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.

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 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' incarnation was in many ways a mission trip, a cross-cultural move starker than any missionary has ever experienced.

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 holding you back from following Jesus? In this message, Pastor John looks at the story of a man who had been told lots of things that, before that moment, at least in his mind, kept him from making that kind of commitment.

A recent study found that Christians are not all that different from non-Christians when it comes to navigating their lives with compassion, understanding, mercy, and forgiveness. In this message, Pastor John gives a hopeful plan for having hard conversations that navigate towards unity.
