Have you ever wondered what you are responsible for in your sanctification? God clearly has a role in your sanctification, but what are you responsible for? Examining John 15 and Luke 9, Pastor Stille answers that question as he concludes our sermon series on pursuing godly maturity.

What does real spiritual growth look like? In this message from the Pursuing Godly Maturity series, we explore God’s call for every Christian to bear fruit. Drawing from Ezekiel 36, John 15, Galatians 5, and 2 Peter 1, this sermon shows how God produces lasting fruit through a changed heart, godly conduct, and faithful gospel witness.

Christian fruitfulness is not about legalism or outward performance. It flows from abiding in Christ and depending on His grace through the hardships of life. Learn how God uses adversity, grace, and obedience to grow spiritual maturity and bring glory to Himself.

How should Christians read the Bible? In this message from Luke 24, we learn how Jesus Himself teaches His disciples to understand Scripture—and how that same approach can transform the way we read our Bibles today.

On the road to Emmaus, the risen Christ opens the Scriptures for two discouraged disciples and shows them that God speaks through words, with precision, to real people in real history, with one intended meaning that ultimately points to Him. As Jesus explains the Law and the Prophets, confused hearts are warmed, weary faith is restored, and obedient lives are set in motion.

This sermon explores how to study the Bible the way Jesus wants you to—not as a confusing religious task, but as a life-giving encounter with the living Savior. You’ll discover why context matters, why careful reading is essential, how all Scripture fits together around Christ, and why Bible study should always lead to belief, obedience, and joy.
