    Who Am I? | 12Stone Church

    Who Am I? In this week of At The Movies, we look at Creed and one of the most foundational questions we all wrestle with: Who am I? Through the story of Adonis Creed, we see what happens when we spend our lives fighting to prove ourselves, searching for identity in all the wrong places, and trying to make a name for ourselves. But our identity isn’t something we have to earn or prove—it’s something we receive from God. You’ll learn how to: • Stop fighting to prove who you are • Face the person you see in the mirror • Bring your brokenness and sin honestly to God • Find your identity as a son or daughter of God • Stop running from your Heavenly Father and start running to Him Adonis spent much of his life running from his father’s name while trying to establish an identity of his own. But the thing he was running from was the very thing he had been longing for. In the same way, we can spend our lives running from God while searching everywhere else for what only He can give us. Through Jesus, we don’t have to fight our way into God’s family. We are invited to surrender, be made new, and receive our identity as sons and daughters of God. You can spend your whole life trying to prove who you are until you discover whose you are. At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

    What Does It Cost To Follow Jesus? | 12Stone Church

    In this message, we look at the story of Abraham in Genesis 22 and what it means to trust God when following Him costs us something. Following Jesus is rooted in grace, but choosing to trust and follow Him often comes with a price. Whether it’s our relationships, finances, career, comfort, ambitions, or control, God invites us to hold nothing back and trust that He will provide. You’ll learn how to: • Recognize what you may be withholding from God • Trust God when obedience feels costly • Take steps of faith even when you can’t see the outcome • Believe that God will provide • Hold nothing back from God Abraham faced an impossible situation. God had promised him Isaac, yet God was asking him to surrender Isaac. Abraham chose faith, believing that somehow, God would provide. Faith doesn’t mean following God will always feel easy. Sometimes it means walking forward even when we can’t see how everything will work out. But Abraham’s story reminds us that the place of sacrifice can also become the place of God’s provision. We can hold nothing back from God because God held nothing back from us. He gave His Son for us, proving that we can trust Him with whatever He asks us to surrender. What price tag are you facing to follow Jesus today? At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

    4 Prayers For Our Church | 12Stone Church

    In this message, we look at four prayers for our church from the book of Acts and what it looks like to prepare ourselves for what God wants to do. We can’t manipulate or manufacture a move of God, but we can prepare for it. These four prayers challenge us to become a church that is rooted in God’s Word, devoted to prayer, connected in community, generous with what God has given us, and deeply burdened for people who are far from Jesus. You’ll learn how to: • Feed your own spiritual fire through God’s Word and prayer • Help create a church where every person is known and needed • Live with generosity as a normal response to what God is doing • Develop a heart that aches for people who are far from God The early church devoted themselves to God’s Word, fellowship, and prayer. Our source for truth has to be God’s Word, and our first response to the pressures and decisions of life should be prayer, not our last resort. God has also designed His church to be a place where people are known and needed. We were never meant to simply sit in a crowd. We are called to know one another, serve one another, and use the gifts God has given us for His Kingdom. Our prayer is that generosity would be normal and that our hearts would ache for the lost. Like the early church, may we recognize what God is doing and respond by giving Him our first and best, while carrying a burden for the people near to us who are far from Him. God, make us a church that feeds our fire with the Word and prayer, where everyone is known and needed, where generosity is normal, and where we ache for the lost.

    Why Do I Need Community? | 12Stone Church

    Why Do I Need Community? In this message, we unpack why following Jesus was never meant to be done alone and why spiritual community is essential to living in holy obedience. God uses His Word, His Spirit, and His people to shape us into who He has called us to be. Community gives us people who will walk with us, tell us the truth, pray for us, encourage us, and have the hard conversations that help us grow. You’ll learn how to: • Understand why you weren’t meant to follow Jesus alone • See the importance of spiritual community • Experience the freedom that comes through confession and prayer • Recognize the danger of isolation and secrecy • Take a step toward finding a group and doing life with others James 5:16 reminds us to confess our sins to one another and pray for one another so that we may be healed. God designed His people to live in community, because there are parts of our spiritual lives that were never meant to be carried alone. Following Jesus isn’t just about sitting in rows on Sunday. We need people around us who will help us pursue Jesus throughout the week. Sometimes breakthrough begins when we step out of isolation and into community.

    What Is The Bible? | 12Stone Church

    What is the Bible? In this message, we unpack what the Bible really is and how the way we view it changes the way we approach it. The Bible isn’t simply an instruction manual, a rule book, or a collection of fairy tales. It is the inspired Word of God, given through human authors as they were guided by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is God’s love letter to us. Through His Word, God wants us to know who He is, how He feels about us, and just how much He loves us. You’ll learn how to: • Change the way you view the Bible • See the Bible as God’s love letter to you • Understand why God’s Word is true • Discover the power of Scripture in your everyday life • Become devoted to reading and knowing God’s Word The Bible is true. The Bible is powerful. And God wants to speak to us through His Word.

    Why Don't I Want To Pray? | 12Stone Church

    Why can prayer feel so difficult, even when we know it matters? In this message, we unpack why we struggle to pray and what God actually invites us into through prayer. Prayer isn’t primarily transactional; it’s relational. It’s not just about asking God for what we need, it’s about building a relationship with our Heavenly Father. Whether prayer feels awkward, unanswered, or simply hard to prioritize, God is inviting us to come closer, trust Him, and pray boldly. You’ll learn how to: * Identify what may be keeping you from prayer. * See prayer as a relationship with God, not just a transaction. * Keep praying even when God’s answer doesn’t come the way you expected. * Move toward bold, expectant prayer instead of settling for less than what God offers. Prayer isn’t about having the perfect words or getting everything right. It’s an invitation to know your Heavenly Father. When we understand who we’re talking to, prayer becomes more than something we should do, it becomes a relationship we get to have.

    What's Around You Gets In You | 12Stone Church

    What if the people, habits, and voices around you are shaping who you’re becoming? In this message, we kick off our fall season as we explore Romans 12:1–2 and discover one powerful truth: what’s around you gets in you. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to resist the patterns of the world and instead be transformed by God’s presence, God’s Word, and God’s people. This message will challenge you to evaluate what’s shaping your life and encourage you to build rhythms that lead you closer to Christ. You’ll learn how to: Recognize the influences that are shaping your faith. Guard against the patterns of the world and pursue God’s truth. Build a life that is transformed through worship, community, and spiritual discipline. What’s around you eventually gets in you. The environments you choose today will shape the person you become tomorrow. As we begin a new season together, let’s choose to surround ourselves with the things that point us to Jesus and trust Him to transform us from the inside out.

    Yes, Jesus Can Save Anyone | 12Stone Church

    What if the person you’ve been praying for isn’t too far gone?   In this message, we continue our Who’s Your One? series as we explore the story of the paralyzed man in Matthew 9 and Mark 2. Through the faith of four friends who refused to give up, we’re reminded that our role is to carry people to Jesus, and that Jesus alone has the power to forgive, heal, restore, and save.   You’ll learn how to: Recognize the spiritual brokenness in the people around you. Trust that no one is beyond the saving power of Jesus. Faithfully bring your one to Jesus and let Him do what only He can do.   No one is too broken. No one is too far gone. No one is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Yes, Jesus can save anyone
