Maalula, Syria is one of the last places on earth where they still speak the dialect of Aramaic that Jesus spoke while He was on earth. In this message, Pastor John explores how the “language of Jesus must survive and will survive” – through us, His followers.

The Word becomes flesh. Benjamin Franklin said, “A man who is wrapped up in himself makes a very small package.” Jesus wrapped Himself up in our flesh, and it means everything.

What are the most hoped for things in the world? We could look and look, but Scripture tells us that what we really need and have is available to us through the gospel. In this message, we will look at five things the gospel provides to all believers.

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus endured His “dark night of the soul.” In that time, He turned to His Father in prayer. In the same way, we too will have difficult days and dark nights. In this message, Pastor John looks at Jesus’ example and how He instructs us to pray.

Before Jesus ascended back to His Father in heaven, He gave His disciples these instructions: “Do not leave the city, but wait for the gift that my Father has promised.” What do you do during times when God says, “Wait.” In this section of Acts, we see the church waiting and preparing for God to act in a powerful way. There are some important lessons that we as a church can learn about prayer, unity, and courage.

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.

As Americans we get very sentimental about some things that seem to typify American ideals. Things like, "Mom, baseball, and apple pie." Moms mean giving and sharing. But how much do our lives exemplify God's ideals? In this message, Pastor John focuses on how the humility of a shared soul brings great glory to God.

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.
