There are some homes we never forget. Whether it’s the greeting at the door, the aroma in the kitchen, or the fire in the hearth, certain places leave an imprint on our hearts. They make us want to linger a little longer and come back every chance we get.

And so it should be in the household of God.

Jesus called us to be the salt and light of the world, a distinction that was meant to be an invitation. Light warms the house and pushes back the darkness, while salt seasons and preserves the feast. He knew the cold and hungry would walk by and see something the rest of the world could not offer them. The values we build within these walls beckon the lost and lonely to come inside.

But it’s difficult to instill values if only a select few believe in them. Creating a culture is a family affair. It requires everyone to stoke the fire, pass out the dishes, and pull up every chair in the house for our guests. When each of us pray and play our part well, we help create something the rest of the world is desperate for—a family and a feast. An open seat at the table with the King.

Join us in the next 21 days as we pray through our family values. As members of The Summit Church, we pursue the presence of God, build a foundation of prayer, stand on the authority of the Word of God, invite others into an authentic family, cultivate spiritual growth, reach the next generation, and advance God’s Kingdom. We will learn what the Bible says about each of these values, how our world longs to see them, and how they have impacted our family of churches.

Come discover your role in the household of God and leave an imprint on the heart of your city. Hear the Founder of the feast bid a starving world, “Come and eat.” Sit down at the table He has prepared for us.

But first, let us pray.
