Making money, giving it away, and enjoying both
1 Timothy 6:17 | Sun, Nov 11, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

Poor management of our time and resources costs you and I personally. This is why Jesus devoted one-fourth of His parables to how we manage our belongings – our money, our abilities, and our time. Two management experiences that we usually don’t find enjoyable are going to work and giving away our hard-earned money. By following the guidance of Scripture, you can learn how to make money, give it away, and enjoy both.
Downtime
| Sun, Dec 02, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

Time is one of the most precious resources that we have, and yet it is one of the most neglected areas of management. Most people live with little or no margin in their time. As we pursue Godly priorities, He will lead us into a place of margin.

Finding Financial Margin
2 Corinthians 8 | Sun, Nov 25, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

Today we’re going to look at finances, and specifically, how to find financial margin. The closer you live to the limit of what you make, the less margin you will have and the more tension you feel. We weren’t meant to live on 100% of what we make. God, in His wisdom and love, intends for us to have margin.

We Belong to Jesus
Romans 1:6 | Sun, Nov 04, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

For the next few weeks we’re going to be talking about why and how to properly manage or use the resources that God has given to each of us.

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.

The Gospel is Free but Missions Costs Money
2 Chronicles 8:1-15 | Sun, Feb 17, 2019 | Pastor John Stillman
