Summit Chapels

When someone you love is struggling and you can’t fix the situation, prayer can feel like the only thing left. In “Unselfish Prayer and Unseen Obedience,” Ross Kibodeaux explores how Epaphras and Tychicus helped bring the message of Colossians to people far beyond their own generation. Their example reminds you that caring for others, praying faithfully, and doing what God asks can matter more than you realize. Whether you’re carrying concern for your family or wondering if your quiet faithfulness makes any difference, this message encourages you to trust God with the prayers and small steps nobody else sees.Key TakeawaysPrayer matters because of who God is, even when you struggle to find the words.Let concern for others lead you to pray and offer practical help.Being far from someone you love does not prevent you from praying for them.Take the next step God has asked of you, whether that means apologizing, encouraging someone, or serving quietly.Measure your faithfulness by your response to God, rather than recognition or comparison.

When you feel like you’ve failed too badly to be useful, where do you turn? In “The Glory of God,” Dr. Teresa Conlon walks through Exodus 32–34 to show how God meets broken people with mercy, patience, and goodness. Through Moses’ prayer, “Show me your glory,” she invites you to seek God’s presence and trust his character when life feels uncertain. This message challenges the shame that keeps you stuck and encourages you to make room for prayer, Scripture, and honest conversations. You don’t need to have everything together to return to God and let his goodness shape your life.

In this chapel message, Nik Godshall looks at Gideon’s act of courage: tearing down the altar in his own backyard before facing the battle beyond it. The invitation is personal: let God uncover the beliefs, habits, resentment, isolation, or hidden struggles that have taken up space in your life, then replace them with truth. You do not have to change alone or match anyone else’s journey. Growth begins with one willing step, support from people, and a heart that keeps showing up even when feelings are absent. Start at home, make room for freedom, and help others do likewise today.

What happens when you stop chasing good ideas and start listening for God’s direction? Pastor Carter shares the story behind the Times Square Church Worldwide Prayer Meeting and the simple acts of obedience that grew into something reaching people around the world. Through stories from New York City, 9/11, Feed New York, and Prayer in the Square, he shows how God can accomplish far more than we could plan on our own. This message is an invitation to slow down, listen, and live beyond your own needs by praying for people who are hurting, searching for hope, and desperately need someone to stand with them.

In this insightful teaching, Dr. Conlon unpacks 1 Timothy 2:12–15 to confront long-standing interpretations that have silenced women in the church. Sharing a heartfelt journey of tears, study, and revelation, she explores the original Greek text, historical context, and the concept of progressive revelation to show that God calls and anoints women to speak, teach, and lead. This message encourages believers to embrace headship in marriage while affirming equality in ministry, calling for men and women to rise together as co-laborers in Christ in these critical last days.
