What do you hope to do with the time you have remaining on earth? Doesn't it make sense to do here, with whatever time you have left, what you won't be able to do in heaven? As Jesus winds up His charge to His followers, He gives us three sobering conclusions for our series of weekend messages Kingdom Come, Kingdom Go.

Jesus came 2,000 years ago to extend His kingdom to earth. And just before He left, He effectively said, "Keep it going. Go and make disciples of all nations." In this message, Pastor John looks at what kinds of people Jesus is willing to use and describes Jesus' simple A-B-C plan for mission.

How do you react when you score a great deal on some purchase? The kingdom of God is like finding a great deal, but it's also not really like that. Because while salvation is free, it's not cheap.

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.

Jesus told many parables to communicate truth about God's kingdom so that we could live out God's purpose for our lives. But are we listening? In this message, Pastor John looks at the parable of the sower and how followers of Christ can improve their hearing.

It's easy to be blown away by what is happening in the world around us and complain. But a different kind of response overflows from gospel-hearts. In this message, Pastor John looks at four examples of Christlike obedience as a way for us to avoid grumbling.

It is quite easy to feel like a nobody whose prayers are not heard or is overlooked in this world. But when the world says you are a nobody, God says, "Noel" and reverses the world's negative outlook. In this message, Pastor John illustrates from the story of the birth of John the Baptist how when we look upward, we can see things as God sees them.

It's not always easy being a dad. There are many reasons for this, but having wisdom and insight makes it easier. In this message, Pastor John looks at Solomon's prayer for wisdom to help us learn how to get wisdom.

It is very easy when we hear the commands of God to think of them as duty rather than something to delight in. But the psalmist says there is a blessedness that comes from meditating on and obeying and delighting in the commands of God day and night. In this final message from 1 Thessalonians, Pastor John looks at how delighting in the commands of God gives us great reason to worship.

Living wisely in our everyday world is challenging – and nowhere does this prove to be more true than our words. It’s so easy for our conversations to quickly turn sour, to go where he had not intended to go. In this message, Pastor John shares wisdom from Proverbs on how the tongue can be transformed from a factory of hurt to a fountain of life.
