Summit View Church Wishes You a Very Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Summit View Church's elders, pastors, staff and interns. 

We praise God for a wonderful year of getting to serve our city for Jesus, seeing lives transformed by Jesus and baptizing new believers into the life and mission of Jesus. We are praying that God would continue to pour out his grace on our church as we move into 2016! 

Remember that the greatest thing of all is "God with us" 

Merry Christmas!

Just About, Nearly, Almost Christmas! - Matthew 2:1-23

It's Christmas time and the decorations are going up, the music is playing, the lights are on and the Christmas movies are back in full force! Regardless of wither there is a Grinch, an Elf or Bing Crosby belting out "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas," all Christmas movies follow roughly the same formula. Christmas is coming but oh no, there is a problem! That problem almost causes Christmas not to happen but in the end the heroes come through and we celebrate every time!

This theme of the near misses of Christmas frames up our sermon series at Summit View Church this year. We’re looking at the near misses of Christmas in the Bible. 

This last Sunday I preached a message on Matthew 2 entitled "Jesus Overcomes" looking at the six aspects of how the classic Christmas story of the wise men, king Herod and the journey to Egypt shows the sovereignty, goodness and control of our triune God over cultural barriers, tyrants, indifference, evil and every circumstance.  My hope and pray is that this message blesses you and stirs you up to celebrate Christmas. 

"Jesus Overcomes" - Sermon by Kyle Van Tine on Matthew 2:1-23

1.          Jesus overcomes cultural barriers 2:1-2
2.          Jesus overcomes tyrants 2:3-6
3.          Jesus overcomes Indifference 2:7-11
4.          Jesus overcomes Evil 2:12-18
5.          Jesus overcomes every circumstance 2:19-23   

Christmas Food Boxes - Over 50,000 meals!

Praying for lasting impact beyond full stomachs.

Merry Christmas!

A Very Merry Christmas from the Elders, Pastors, Directors and Staff at Summit View Church!
