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.

If you want to grow in the fruit of the Spirit and live a fruitful Christian life, this message will help you understand God’s purpose for your growth.

In this message, Pastor Stille encourages the church that continual change to reflect the image of Christ is possible through the power of the gospel. The gospel isn't only for the beginning or end of a Christian's life; it's for the entire journey. It comes with grace that enables us to bear fruit for the glory of Christ.

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.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated by the Bible, discouraged in your reading, or unsure how to understand Scripture faithfully, this message offers clarity, encouragement, and practical help rooted in the gospel.

Pastor Brent Stille challenges every believer to read the entire Bible, uncovering its life-changing wisdom, guidance, and encouragement. Discover practical tips and inspiring reasons to make daily Scripture reading a priority.
