    How Does God Rewire Me For Marriage | 12Stone Church

    Marriage doesn’t fail because people don’t want it bad enough. It struggles because most of us were never taught how to practice it the way God designed it. In this message, we unpack a powerful and challenging truth: marriage is uphill. It’s hard. And the reason it’s hard isn’t just compatibility, personality, or communication — it goes all the way back to the very first marriage. When sin entered the picture through Adam and Eve, it pulled humanity away from God’s original design and placed us at the bottom of the climb. Getting back to what we were created for takes intentional effort, surrender, and a lifetime of practice. God’s vision for marriage isn’t vague or unattainable. His divine design centers on unity and oneness — a supernatural work that also requires daily commitment. The problem isn’t that God’s design doesn’t work. The problem is that we often try to experience the blessings of marriage without aligning ourselves with the design that produces them. Throughout this message, you’ll hear why all the divine blessings of marriage are found inside God’s divine design, and why rewiring how you see marriage is essential before you can live it well. This isn’t about trying harder or fixing yourself — it’s about letting God get behind the scenes and rewire your thinking, your expectations, and your practices according to His purpose. Rewiring takes cooperation. It takes agreement with God. It takes surrender. And it requires moving past yourself — past baggage, selfishness, emotional immaturity, and poor relationship habits that keep you stuck at the bottom of the climb.

    How Do I Grow Spiritually | 12Stone Church

    Most of us treat our spiritual walk like a solo project, believing we can reach our full potential through personal study or by watching a service from a distance. We try to handle our struggles in private, only to find ourselves stuck in a cycle of resetting the same old habits without ever addressing the root cause. But real growth isn't designed to happen in isolation; it requires a specific environment to actually take root. True spiritual maturity is a team sport, not a solo pursuit. There are blind spots in our character, our marriages, and our careers that we simply cannot see or fix on our own. We need a biblical community that loves us enough to call us up to a higher standard and carry us through the heavy seasons when we feel overwhelmed. You might be just one honest, biblical relationship away from the breakthrough you’ve been praying for. Community isn't just an optional resource or a social club; it is the fundamental context where our faith becomes practical. God designed us to be sharpened by others so that we don’t have to drown in our own secrets. It’s time to stop trying to "one another" without others and invite the right people into your journey. Step out of isolation and let the real work of growth begin within the body of Christ. At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

    How Does Remembering Help Me? | 12Stone Church

    It’s surprisingly easy to let life’s big moments slip by and forget how much has actually happened over the last twelve months! We often move so fast that we lose sight of how God has been looking out for us. This week, we looked at how pausing to remember isn't just a sentimental exercise—it’s Biblical! And it helps us gain peace and perspective, regardless of what's happening around us. Think of your phone's photo library as a modern version of a memory jar. When you scroll back through your pictures from 2025, you start to see the full story of where you’ve been and what God has done, even in the messy parts. Before the new year officially kicks off, take a few minutes to look through your photos, send a quick text to someone you’ve missed, and be honest with God about what you’re grateful for and where you still need some help. It’s a simple way to head into next year with a much clearer head and a lot more gratitude. Your 2025 year-end giving advances our Unshakeable vision as we partner with God to build an Unshakeable future. As you put God first in your giving, He continues to use your generosity to move His Kingdom forward. Thank you for continuing this journey with us.
