How Do I Have Peace?

12Stone Church ·

2026/04/12

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

Who Is Jesus, Really?

12Stone Church ·

2026/03/29

"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?

How To Stand Against Darkness

12Stone Church ·

2026/03/22

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

What Is the Armor Of God?

2026/03/15

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

How Do We Pray Under Pressure?

12Stone Church ·

2026/03/08

"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. +1 The Five Foundations: Remembering that Jesus has

Are We Aware of the Real Battle?

2026/03/01

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.

What Is Submission in Marriage? | 12Stone Church

2026/02/08

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

How Does God Rewire Me For Marriage | 12Stone Church

12Stone Church ·

2026/02/01

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

How Do I Grow Spiritually | 12Stone Church

12Stone Church ·

2026/01/25

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

How Does Prayer Change My Life?

12Stone Church ·

2026/01/18

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

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

12Stone Church ·

2026/01/11

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,

Ho Do I Reset My Identity? | 12Stone Church

12Stone Church ·

2026/01/04

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

How Does Remembering Help Me? | 12Stone Church

12Stone Church ·

2025/12/28

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

How Do I Handle Bad News? | 12Stone Church

12Stone Church ·

2025/12/21

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

What Happens When I Cut Corners? | 12Stone Church

12Stone Church ·

2025/12/14

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

What Does Passover Have To Do With Christmas? |...

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.

How Do I Find Courage? | 12Stone Church

12Stone Church ·

2025/11/30

"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
