E50 Hope in God's Presence

Undefeated - Week 7

Last week we highlighted the truth that since the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2), we have been given great hope that God will continue to pour out the Holy Spirit upon His Church to empower her to fulfill the mission she has been given. But Pentecost was not a one-time, isolated event. We should pray for and expect great outpourings of the Holy Spirit until Christ returns! Today we will talk about the manifestation of God's presence - and that the Kingdom of God advances through revival!

E49 Hope in God's Power

Undefeated - Week 6

Our God is a God of power through His Holy Spirit. He has poured out His spirit in amazing measures in the past, so why wouldn't He move again?

“Our view of revival shapes how we live. If revival is a pointless demonstration of religious fervor, we live to avoid it. If it is an emergency fix for the church, we sometimes seek it only when things get bad. But if revival moves history toward Jesus’ return, we do everything we can to live for the next wave.” - Mark Nysewander

E48 Hope in the Promises of God

Undefeated - Week 5

Our God is a God who keeps His promises. As we look over the scriptures, we can see an abundance of great promises that have been kept, and will be kept by God. Today, in the midst of a tumultuous culture in America, we must know that it is not the newspaper headlines nor the billionaires who set the agenda for planet Earth. Instead, we must fix our eyes on the incredible promises of God and the global triumph of the Gospel in all human history!

E47 Laborers in the Vineyard

Special Guest - Mike Frie

We are blessed to have Pastor Mike Frie join us this Sunday to share a message about partnering with God in the harvest! What does it mean to work alongside our Lord to love and serve others? Find out in today's message!

“He answered one of them, ‘Friend, I haven’t been unfair! Didn’t you agree to work all day for the usual wage? Take your money and go. I wanted to pay this last worker the same as you. Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my money? Should you be jealous because I am kind to others?’ Matthew 20:13-15

E46 Hope in His Providence

Undefeated - Week 4

Hope is built on Truth, and the great Truth of God brings us stability and strength! The great truth is this: God is large and in charge. In today's message we talk about the theology of hope that is found in the providence of God, both over the world and over our personal lives!

"You alone are the Lord. You made the skies and the heavens and all the stars. You made the earth and the seas and everything in them. You preserve them all, and the angels of heaven worship you." Nehemiah 9:6 NLT

E45 The King's Mission

Undefeated - Week 3

When God made the world, He gave man a powerful commission: to take over for God's glory. Through the death and resurrection of Christ, we are RE-Commissioned to the same mission! Today's message clarifies what it means for true reformation of our world through the saving gospel of Jesus Christ and that we are to proclaim His Lordship in every area of life.

E44 Jesus Our Champion

Undefeated - Week 2

What is the mission and calling of God’s covenant people in history? Does the Church have a bright future in history? Are Christians really called to transform culture? The answer is a resounding yes! Our creator and Lord Jesus does not inhabit our world, but rather we inhabit His world! And this is our response: joyful submission to His leadership.

"Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things." - I Chronicles 29:11 NLT

E43 Our King & His Kingdom

Undefeated - Week 1

How should we, as believers, live our lives in what is becoming an increasingly godless public square, where people are becoming hostile toward the worldview of the Bible? What is the mission and calling of God’s covenant people in history? Does the Church have a bright future in history? Are Christians really called to transform culture? In short, what is the mission of God and what part do we have to play? Join us for our next series: Undefeated, as we discuss the proper role of God's people in our world today, and why more than ever, we need to make sure we are living in His Kingdom.

E42 Psalm 103 - Bless the Lord for His Goodness

The Psalms - Week 7

This week we will focus on honoring and blessing God for His covenantal faithfulness followed by communion at the end of the message.

E41 Psalm 127 - The Lord Builds Our House

The Psalms - Week 6

How do we build and protect in a way that glorifies God and leaves the kind of lasting legacy God desires? We often err from 2 perspectives - we either do it all or we do nothing. But how do we allow God to truly build our homes? Find out in today's message!

Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family. Stones are a product of God the Creator — formed in nature and no two are alike. As we come to faith in Jesus Christ, scripture tells us that we are like living stones in the hand of God and He is using us to build up a spiritual house. Our foundation was built on the work of nurturing and restoring healthy, biblical marriages. In continuing that mission, everything we do here at Living Stones is centered around loving, healing, and equipping individuals and families to grow into a greater likeness of Christ Jesus! By the Holy Spirit, we exist today to Renew Hearts, Restore Homes, Reform Culture and Reach the Nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:4-5 ”As you come to him who is the Living Stone — he was rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious — you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house.” We are a family — misfits, hypocrites, creatives, addicts, reformers, over-churched, unchurched, wanderers — each of us a stone, uniquely crafted by the hand of God, made alive through Jesus, and now living by the power of the Holy Spirit. Together, we are Living Stones.
