As we get ready to "wrap up" all the gift buying and gift getting and gift giving for another Christmas season, let's look at God's word and unwrap the best gift of all. The gift of God's grace.

While Christmas is a time of many celebrations, not everyone feels bright and cheery. Some are having a "blue Christmas," perhaps because of a recent loss, an illness, or some anxiety. Through his life, John the Baptist teaches us some "lessons in the wilderness" to encourage us.

In our very pluralistic society, we could have conversations with people and ask, "What's your God like?" There are many ways we could describe our God, but one of the central features of God's nature and identity is to forgive sin. In this message, Pastor John looks at how each and every one of us can know the freedom of forgiveness.

"Attention shoppers! There are only 62 hours until Christmas!" In this message, Pastor John unwraps God's word that gives clear direction on exactly what He is looking for in us.

What does it mean to be made for more? It does not mean you were made for more stuff, not more power, not more money not more possessions. You were not born primarily for these things. Pastor John Stillman takes a deeper look into Psalm 122 to answer the question what were we made for.

Jesus’ church has been blessed and built up by a long and wonderful practice of sharing words of encouragement, direction, and praise. In this message, Pastor John provides a message to the church on how to commend the good in others while praising the glory of God.

What's holding you back from following Jesus? In this message, Pastor John looks at the story of a man who had been told lots of things that, before that moment, at least in his mind, kept him from making that kind of commitment. But then he hears of how Jesus came to remove the barriers that had kept him from a relationship with God.

A recent study found that Christians are not all that different from non-Christians when it comes to navigating their lives with compassion, understanding, mercy, and forgiveness. In this message, Pastor John gives a hopeful plan for having hard conversations that navigate towards unity.

We live in very polarized times. We might want to ignore hard conversations or try the ways that make sense to the world, but our aim is to honor Christ. In this message, Pastor John shares a Biblical perspective on how to have hard conversations.
