E33 The Gift of Being Known

The Psalms - Week 2

4 years ago

This week we dive into David's insight into a God who knows us deeply. We will talk about our desire to be known. Why did God place this desire in us? What does our desire to be known have to do with our desire for intimacy?

Finally, what does disobedience have to do with a heart that doesn't believe that God knows him or her deeply? Through Christ, God has given us the gift of being known, and we need to steward it correctly. How can we give the gift of being known to our wives, husbands, and kids and not lose their hearts? Find out in today's message.

Text: Psalm 139

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.
