How Do I Have Peace?

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 18:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? For years, I lived with a "raging river of angst" under the surface—trying to be my own protector and provider while the pressure of leadership and life slowly took me out.

In this message, I’m sharing something I have never taught in my 36 years as a senior pastor. It’s not just about words; it’s a shift in theology that moved me from living under undoing pressure to receiving God’s profound peace.

We’ll explore:

The Bridge of Prayer: How prayer moves us from self-sufficiency to total dependence on the Lord.

Finding Calm in the Storm: Why we should stop asking God to change the storms around us and start asking Him to change the storm within us.

Surrendering Control: Recognizing that we are not the primary protectors or providers for our families or our lives—He is.

Whether you’re a long-time believer or "spiritually unresolved," there is a peace available to you that doesn't depend on your circumstances. Join us as we learn how to truly say, "God’s got this."

EASTER 2026

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 18:00:00 -0400

Happy Easter! 🌿 In today’s message, we’re diving into the real meaning of the resurrection. It’s more than just a tradition; it’s about a power that can restore, forgive, and provide a brand-new starting point for anyone who feels powerless.

We also share the incredible story of Amy, who found a foundation of love and worth through Christ when she felt she had nowhere else to turn.

Who Is Jesus, Really?

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 18:00:00 -0400

"Who do people say the Son of Man is?"

2,000 years ago, Jesus asked his disciples a deconstruction question. He wanted to get to the bottom of the opinions, biases, and inconsistencies people had about him.

In this Palm Sunday message, we explore the "origin story" of Jesus to move past our assumptions. Whether your view of Jesus was shaped by your parents, your childhood church, or the Christians you’ve met along the way, it’s time to ask the most important question: "But what about you? Who do you say I am?".

We discuss: * The "Crocs" vs. "Jesus" analogy—how we form opinions based on others. * What it actually means to "deconstruct". * Why everyone has an opinion on Jesus, from your grandma to your favorite politician.

How To Stand Against Darkness

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 18:00:00 -0400

We are wrapping up our journey through the book of Ephesians by looking at what it truly means to engage in spiritual warfare. In this teaching, we take a "field trip" to Caesarea Philippi—a place known in the ancient world as the "Gates of Hades"—to understand why Jesus chose the darkest backdrops to make His most powerful declarations.

Key Takeaways:

- The Battle is Real: We aren't fighting against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces.

- The Victory is Won: We don't fight for victory; we fight from the victory Jesus already purchased.

- Stand Firm: Standing firm doesn’t mean standing still—it means planting your feet and being ready to take territory for the Kingdom.

If you feel like the world is shaky, remember that building your life on the Rock makes you unshakable.

What Is the Armor Of God?

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 18:00:00 -0400

Are you fighting in your own strength or God’s? In this message, we explore what it truly means to put on the full armor of God and recognize the spiritual battle we face every day. We often find our security in earthly achievements—our "crowns"—but the only response to seeing the true King is to lay those crowns at His feet.

Join us as we discuss:

Why people are the prize, not the enemy.
How to identify the "idols" in our lives that we don't recognize until God asks for them.
Advancing forward with the Gospel of peace instead of just trying to survive.

Key Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18.

How Do We Pray Under Pressure?

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 18:00:00 -0400

"You better start believing in spiritual wars... you're in one."

In this midpoint update of our Unshakable Vision journey, we dive into Ephesians 6 to discover the "activator" for spiritual victory: Prayer. While the armor of God is our protection, prayer is the plumbing that brings the power of the Holy Spirit into our daily lives.

In this message, we discuss:

The Reality of the War: Why your life pressure is often a spiritual battle.

The Five Foundations: Remembering that Jesus has already won and the enemy is defeated.

The Faucet Analogy: How to practically "turn on" the power of God when you feel overwhelmed.

Jeff’s Story: A powerful testimony of remaining unshakable through loss and financial trials.

Key Dates: 🗓 March 22nd: Unshakable Midpoint Commitment Sunday. Join us as we recommit to what God is doing in our church and community.

Reflection Question: What is the "pressure point" in your life right now? Take a moment to turn on the faucet and talk to the One who moves heaven and earth.

Are We Aware of the Real Battle?

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 18:00:00 -0500

Unshakable: The Battle for Your Soul

The battle we face isn’t against the people around us—it’s a spiritual struggle for our hearts, our families, and our purpose.

Key takeaways from today’s message:

Identify the Real Enemy: Our fight isn't against flesh and blood.
Fight From Victory: Jesus has already won the war; we stand firm in His power.
Suit Up: Putting on the armor of God starts with knowing your identity in Christ.

We aren't just trying to survive the battle; we are called to take back territory for the Kingdom.

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 18:00:00 -0500

What Is Submission in Marriage? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 18:00:00 -0500

What Is Submission In Marriage?

The word submission can feel heavy or misunderstood, especially when it comes to marriage. Is it about control? Losing your voice? Or something else entirely?

In this message, we talk honestly about what submission in a Christ-centered marriage really means and what it doesn’t. You’ll hear how God’s design for marriage is rooted in love, humility, and mutual respect, not power or hierarchy. Whether you’re married, dating, single, or just curious, this conversation is about building healthy, life-giving relationships that reflect God’s heart.

How Does God Rewire Me For Marriage | 12Stone Church

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0500

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

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0500

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.

How Does Prayer Change My Life?

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 17:00:00 -0500

Most of us treat prayer like a quick fix or a spiritual magic wand we wave to change our circumstances. We ask God to fix what is around us, and then get frustrated when the scenery doesn't shift. But real prayer isn't about changing the things around you; it’s about inviting God to change the things within you. It’s a significant renovation that requires a daily reset of prayer to turn off the noise and let God work on your heart.

When you invite Jesus to move into your life, He doesn't just visit for the weekend—He lives there permanently. And through daily prayer, He starts the deep work needed to fix it. This process is usually messier and takes longer than you expect, but that’s because He is most interested in your inner growth. He wants to address the root of your mental health issues and your relationship issues. God goes where He is invited, so invite Him into the parts of your life you’ve kept closed. It’s time to let the renovation begin.

How Do I Stop Living in the Dark? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 14:06:43 -0500

Trying to fix your life by flipping "small switches" is exhausting when the main power is still off. We often spend our energy on Religion—trying to earn God’s approval through better behavior—while we are still spiritually disconnected. Real change isn't about being "good"; it’s about being made alive through Jesus.

The Gospel is the "Reset Flip" that turns the main breaker on, bringing you from death to life by grace alone. Once the power is connected, the Holy Spirit begins moving room-by-room, turning the lights on in the places you’ve kept hidden.

Stop settling for the emptiness of Rebellion by keeping the doors locked to your private struggles. Choose Repentance today—a life fully surrendered to Jesus where He has access to every area of your house. It’s time to stop playing church and start living in the light.

Ho Do I Reset My Identity? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 13:25:36 -0500

It’s exhausting trying to keep up with a "cultural algorithm" that tells us we have to constantly earn our significance and prove our worth to other people. We often feel the pressure to work for our identity, chasing status or approval just to feel valuable. This week, we looked at how God calls us to reset our identity. Instead of striving to earn love, we are invited to live from a place of being already chosen, redeemed, and fully accepted because of Jesus. You don't need to listen to a world that changes its standards every day; you just need to remind yourself that you are already sealed and secure in Christ. As you step into this week, try "turning down" the algorithm—maybe by ignoring the pressure to impress strangers online or just putting the phone down—and “turn up” God’s Word in your life. It’s the best way to start 2026 with confidence and peace.

How Does Remembering Help Me? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 12:00:00 -0500

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.

How Do I Handle Bad News? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 13:31:56 -0500

We often assume that if the news is bad, then God must be bad too. It’s easy to let a difficult season or a sudden setback poison your view of God’s character. We focus so much on the pain that we lose sight of the truth: your circumstances are not the evidence of God’s love for you—the cross is!

God proved His character once and for all through Jesus. He is undeniably good even when life feels undeniably dark. Bad news doesn't mean God has left; He is actually near to the brokenhearted—He hasn’t left you. You don't have to hide your sadness or your messiest questions. God is a good Father who wants your honesty. But don’t stay stuck in the "why"—today, you can move from focusing on your circumstances to trusting in His character. He is good, even when the news isn't.

What Happens When I Cut Corners? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 14:47:41 -0500

We often trick ourselves into thinking that compromising on God’s Word and His way is just a shortcut to getting what we want faster. It feels harmless to cut a corner here or there to get ahead. But here’s the truth: compromise isn’t a shortcut; it’s like taking a chainsaw to the tree of your life. Compromise doesn’t help you grow; it cuts down the very life you want. Every time you choose the easy way over the right way, you aren't speeding things up—you’re doing damage to the things you love. The good news is God can heal broken things. When you stop cutting corners and depend on God, you can actually grow strong again. 🌳 At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

What Does Passover Have To Do With Christmas? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 15:54:19 -0500

It is easy to feel like faith is just a list of restrictions designed to keep us from having fun, but what if those instructions are actually a map to get us out of prison? In this message, we explore the surprising connection between the ancient story of Passover and the true meaning of Christmas. We often find ourselves stuck in habits, addictions, or toxic patterns that we hate, yet we keep going back to them. We want to be free, but we don't always like the process required to get there. By looking at the story of the Exodus, we see that captivity isn't just about a physical place; it represents the things that trap us today. We discover that God gives us direction not because He is trying to control us, but because obedience leads to freedom.

How Do I Find Courage? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 12:46:49 -0500

"Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it." Many of us struggle with sharing our faith, not because we don't know what to do, but because we simply lack the courage to do it. We often feel like cowards because we can look back on moments where we knew we should have spoken up, but we stayed silent. But transformation is possible. We don't have to be defined by the opportunities we missed last time. In this message, we look at the story of Peter—who went from denying Jesus in fear to speaking with incredible boldness in Acts—to see how the Holy Spirit can change us.

How Do I Share My Faith? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 13:56:46 -0500

Why is it that we can convince people to try a new spot without knowing the address or the menu, yet we feel unqualified to share our faith because we don't have all the answers? We often overcomplicate evangelism by thinking we need to be experts. But sharing Jesus isn't about having answers to all the complicated theological questions; it’s about genuinely sharing your story of Jesus rescuing you. When something has transformed you, you naturally talk about it, and that enthusiasm is what makes people go looking for it. You don’t need to know everything. You just need to be able to talk about how Jesus has transformed your life. At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

How Do I Actually Serve? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 14:49:25 -0500

Are you living with a napkin on your lap or a towel over your arm? It’s time to stop sitting in the booth demanding to be served. True hospitality means trading the mindset of a customer, who is preoccupied with their own life, for the mindset of a servant. Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. The real challenge is to make the change from the napkin, which we use to be served, to the towel, which we use to serve others. This means we stop acting like customers and start asking one simple question in every situation: "What would a servant do?" Hospitality isn't something to discuss; it's something to do.

Who Am I Supposed to Serve? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 17:00:00 -0500

It's easy to be kind to our friends. But what about strangers? What about the people who have hurt us? In this sermon, "Who Am I Supposed To Serve?", we're digging into the idea of true hospitality. Using the story of the Good Samaritan, we explore what it looks like to "cross the road" for people who are broken—even when it's inconvenient, costly, or for someone we'd call an enemy. We all have a "20-foot circle" of influence, and this message is a challenge to use it. After all, people often won't care what we believe until they see how we serve.

What Does Hospitality Look Like? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 14:24:36 -0500

It's easy to feel like you don't have enough to make a real difference. We see a big need, look at our own hands, and think, "I can't help." But what if the problem isn't what we have, but our willingness to use it? In this message, we're diving into the excuses that stop us from practicing hospitality. Using the story of the feeding of the 5,000, we're learning that God isn't looking for our extravagance—He's looking for our willingness. What's in your hands? A little bit of time? A specific skill? A resource? It might be the exact thing God wants to use to change someone's world. At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

What Is Hospitality? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 17:03:48 -0400

In a world that is often hostile, hospitality is a superpower. Are we just practicing fellowship with people we already like, or are we practicing true hospitality by "loving the outsider"?
Choosing hospitality means being intentional. It’s seeing compassion towards all people not as a suggestion, but as a "divine expectation". It’s moving beyond our comfort zones to "pursue" and be "inventive" in how we care for the "unlikely" people around us.

How Do I Raise My Kids? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 14:13:00 -0400

Does your home ever feel more chaotic than peaceful? In a world where everything can feel uncertain, it's easy for that same confusion to take over our families, leaving everyone feeling unsteady. What if your most important role as a parent wasn't just to manage the chaos, but to intentionally create order?

In this message, we discover that the calling of a parent is to bring order out of a chaotic world. While kids might say they enjoy chaos, we learn they are actually designed to thrive in the security and safety that comes from an ordered environment.

You'll learn why establishing clear boundaries and standards is the key to helping your family move from devolving into chaos to thriving in peace , and how to restore order when the world around you feels out of control.

How Do I Build a Healthy Family? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 15:04:42 -0400

Does life feel too busy and chaotic to build a strong, healthy family? It’s easy to feel like you're just two ships passing in the night—more like roommates than soulmates, or more like chauffeurs than parents. What if the solution isn't about adding more to your already packed schedule?

In this message, we discover that a healthy family isn’t built in big, grand gestures, but "on the go" in the small, everyday moments that we all have. We explore the powerful idea of choosing to build your family with "stones"—the intentional, lasting habits—instead of "straw," the easy, convenient choices that don't hold up when life gets hard.

You'll learn how to replace what you're already doing with better, more connecting habits and how to prepare your family to be unshakeable when the storms of life come.

How Do I Honor God With My Body? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 14:20:20 -0400

This message unpacks how God designed your body, soul, and choices to work together for His glory.

Because when you try to live with “square wheels,” life breaks down—but when you live by His design, it starts to roll the way it was meant to.

Why Is My Family Broken? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 16:29:24 -0400

Have you ever wondered why your family feels so dysfunctional, like a bumpy, jarring ride? The truth is, God created family to be a smooth and effective "round wheel". But the world—and the influence of sin—comes along to shave down and redefine key relationships, turning God's perfect design into a broken "square wheel". In this message, we dive into God's divine design for family, revealing the simple, non-obvious reason your home life or marriage may be struggling. You love God first, your spouse second, and yourself third. When we get this order wrong, we bring our own baggage, wounding, and narcissistic tendencies into our most sacred bonds. Stop the destructive "tug of war" in your home, reject the square wheel, and learn how to get on the same side to build a transformed, unshakable life.

At The Movies: Spider-Man | 12Stone Church

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 16:19:38 -0400

Everyone has problems they are trying to fix, from daily struggles to deeper issues like anxiety or a broken marriage. In this message, Pastor Jason takes a look at the movie

Spider-Man: No Way Home to explore how our problems, much like Peter Parker's, don't exist in a vacuum and often become someone else's pain.

Just like Peter tried to ignore, hide, and fix his problems on his own, we often do the same. However, ignoring our problems won't make them go away, and hiding them only makes them grow more dangerous. The Bible says that our sin will track us down and that the consequence of sin is always "later and greater". It always leads to a harvest of decay and death.

Ultimately, Spider-Man realizes that to fix everything, a great sacrifice must be made. Similarly, the Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death, which means a sacrifice must be made to fix our problems. The good news is that we don't have to be the ones to make that sacrifice. While we were still powerless and caught in our sin, Christ died for us. God loves and values us so much that Jesus was glad to die in our place, giving us the opportunity for a new life.

If you're tired of running, hiding, or trying to fix your problems on your own, it's time to stop and trust in the free gift of forgiveness and salvation that Jesus offers. He is the only way to have a true fresh start.

At The Movies: Hook | 12Stone Church

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 14:22:36 -0400

In this teaching, we explore the core message of the movie Hook: a man who misplaced his identity and lost his purpose, leaving him hollow, empty, and powerless. Pastor JB argues that this is a timely word for us today, as much of the suffering we experience is the result of misplaced identity in things like career, relationships, and politics. Biblically, this misplaced identity is a form of idolatry that leads to anger, apathy, or aimlessness.

The good news is that salvation isn't just forgiveness—it's an identity transformation. When you surrender to Jesus, he redefines you as a new creation and an ambassador for Christ, breaking the cycle of brokenness.

This sermon speaks to two groups: those who need boldness in their identity as a Christ-follower and those who need to bow to Jesus for the first time to find their true identity and purpose.

At The Movies: Inside Out 2 | 12Stone Church

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 16:49:37 -0400

In this message, we explore the universal struggle with emotions like anger, fear, and anxiety through the lens of the movie

Inside Out 2. While the movie is great at showing what's broken, it offers a poor guide for our lives, suggesting we can fix ourselves by trying to be a "good person".

The truth is, we are incapable of solving what is truly broken inside of us. Jesus did not come to make bad people good; He came to bring dead people to life. The good news of the gospel is that salvation is not by our works, but is a gift from God, by grace through faith in Jesus.

If you're tired of trying to fix yourself and are ready to admit you need a Savior, this message is for you.

How Do I Get Unstuck? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 17:03:28 -0400

Do you ever feel stuck, like you're going through the motions alone? In this sermon, Pastor Steve shares a powerful truth: "Without authentic community, we're just in crowded isolation, because getting unstuck is not about what you know, it's about who you're with."

This message challenges the lie of a "Me and Jesus" faith, revealing how the enemy uses isolation to keep us stuck and defeated. Drawing on the Book of Acts, Steve shows that the Christian faith is, and always has been, a community faith. When we connect with Jesus and His people, we find the freedom and healing we've been looking for.

If you're ready to break free from crowded isolation and experience the power of authentic community, this message is for you.

What Happens When The Holy Spirit Shows Up? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 16:33:31 -0400

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions? You know the basics, but you're missing the power that makes life truly work.

In this message from our ACTS series, Pastor Jason uses the real-world events of Acts 19 to explain what happens when you decide to fully commit to your faith. He’ll show you three practical results: People who are searching get what they need; those who are faking it get exposed; and when enough people change, it transforms the entire community. Stop settling for the minimum and start seeking something real—your change is waiting.

Can People Really Change? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 15:40:37 -0400

Do you ever wonder, "Can people really change?" Can a liar become a truth-teller? Can the addicted find freedom? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Trey confronts this universal question with a resounding YES, revealing how the Holy Spirit holds the incredible power to transform anyone into a new person.

Drawing from the radical transformation of Saul into Paul in the Book of Acts, Trey demonstrates that "there is no past too bad to keep us from a new life". You'll discover that being "filled with the Holy Spirit" means actively inviting Him to control your life, leading to a profound newness.

If you're tired of feeling spiritually cold, stuck in old patterns, or simply know God has more for you, this sermon invites you to say "yes" to the Holy Spirit's transforming power today.

Why Am I Never Satisfied? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 18:00:00 -0400

Do you ever feel a constant longing, like nothing in life truly satisfies? You're not alone. In this sermon, Pastor Jason dives into the "spiritual hunger" we all experience, explaining why we often find ourselves "too easily satisfied" and "too quickly distracted" by lesser things. Using a vivid buffet metaphor, you'll discover how we fill our lives with "spiritual junk food," leaving no room for the deeper, truly satisfying "more" that God offers. Drawing from the Book of Acts, Jason reminds us that Jesus promised an "Advocate," the Holy Spirit, as "THE MORE" that can fill that void and provide true peace and presence.

How Do I Make A Difference? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 18:00:00 -0400

Do you ever feel like you're missing out on the greatest joy and fulfillment life has to offer? We believe God created you on purpose and for a purpose that is bigger than yourself. But discovering that purpose is only the beginning; the culmination is using what He’s given you to make a lasting difference.

In the conclusion of our series, "Hymns," Pastor Jason Berry unpacks the Parable of the Talents, revealing that we are accountable for the time, talents, and treasure God has entrusted to us. It’s not about how much we are given, but what we do with it. Are you burying your gifts, or are you investing them in what matters for eternity?

Pastor Steve unpacks God's vision for living out a greater purpose than you might imagine. Discover how your unique purpose is found on the other side of surrender, as God, like a skilled potter, reshapes your life (Jeremiah 18). You'll learn:

• The Power of Surrender: Why surrendering your plans to God is the first step to unlocking His purpose for you, echoing the profound truth in the hymn "I Surrender All."

• Purpose in Your Everyday Life: How God's purpose isn't just for a select few, but transforms your role as a teacher, parent, student, or in any job, turning "mundane moments" into Kingdom opportunities.

• The Benefits of a God-Sized Purpose: How a bigger purpose defines your identity, protects you from temptation, guides your decisions, and brings true joy and fulfillment, even amidst problems.

If you're ready to stop feeling lazy, passive, or simply living for a lesser purpose, join us to discover the incredible "why" behind your existence and embrace the meaningful life God created you for.

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 18:00:00 -0400

You'll hear inspiring stories of students finding breakthrough and discover practical steps to confess and let go of what's holding you captive.

This message is for anyone who longs to:

• Break free from patterns that keep you stuck.

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 18:00:00 -0400

Have you ever wondered if Jesus could truly be your friend? In a world that often feels rushed and superficial, Pastor JB kicks off our "Hymns" series by diving into the profound truth of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."

This message will invite you into an intimate, personal relationship with God that goes far beyond just intellectual understanding. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, JB unpacks how to cultivate this friendship through three key elements:

• Pace: Discover the importance of unhurried, consistent time with God, learning to "abide" in His presence.

• Price: Understand that true friendship with Jesus involves loyalty and obedience, a willingness to align your life with His commands out of love.

• Payoff: Experience the incredible joy, peace, wisdom, and direction that comes from walking in deep intimacy with your Savior.

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 18:00:00 -0400

You'll discover that the Church is at its best when every generation works together—sharing wisdom, speaking life, and leading with love.

This message will challenge you to move beyond the sidelines and use your voice to impact the people around you, no matter your age or where you are in your journey.

Can Faith Actually Change My Life? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 11:21:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like your faith was flat, boring, or just not working? Maybe you've heard other people share their incredible stories about Jesus and wondered, "When do I get my own story?" This Sunday, Pastor Steve dives into a personal moment with one of Jesus's disciples to answer the question: What happens when you move from a story about the kingdom to your story in the kingdom?

In this message, you’ll discover that when you move from a parable to something personal, it's scary, unexpected, and unbelievably rewarding. Steve also shares a powerful truth: following Jesus doesn't protect you from storms; it might even get you in a storm. But the storm is not evidence that God has left you; it can actually be the very thing that leads you into the presence of God Himself.

If you're ready to step out of the boat and experience the full, thrilling life of following Jesus, this message is for you.

How Do I lead When I Feel Weak? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 18:00:00 -0400

This Father’s Day, we explored what it really means to be a man of God — not perfect, but present. Every man is like Superman: carrying a cape to serve others, living like Clark Kent in the daily grind, and battling his own kryptonite. In this message, we’re reminded that we live in a spiritual world with a spiritual battle — and God has already given us the strength we need through His Spirit.

Whether you’re a dad, mentor, or leader, this message will challenge and encourage you to lead with humility, fight for what matters, and keep showing up — even when it’s hard.

Because God doesn’t just use perfect people.

He uses surrendered ones.

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 13:15:48 -0400

What if the reason you’re stuck isn’t your situation… but your pride?

In this message, we kick off our Life-Changing Pictures & Parables series by unpacking one of the biggest barriers to God’s blessing: selfish pride.

Where Do I Find Wisdom When Life Changes? | 12Stone Church

Sun, 18 May 2025 17:40:54 -0400

Graduation is not the finish line — it’s the starting line.

In this powerful message for Graduation Sunday, Pastor Jason and four graduating seniors reflect on what it means to follow Jesus into the next chapter of life. From high school to college, from student to servant leader, the journey ahead is filled with change — and one thing we all need is wisdom.

Rooted in the book of Proverbs and the story of Solomon passing wisdom to his son, this message unpacks how to navigate transitions with God’s truth, not just good advice.

Through biblical encouragement, shared stories, and a powerful reminder from Galatians 6, we’re reminded: God sees every seed you plant — even when all you see is dirt.

UNSHAKEABLE: Celebration Sunday

Sun, 04 May 2025 15:25:04 -0400

This was no ordinary Sunday. It was a full-out celebration of all that God is doing through Unshakeable, the Gospel, and the power of changed lives. From our First Give offering to stories of radical generosity, from hundreds of baptisms to moments of spontaneous life change — we witnessed God’s kindness on full display.

🙌 We celebrated commitments.

💧 We witnessed baptisms.

🌍 We launched a two-year vision to build unshakable lives, communities, and impact around the world.

This message is a reminder that God still sees the ONE, and He’s still writing stories of transformation. Just like the Ethiopian official in Acts 8, maybe you didn’t just show up to church — maybe God brought you here for this exact moment.

Am I too far Gone?

Sun, 27 Apr 2025 14:15:32 -0400

When Jesus called us to follow Him, He didn’t mean it was a perfect performance. He meant it was a relationship. 🕊️

The message of the cross isn’t “clean up your act”—it’s “come back to Me.” No matter how far you’ve wandered, no matter how many mistakes you’ve made, Jesus is ready to forgive, ready to restore, and ready to call you back into a life with Him.

In today’s message, we explore the story of Peter—the disciple who messed up big time, ran away in shame, and still found that Jesus’ love was greater than his failures. If you’ve ever felt too far gone, this message is for you. It’s not too late. You can follow Him again.

Easter At 12Stone Church

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 15:20:00 -0400

Easter isn’t just a celebration of a moment in history—it’s an invitation to life change. This Easter message at 12Stone walks through the powerful truth that no matter how lost, broken, or stuck we feel, we are not a lost cause.

Through the story of Jesus on the cross—flanked by two criminals—we’re reminded that grace is never out of reach. One rejected Jesus, the other surrendered. Which one are you?

You’ll also hear a moving real-life story of Michael, whose journey through addiction and prison felt hopeless… until Jesus. Now, he knows the truth: he has a seat at God’s table—and so do you.

🪑 If the tomb is empty, you are not a lost cause.

Is My Mess a Lost Cause?

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 13:39:47 -0400

Is there still hope when you’ve messed up? This week at 12Stone Church, we looked at one of the most infamous characters in the Easter story—Judas. His failure was devastating, but his story reminds us of a powerful truth: you can be near Jesus and still miss the life He offers. Through this teaching, we explore how our own mistakes, regrets, and shame can make us feel stuck or too far gone—but Jesus says otherwise. The same grace that was available then is still available now. Whether you’re carrying guilt, wondering if you’ve gone too far, or just need a fresh start—this message is for you. You are not beyond God’s love. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong in church or that your past disqualifies you, let this be the week you hear the truth: Jesus came for you.

Is There Hope for a Lost Cause?

Sun, 06 Apr 2025 12:59:58 -0400

What do you do when someone you care about feels like a lost cause? In this message, we walk through the powerful moment in Mark 2 where four friends bring their paralyzed friend to Jesus—despite the crowds, despite the obstacles, despite the risk. They literally unroof the roof to get to Jesus, believing that healing and hope were just on the other side. Their story reminds us that bringing someone to Jesus isn’t always neat, clean, or convenient. It’s personal. It’s bold. And it often means making a scene.This week we’re asking: Who’s your ONE? Who is near to you but far from God—and are you willing to step out of your comfort zone, risk your reputation, and bring them to Jesus? Because when Jesus is in the room, it’s never a lost cause.

UNSHAKEABLE FUTURE

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 08:17:42 -0400

Over the past five weeks, we’ve followed the story of Joshua, a leader who trusted God fully and lived with “No Retreat, No Regrets, No Return.” Now, just like the people of Israel in Joshua 24, we’re invited to look back at God’s faithfulness—and choose again who we will serve.

This message isn’t just about generosity—it’s about building an Unshakeable life on the rock-solid foundation of Jesus. Whether this is your first step of faith or a fresh surrender to what God’s been whispering to you, today is a call to choose faith over fear, and legacy over comfort.

UNSHAKEABLE POWER: Week 4

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 15:03:43 -0400

What does it really mean to live an Unshakable life? In this powerful message, Pastor Kevin walks us through the story of Joshua 10, where God’s people learned one of the most practical and personal principles of faith: PRAY ~ FIGHT ~ WIN.

Joshua didn’t always get it right. In fact, he made a major decision without prayer—and it came at a cost. But God’s grace met him in that failure and invited him back into covenant. When Joshua prayed, fought with courage, and trusted God, the impossible happened—hail fell from the sky, the sun stood still, and victory was won.

Through personal stories, honest moments, and biblical truth, Pastor Kevin reminds us that fighting for the things that matter most—our faith, family, marriages, calling, and vision—won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. When we pray and fight, God fights for us.

UNSHAKEABLE VICTORY: Week 3

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 14:52:31 -0400

In our third week of the Unshakeable series, we dive into the story of Jericho—one of the most well-defended cities in the Promised Land. On the surface, Jericho seemed unshakable, while the Israelites appeared shaky at best. But God had a plan that defied human logic, proving that true strength doesn’t come from walls, wealth, or worldly security, but from faith in Him. This message explores how the first battle is always for our worship—what we give our first and best to reveals what we truly trust in. Through obedience and faith, the Israelites watched God bring down Jericho’s walls, showing us that when we trust in Him, He provides the victory. Join us as we unpack what this means for our lives today. Are we building on temporary security, or are we trusting in the unshakable foundation of God? 🔗 Follow along in the Unshakeable Guide: https://unshakeable.12stone.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/UnshakeableGuide_Web.pdf 🔗 Learn more about the Unshakeable journey: https://unshakeable.12stone.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/UnshakeableGuide_Web.pdf At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

UNSHAKEABLE GOD: Week 2

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 17:00:00 -0400

In our second week of the Unshakeable series, we’re stepping into the story of Joshua and the Israelites as they faced a defining moment—crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Just like them, we all have “Jordan River moments” in life where we must choose between fear and faith, comfort and calling, security and surrender. God invites us to trust Him deeply, step out boldly, and sacrifice what is temporary to take hold of what is eternal. An Unshakeable life isn’t built on what’s easy—it’s built on faith, obedience, and a willingness to follow where God leads, even when it feels risky. So what is God asking you to step into? What is He calling you to sacrifice?

Follow along with the Unshakeable Guide and take this journey with us: Unshakeable.12stone.com

UNSHAKEABLE VISION: Week 1

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 15:04:33 -0500

We all face moments of uncertainty, where fear tries to hold us back from stepping into what God has prepared for us. In Joshua 1, God calls Joshua to lead His people into the Promised Land, reminding him to be strong and courageous—not because of his own strength, but because of God’s unchanging faithfulness. The same is true for us today. When we trust in God’s vision and move forward in faith, we can overcome fear and walk confidently into His purpose for our lives.

At 12Stone, we’re here to help you grow in faith and take your next step. Visit our website at 12Stone.com to learn more or connect with us https://12stone.com/connect/

How Can I Have Healthy Relationships?

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 15:19:10 -0500

We all want healthy relationships, but what if the biggest obstacles aren’t the people around us—but the lies we believe? In this message, we unpack how common relationship lies can quietly destroy marriages, friendships, and families.

Does love really mean “I must be heard”? Is acceptance the same as never having to change? And how can we learn to listen better and love better? By uncovering these false beliefs and leaning into God’s truth, we can transform our relationships and experience love the way He designed it.

Does God Accept Me?

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 16:46:04 -0500

These false beliefs distort our understanding of God, ourselves, and the church—leading to burdensome religion, fear-based faith, and an incomplete experience of God’s love. In this video, we’ll confront these harmful lies and replace them with the truth of God’s Word. Because when we hold onto deception, we miss out on the fullness of life with God.

How Can I Find Happiness?

Sun, 09 Feb 2025 17:00:00 -0500

What if everything you’ve been chasing for happiness is actually leaving you empty? Our world tells us that happiness comes from success, relationships, money, or instant gratification. But no matter how much we achieve, buy, or experience, it never seems to be enough.

In this message, we unpack the Lies We Believe about what makes us happy and the truth that actually leads to fulfillment. The Bible warns us about three major lies—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—all of which convince us that happiness is found in temporary things. But Jesus offers something greater. In John 6:35, He says, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” True happiness isn’t found in stuff, status, or shortcuts—it’s found in surrendering to the only One who can truly satisfy.

Have you been chasing temporary happiness instead of lasting joy? Where are you believing the world’s lies instead of trusting God’s truth? This week, read Psalm 73 every day and ask God to reveal where you’ve been settling for less than His best. Let’s stop searching for happiness in the wrong places and start finding fulfillment in Him.

How Do I Stop Believing Lies?

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 17:00:00 -0500

Are the lies you believe shaping your life more than you realize?

What you believe is the first domino in your life—it sets everything else in motion. If your beliefs are based on lies, they lead to breakdowns in relationships, mental health, faith, and purpose. But when your beliefs are rooted in God’s truth, they create breakthroughs.

In this message, we explore the common lies we believe about ourselves and how they impact our decisions. More importantly, we discover how Jesus offers freedom and transformation through truth.

How Do I Find My People?

Sun, 26 Jan 2025 17:00:00 -0500

“What is God’s design for community?”

In this message, we explore why relationships are vital for spiritual growth and thriving in life. The Bible shows us that we were never meant to do life alone. From the early church in Acts to the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, God’s design is clear—community is essential.

Key Takeaways:

• You were designed for community. Following Jesus isn’t an individual sport; it’s a team effort.
• Isolation leads to emptiness. Loneliness is a growing crisis, but God’s design for relationships brings healing and purpose.
• Healing happens in relationships. Confess your struggles, find accountability, and grow with others.Whether you’re looking to join a small group or serve on a team, today’s message will encourage you to take a step into deeper community. Life change doesn’t happen in rows—it happens in relationships.

Why Should I Pray?

Sun, 19 Jan 2025 17:00:00 -0500

What is God’s design for prayer? Prayer is one of the most recognized expressions of faith, yet it can feel elusive and challenging. Have you ever felt like you’re just talking to yourself, wondering if you’re praying the “right” way, or questioning if prayer even matters? You’re not alone.In this message, we explore the truth that prayer is God’s idea, not ours—it’s His invitation, not our intrusion. From Abraham to Jesus to the early church, prayer has always been at the core of a relationship with God. Through this teaching, you’ll discover how prayer moves beyond just asking for favors and becomes a lifestyle of deep connection with God.Key takeaways from today’s message:
1. Prayer is PARTICIPANT, not spectator. Taste and see that the Lord is good—experience God for yourself, not just watch from the sidelines.
2. Prayer is DESPERATE, not duty. We pray not just when we need a rescue but for wisdom, favor, and a deeper relationship with God.
3. Prayer is RELATIONSHIP, not religion. God invites us to know Him as our loving Father who provides, protects, and guides us. No matter where you are in your faith journey, prayer is an invitation to draw closer to God and experience His power in your life.

How Do I Worship?

Sun, 12 Jan 2025 15:56:14 -0500

Worship isn’t just about singing songs—it’s a way of life! In this message, we unpack God’s design for worship and how it extends far beyond Sunday mornings. Worship is about recognizing who God is, letting that stir your love for Him, and living in a way that pleases Him.

Discover how worship can transform your everyday life—from classrooms to boardrooms to family dinners—and how a heart surrendered to God changes everything.

📖 Romans 12:1-2 reminds us that worship is offering ourselves as a ‘living sacrifice,’ holy and pleasing to God. Let’s live out worship every day, in every moment.

How Do I Read The Bible?

Sun, 05 Jan 2025 15:06:15 -0500

This week, we kicked off 2025 by exploring God’s design for truth and how it shapes a full, meaningful life. We learned that the Bible isn’t just a book—it’s the foundation for how we make decisions, set priorities, and align our lives with God’s best.

Through practical examples, we saw how God’s Word is like a recipe: when followed, it delivers the life we long for. But ignoring it can lead to regret, emptiness, and brokenness.

As we head into this new year, let’s commit to building our lives on God’s truth. Whether through the S.O.A.P. method or diving into a weekly devotional, the rhythms we set now will shape the rest of 2025. Let’s start strong by letting God’s Word light our path!

A Candlelight Christmas Eve

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 17:14:01 -0500

Merry Christmas! 🎄 This Christmas Eve, we’re reminded of the incredible truth: Jesus is real, Jesus is good, and Jesus is King. But here’s the question—what does that mean for you?

Join us as we explore the good news of Christmas, the joy it brings, and the life-changing impact of bowing our lives to Jesus. Whether you’ve been walking with Him for years or are just beginning to ask questions about faith, this message will encourage you to respond to the greatest gift ever given.

Is It Okay to Doubt?

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 15:00:00 -0500

The Christmas season often stirs a desire to find satisfaction and joy for ourselves and our loved ones, leading us to seek fulfillment in temporary, worldly things. As Christians, we may still face moments of doubt and lose sight of where true joy is found—only in the hope and confidence of Christ. Every decision we make is like placing a “bet,” and to place our bets wisely, we must examine our daily choices to see if they draw us closer to God or deeper into materialism. When we feel the urge to fill a void with quick fixes, we should pause, bring our desires and doubts to the Lord, and trust in His goodness to guide us toward lasting joy.

How Do I Find Peace in Uncertainty?

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 16:25:07 -0500

The Christmas season is meant to be filled with peace, joy, and hope—the good news of Jesus! Yet, in life’s unexpected moments, we often find ourselves overwhelmed by fear, worry, and anxiety. Without realizing it, we may start placing control above trusting in the King of Kings. But how we respond to the unexpected reveals who truly reigns in our hearts. Join us as we explore the stories of King Herod and Joseph in Scripture. While Herod clung to the illusion of control, Joseph faced his fears and chose to trust God’s plan. His response shows us that even in the midst of fear, we can embrace trust over control.

What is Hope?

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 17:17:48 -0500

The Kingdom of God is filled with unwavering hope—a belief that no matter our past, Jesus offers redemption and a secure future. Hope is woven throughout the Bible and is central to the Gospel, nourishing our souls and strengthening us to face life’s challenges. When we anchor our hope in Christ, it influences every area of our lives: our relationships, careers, and dreams. But hope is a choice. It calls us to look beyond worldly distractions to find true strength in the living water Jesus provides, just as He offered to the woman at the well, meeting her without judgment. This hope isn’t private; it’s meant to be shared. Whether you're exploring faith or are ready to take a public step, remember, hope is life-changing and brings peace that flows into every part of our journey.
