These are tough economic times: job losses, declining portfolios, and dropping home values. In this message from 2 Corinthians 8-9, Pastor John makes some observations on how to find financial grace through giving, even in the hardest economic times.
How To Be A Martyr
Acts 21:1-20 | Mon, Mar 02, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

We all know that we only have just so much time on this earth. We sometimes ask, When will I die? but a more relevant question is, How am I living? In this last “About Face” message, Pastor John explains that living as a martyr means living as a witness to the fact that your life is going to extend beyond your earthly existence.

How To Be A Mentor
Acts 20:1-38 | Mon, Feb 23, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

Mentoring is a push in the right direction, a help up the ladder, the more experienced helping the less experienced succeed. In this message, Pastor John talks about the need for mentoring relationships.

How To Be Spiritual
Acts 19:1-41 | Mon, Feb 16, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

To some, being spiritual means dedicated to your religion. Or it can mean meditation, mysticism, or not connected with the here and now.

How To Be An Influencer
Acts 18:1-28 | Mon, Feb 02, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

All of us are influencers at one level or another. Influence is about more than just using the right words. It’s about recognizing and practicing some vital behaviors. In this message, Pastor John looks at the life of Paul to discover some keys to influence.

Opening the Door to Mission
Acts 17:16-34 | Mon, Jan 26, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

There’s no doubt that we live in a pluralistic culture. Plurality is a fact of our increasingly mobile society, and technology which shortens the time and distance between cultures. What we need to learn is how to respond to the ideology of pluralism – that faith is private, or that different religions are not a matter of truth vs. falsehood, but of different perceptions of the same truth.

Opening the Door to Love
Acts 17:1-15 | Mon, Jan 19, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

Do you want to be more loving? The Bible is not for information, but for transformation, and in reading Scripture, we can become transformed into people who are more loving and less loveless.

Opening the Door to Freedom
Acts 16:16-40 | Mon, Jan 12, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

God opens the door to freedom and true worship. In this message, Pastor John shows how one man’s imprisonment led to another man’s freedom – and how we can all find freedom by calling on Jesus’ name

Opening the Door to Something New
Acts 16:6-15 | Mon, Jan 05, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

Chances are, you are overcommitted, and it’s time for you and I to sort out our commitments. You will be more effective in life being fully committed to a few good things, rather than half-committed to a dozen. In today’s message, Pastor John talks about how God opens the door to a new mission in life.

Best. Gift. Ever.
John 1:1-5 | Tue, Dec 08, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

We tend to forget God's grace and His gifts and take them for granted. In this message to prepare us for Christmas, Pastor John reminds us to believe the Gift-Giver and receive His Gift.

Made for More
Psalm 122:1-9 | Sun, Dec 04, 2022 | Pastor John Stillman

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.
