Stonehill Church

Have you ever asked God to guide you, then gone through the rest of your day without giving Him another thought? What does it look like to keep in step with the Holy Spirit when you’re anxious, facing a decision, or struggling to change? This Sunday, we’ll continue that conversation in John 14:18–31 and make room for the Holy Spirit to move in our hearts. Join us at one of our three services. Who...

What if the reason you’re exhausted isn’t because you aren’t trying hard enough, but because you’re trying to do something you were never meant to do alone? In John 14:12–17, Jesus makes some astonishing promises. What do these promises actually mean, and how could they change the way you face temptation, difficult relationships, anxiety, and everyday decisions? Join us this Sunday as we discover...

With so many voices telling us what to believe and how to live, how can we know if we are following the right one? This Sunday, we’re continuing through the Gospel of John and looking at John 14:5–11. Jesus makes one of His clearest and most powerful statements…one that has practical implications for how we navigate our everyday lives.

The scene is filled with fear and tension... Jesus preparing His disciples for their next chapter in life as He approaches His death and departure. But Jesus leaves them with a promise that brings hope to their troubled hearts. But this promise is not only for the disciples, its for us as well as we try to navigate life's ups and downs. When we trust God and spend time with Christ, we will live a...

Ten years. Countless stories. One faithful God. Stonehill is turning 10, and this Sunday, August 30, we are celebrating in a BIG way! We’re going to party like it’s 2016 as we remember everything God has done and look ahead to where He is leading us next.

Jesus spent significant amounts of time gathering in community with others. He modeled for us what it looks like to live life in community and why it is so important. When we gather in community as Jesus gathered in community, we become a church that is becoming more like Jesus.

Something is always shaping our priorities, relationships, and impact. Are we simply following our culture, or allowing Jesus to transform us? This Sunday, Pastor Doug continues our series A Church That Is as we study Romans 12:1–13. We will consider what it means to offer our everyday lives to God, find our place in His family, and reflect Jesus to others. With school back in session and routines...

A church can grow larger without growing deeper. Attendance can increase while our love, dependence, and resemblance to Jesus remain unchanged. That creates a personal tension for all of us: am I just attending church, or am I actually becoming more like Jesus? So how does Jesus define real spiritual growth and what would it look like in your life? Join us this Sunday as we begin our new 4-week se...

Everyone talks about love. We want it, celebrate it, post about it, and expect it from others. But as Tina Turner famously asked, “What’s love got to do with it?” Apparently, quite a bit. 😊 But what if we have misunderstood what love really is and what it is supposed to reveal? This Sunday, Pastor Doug will open John 13:31–38 and unpack one of Jesus’ final and most challenging conversations with...

At the Table

Feeling exhausted trying to keep up, prove yourself, or carry the weight of life? This Sunday, Pastor Doug will teach from John 13:1–17 as we discover how Jesus offers something different. In a world that tells us to promote ourselves, Jesus shows us a better way. We'll also celebrate Communion together as we remember the One who picked up a towel before He went to the cross.

Why do people ignore what they know is true? We all do it. We know what we should do, but something keeps us from taking the next step. Pastor Doug teaches through John 12:37-50, we'll discover why information alone doesn't change us, how our hearts can slowly become hardened, and how genuine faith can bring freedom, purpose, and direction to everyday life.

The Way of the Cross

The King Arrives 

The Price of Worship

Have you ever known exactly what you should do... and still struggled to do it? Most of us assume our biggest problem is a lack of information. If we just knew more, we'd make better decisions. But what if that's not the real issue? This Sunday, we'll be in John 11:45-57, right after one of the most dramatic miracles in the Bible. The evidence is undeniable. The crowd has seen something they can't...

What do you do when two truths collide? Some tensions in life are easy to resolve. Others aren't. There are moments when what we know to be true seems to clash with what we see, what we feel, and what we're experiencing right in front of us.  In John 11, Jesus arrives at a scene filled with grief, confusion, disappointment, and unanswered questions. What unfolds next reveals two truths that still...

There are so many voices competing for our attention and shaping the way we think, live, and respond. But in John 10, Jesus asks a simple question: Whose voice are you following? This Sunday, we are continuing through the Gospel of John as we look at Jesus as the Good Shepherd and the confidence we can have in Him.

Most of us move through life listening to more voices than we realize with expectations, anxieties, opinions, pressures, distractions. Some are loud. Others quietly shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. In John 10, Jesus describes Himself as a Shepherd whose sheep know His voice. Not perfectly, but personally. A voice that leads instead of pushes. A voice that brings peace instea...

Seeing Jesus Changes Everything

This Sunday at Stonehill, we’re celebrating all the amazing moms and mother figures in our lives! We’ll have photo booths, a special gift for every mom, and a meaningful Mother’s Day service as we study John 9 together. This week’s message is for anyone who has ever asked, “God, what are You doing?” In this passage, Jesus meets a man born blind and completely changes his life. Maybe you’re walking...

Finding Who You Are in Who He Is

Let’s be honest this Sunday’s message might be one of the most awkward church topics ever and also one of the most important. Culture has a lot to say about sex. God does too. If we as a church don’t talk about it the world will define it for us. So this Sunday we are unpacking His design biblically and why it actually leads to freedom not restriction.

A Legacy of Faith and Honor

Let’s be honest. Most of us learned about relationships from movies, social media, and advice from people who are also trying to figure it out. But God is not vague when it comes to relationships. He is specific and intentional in how He designed them to work. This Sunday we are starting a new series called Divine Design, a biblical guide to relationships. We are beginning with the purpose of sing...
