For two thousand years, Christians have accepted ridicule and insults because of their connection to Jesus.

When we break the ties that bind us to our community, co-workers, and family, through faith in Jesus Christ and allegiance to Him, we end up with a new family, a new way to use our talents, and a new citizenship in Heaven.

The conversion of Saul of Tarsus is one of the most well documented conversions in all of Scripture. On the Damascus Road, Saul was transformed from a persecutor of the church to a promoter of the gospel.

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.
