Insulting God
Matthew 27:27-44 | Sun, Mar 25, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman
Share
In Matthew's account of Jesus' suffering and crucifixion, he described in detail the shame against Jesus' person, and the pain inflicted on Jesus' body. In this message, Pastor John illustrates the many shameful insults hurled at the perfect Son of God and provides a warning of how we might, at some times, insult God even today. But God will forgive your insults against His Son if you repent and "kiss the Son."
Jesus Really Rose From Death
1 Kings 28:1-15 | Sun, Apr 08, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

No event in history has been more studied, scrutinized, and written about than the death and resurrection of Jesus. Today, we are invited by an angel from heaven to come and see – and believe –that the tomb is empty! That He is risen!

Christ Died for Our Sins
Matthew 27:45-61 | Sun, Apr 01, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

Sacrificial acts of valor are uncommon. People typically don’t sacrifice their lives for others. When the Bible tells us that Jesus died for our sins, we are reminded that He sacrificed His life so that we could draw near to God with confidence.

Standing on the side of Truth
Matthew 27:11-26 | Sun, Mar 18, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

Sometimes we are faced with the opportunity to speak for Jesus before strangers, people with problems and needs, people we don’t get along with, enemies, people that want to intimidate us, people of bad character. What do we do? Jesus came into that kind of environment and says, “This is why I have come – to testify to the truth."

Made for More
Psalm 122:1-9 | Sun, Dec 04, 2022 | Pastor John Stillman

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.

Jesus’ church has been blessed and built up by a long and wonderful practice of sharing words of encouragement, direction, and praise. In this message, Pastor John provides a message to the church on how to commend the good in others while praising the glory of God.

What's preventing you?
Acts 8:26-39 | Sun, Jun 09, 2019 | Pastor John Stillman

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. But then he hears of how Jesus came to remove the barriers that had kept him from a relationship with God.

How to have hard conversations - pt. ii
Colossians 3:12-17 | Sun, May 12, 2019 | Pastor John Stillman

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.

How to have hard conversations
Colossians 3:5-17 | Sun, May 05, 2019 | Pastor John Stillman

We live in very polarized times. We might want to ignore hard conversations or try the ways that make sense to the world, but our aim is to honor Christ. In this message, Pastor John shares a Biblical perspective on how to have hard conversations.

I want to see Jesus feed the hungry
Mark 6:30-44 | Sun, Apr 28, 2019 | Pastor John Stillman

Life can be complicated, but Jesus knows what each of us needs. In this message, Pastor John looks at the miraculous feeding of 5,000 to see some lessons on how Jesus came to sort out our complications.
