How should we remember-honor-memorialize Jesus? In this message, Pastor John looks at the first Lord’s Supper (Communion) and remembers that Jesus has rescued us from Satan, sin, and death.

You and I were created for relationship with God and each other. Our attempts to fix our broken relationship with God through good deeds can sometimes cause us to feel frustrated. In this message, Pastor John shows how re-creating what we were made for isn’t from what we DO, but what Jesus has DONE.

One of the things that often gets in the way of our success in mission – or even getting out there in the first place – is our rules. We have our rules about church, religion, who we’re willing to hang out with – and in the course of one Saturday-afternoon dinner, Jesus breaks our man-made rules that get in the way of mission. In this message, Pastor John shows that the gospel is all about God breaking into our humanity and system of rules that keep people from hearing the gospel and breaking free from the bondage of sin.

It seems that the confusion about faith has become so profound, that confusion about faith is considered more acceptable than certainty. In this series of messages, Pastor John explores the question, “What is faith really all about?” In this message, we recall that Jesus calls us to trust and service.

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.
