life. Look at the story of Zacchaeus in the Bible. As someone with a reputation as a dishonest tax collector, he definitely put his possessions/money before anything else. But after being shown kindness by Jesus, he realized where his true treasure was! “But Zacchaeus […]

Exclusive Private Virtual Event – “Narcissism and Breaking Its Hold”
Narcissism is at an all-time high. And it’s not just because we’ve become a society obsessed with how we look and making sure we’re #1. It’s because we’ve put ourselves at the center of our lives instead of God. Join Pastor Rob in this 45-minute private event, where he will discuss the challenges facing society today and how we can make powerful changes in our lives to break the self-centered hold and embrace a God-centered life.

Exclusive Live Webinar – “How to Help Your Teen Break Free of Social Media Addiction”
While it might not (yet) be considered a clinical addition, many in society can’t go 5 minutes without checking their phone to see how many likes they have for their latest post, or how many comments people have left. And our teens are especially susceptible. After all, they’ve been all but raised with a device in their hands. How do we help this next generation deal with the debilitating side effects social media can have on us? In this 90-minute webinar, Pastor Rob will discuss the issue and provide practical ways we can help our teens navigate these formative years in a positive way. There will also be a live Q & A session at the end. (A link to the recorded webinar will be provided after the live event.)
Overliked by Rob Singleton is a tome for such a time as this. Even though I work on television, I also make a living through social media. Coincidently, right before I started reading the pre-release copy, I had checked my "Likes'" and numbers on social media! How was I doing? Were my numbers growing? Declining? Did a few drop off?
It's so easy to get our self-esteem and self-worth tied to those likes and numbers.
Through Pastor Rob's book, we learn how frivolous and fake it can all be and ultimately, how it can lead to a miserable and unfulfilled life if left unchecked. The tools, scriptures, and "change of heart" takeaways that Pastor Rob provides at the end of each chapter help considerably shift the focus from there…to in here. He gently, but with statistics and examples, gives us a guide us to live a more authentic life.
In the book, Pastor Rob says, "Honesty is what sets us up for authentic relationships," and isn't that what we really all want?
As a woman over 40 in Hollywood, the expectations have never been higher. Overliked sites that, in one 12-month period, YouTube logged 169 billion views just for beauty-related content. Beauty is good… perfection is lethal. And don't I know it? I am on high-definition TV with glaring set lights, standing next to 20- to 30-year old young women daily; it's a test to stay solid and secure in your own skin.
I was posting perfectly lit and curated pictures of my "Beautiful" (heavily filtered) life; people followed and viewed but scrolled right along. However, when I let down the curtain, turned off the filter, and decided to share my real-life sorrows and struggles with cancer, the comments, words, notes, and numbers flooded. People want to see my honesty and weaknesses because they can relate.
Overliked shows us that when we pretend to be perfect, the only person we are hurting is ourselves.
Pastor Rob's easy and relatable storytelling draws the reader in. We find that our weaknesses become our strengths to help us touch, encourage, and heal others, not just impress them.
Thank you for this very needed and essential book that helps us realize that being real is the only way to have a true connection with our Lord and our friends and family.
In Overliked, through story references of David, we learn the Lord encourages us all to ignore appearance and stature. "For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
This book is an important message for developing authenticity in our lives, which is far more critical than adding strangers, getting fake followers, and creating a heavily-filtered life experience. I promise you will really "LIKE" it.
