Audio Messages

Trading our limitations for God's strength.

Who is God? What is He like? Pastor John attempts to answer these nearly impossible questions in this inaugural message for Crosswinds Church.

Whose voice do you listen to? Whose voice moves you to action? In this message, we look at Jesus' open invitation to anyone in the sound of His voice to receive the soul-satisfying Living Water of eternal life, and pass it on to others.

Research tells us that insight tends to come from the right side of the brain, but the reality is that no one is really in his or her right mind apart from the work of God in transforming our way of thinking. In this message, Pastor John looks at how we can get into our right mind through the insight of the Scriptures.

On our own, we seem wired to resist change and fight for what is in our own best interest. However, real turnaround sometimes happens when we can say, "I have someone to guide me." When God spoke to young Samuel, and when he speaks to little boys and grown-up men and women today, He is giving a call to action and the promise of His help.

Jesus' return is immanent, and yet many are completely unaware of it. In this message, Pastor John looks at Jesus' warnings in a few parables that challenge us to wake up before it's too late and we are faced with God's judgment.

Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? Millions of us did. Resolutions to lose weight, quit smoking, change a personality trait, develop a good habit, be a happier person, go deeper spiritually. Resolutions and decisions to change are usually driven by a sense that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Resolutions often come out of pain and suffering. In this section of Paul’s letter to the Christians at Colossae, he shares how he has resolved to suffer for the cause of the gospel so that everyone could know the mysterious, revolutionary joy of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

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.

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.
