Jesus commissions His followers to be disciple-makers, and part of what we are to do is baptize believers as a sign and symbol of their personal faith in Jesus. In this message, Pastor John share three encouraging words for those who are baptized and for the church.

Jesus has all authority and commissions us to be personally involved in His mission to make disciples of all nations. And here’s what He says He will personally do: “I will be with you always.” In this message, Pastor John explores the depth of Jesus’ personal, powerful, privileged, and promising commitment to enable us to accomplish our Mission: Possible.

Statements of faith aren’t much good unless they are translated into the real world. The good Samaritan showed love to his neighbor in a real way and gives us an example of what it means to be faithful, available, and teachable. Are you F.A.T.?

It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of “being a Christian” as American churchgoers define it: someone who believes in God, loves his or her family, and attends church regularly. Rather than ask, “Am I a good Christian?” we should start asking the question: "Am I a good Christ?" In this message, Pastor John shares how Jesus’ command to love one another is His premier command to obey that identifies us as His true disciples.

Jesus' incarnation was in many ways a mission trip, a cross-cultural move starker than any missionary has ever experienced. In John's gospel alone, Jesus says more than 40 times that He was a missionary from heaven who came to minister in our earthly culture. And, likewise, Jesus' commands us to be missionaries in culture. His command could not be clearer, nor more worthy to be obeyed.

In John Chapter 7 Jesus the man who claimed to be God tells the most religious people on the planet that they do not know God! They seek to kill him yet in His mercy Jesus invites even his enemies to drink of Him and know eternal life. Where are you quenching your thirst for God? In Jesus or in the functional saviors of your life. If in Jesus then according to His word out of your heart will flow rivers of living water to refresh thirsty souls around you.

When the angels appeared to shepherds to announce the birth of Jesus, it was a perfect example of the gospel. In this message for Christmas Eve, Pastor John explains how Jesus' birth really is good news for all the people.

While the country has unemployment rates hovering around 10%, we look at a parable where Jesus teaches that His Father is like an employer who hires laborers - not because He needs workers, but because we need work. In this sermon, Pastor John explores the grace of God, and how we need to be cautious to not turn it into legalism.

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.
