You and I will likely spend more time as a healthy older adult than any other season of life. Most of our culture is focused on the earlier seasons of life, and yet most of our time will be lived as “senior citizens.” Does it make sense to be prepared for it and understand it from a Biblical perspective? In this last message on the story of Joshua, Pastor John approaches our last navigation checkpoint: How can I make the most of all the years God will give me?

The command to “be strong and courageous” surrounds the life and leadership of Joshua more than any other person in Scripture. The reality is, we all could benefit from courage. In this message, we'll look at our second navigation checkpoint: "How can I find courage to do the seemingly impossible?"

Joshua is a major player in the Biblical story, but first he was a minor character. The early part of Joshua's story illustrates the important principle that what we do when we are living in the shadows - when no one but God is looking - matters. In this message, Pastor John describes three points of alignment that we get from the time Joshua spent drawing near to the presence of God.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
