Christlikeness - Quent Still

January 26, 2026·33 min·1 clip

Quint reveals how whatever captivates our awe controls our lives, and it's meant to land on God.

Good morning becomes a summons. Quint greets familiar faces and new ones, describing Everyday People as normal people learning to love, enjoy, and follow Jesus. Then he sets the plumb line for the year. When strategies start piling up, he asks what should sit at the center of the church. His answer is Christlikeness. The sermon keeps coming back to the same movement: behold Christ, become like Christ, and get sent by the beauty and mission of Christ. Formation is not decoration here. Quint treats discipleship as the mission of the church, not a spiritual extra. He reaches back to the 12 guys whose lives, he says, changed in the presence of God until they gave themselves away for the greatest treasure. That line reaches the room now. Everyday People exists, in his telling, because those 12 guys and those who followed saw Jesus, became more like him, planted churches, and carried the commission forward. Romans 8 anchors the sermon. Quint pauses over the promise that all things work together for good, then names the purpose: God conforming his people to the image of his Son. Good has a shape. It is not just comfort, success, or relief. It is God forming Christ in his people for their good and his glory. The sermon turns warmly direct, asking whether desire and unbelief are being drawn into God's presence. Communion becomes the response, and Quint closes by praying for obstacles to fall away, joy and belief to deepen, and the church to behold Christ together.

As heard by us

A sermon that treats the church's work as beholding Christ and being formed into his image.

This sermon opens in ordinary life and settles into a clear start of year line for the church: look at Jesus, be shaped by Jesus, and let that shape the mission.
