When you've tried to take the steps to resolve conflict but it's still there, what do you do? What do you do when all else fails? In this message, Pastor John looks at what Scripture has to say about moving ahead and leaving the conflict in the past.

“I’m sorry.” Just two words, and sometimes very difficult to say. But if you’ve ever begun a conversation with those two words, there is a lot of promise in them too, because those words open the door to overcoming conflict. In this message we'll focus on learning how to say "I'm sorry" with some very practical words from Scripture.

The Christian life is harder than the non-Christian life because people will hurt you and you don't get to turn around and treat them the same way. Instead, followers of Jesus are to forgive and reconcile. In this message, Pastor John walks us through the steps to get to the place of forgiveness and reconciliation.

Conflict brings both bad opportunities and good. The bad side is when we try to escape conflict or attach others in response to it. The good side is when we use the peacemaking steps that Jesus gave us in Matthew 18:15-20. In today's message, Pastor John addresses the first practical steps of peacemaking.

There is a great deal of conflict in our world right now, but this is not really anything new. Conflict is an inevitable fact of life in this world. God's aim is not for us to be completely free of conflict, but to resolve our conflicts using the wisdom and ways that He has provided. In this message, Pastor John reviews responses to conflict that are peace faking and peace breaking, before we see God's great peace making response.

Jesus has a mission in the world and He wants our work to be His work. At the same time, Satan has an anti-mission in the world. What are we supposed to do? In this message, Pastor John looks at the parable of the weeds and what our mission is supposed to be.

God's purpose is to make you like His Son Jesus Christ. How? Through the sanctifying work of the Spirit. In this message, Pastor John shares three truths for new creations.

We all have different tasks, different to-do lists. And while the Bible instructs us to do certain things, Christianity is not a to-do list of things for you to work harder on. It's a response to the grace of God. In this message, Pastor John looks at Paul's instructions to all the different life-stage groups that are represented in a church and how the gospel should intersect with each life.

How can I really be at peace with God? Does anything work? This is a real question for us all. In this message, Pastor John looks at the testimony of the psalmist as he cried for God's mercy to rescue him from a pit of despair, and the words of Jesus, the ultimate King who went into the pit for His subjects.

When Jesus Christ walked on earth, He had a mission. Remarkably, towards the end of His time on earth, He passed that mission on to His followers. In today's dark, confusing, and conflicting days, is that mission still alive? In today's message, Pastor John looks at how Jesus' describes His ongoing mission of bringing light into a dark work just before He heals a man who had lived in darkness his entire life.
