The Teen Years
Daniel 1 | Sun, Oct 07, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says “there is a season for every activity under heaven.” Just like spring makes way for summer and fall is nature’s way of preparing the world for winter, the teenage years are just a preparation time for young adulthood, and the physical and mental changes of middle-age are just part of getting ready for old-age.
The Middle-Age Years
3 John | Sun, Oct 21, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

Today, we’re looking at the season of life from 40 to 59 years-old. It’s during middle-age that many choose to place a new focus on their health. This is wise, but our spiritual health is even more important than physical health. The examination may be uncomfortable, but Jesus, the Great Physician, provides us any healing that we need.

Old Age
Psalm 90 | Sun, Oct 28, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

Today, we’re concluding our look at the Seasons of Life by considering the last phase, age 60 and up. Many have a negative view of old age and do what they can to avoid any appearance of age. But the Bible presents a positive view of what it means to be old. At the same time, Psalm 90 teaches that our days on earth need to be lived with wisdom that comes from an understanding of God’s eternal plan.

Young Adult Life
Mark 10:17-31 | Sun, Oct 14, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

Today, we’re looking at the season of life from 20 to 39 years-old. It’s in the twenty-something years that God wants us to open our eyes to the resources that He has blessed us with. The “life lesson” of this stage of life is that our treasure, talents, and time are resources to be invested. Jesus challenged a man in his twenties to invest where the need was greatest – his own soul.

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.

What's preventing you?

What's holding you back from following Jesus?

Mark 6:30-44 | Sun, Apr 28, 2019 | Pastor John Stillman
