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. At 12Stone Church, we believe you can Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Do you ever feel a nagging sense of emptiness or wonder, "How do I find my purpose?" In a world struggling with a "Pandemic of Purposelessness," this message is designed for anyone feeling aimless, stuck, or simply longing for more meaning in life. 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.

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.

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.

But there’s a way out. Discover how daily surrender can clear the weeds, restore your soul, and lead you into the biblical prosperity God wants for your life, relationships, and purpose. “Get out of the weeds—and prosper.”

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.

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. Through a powerful teaching from Luke 14 and a look at how pride deceives and destroys, we discover the surprising truth — that humility is the way forward.   Whether you’re in a season of success or struggle, this message will help you see how taking a step back and choosing a lesser seat could actually move your life forward.

We live in a world that never stops moving — but what if real strength is found in slowing down? In this message, we explore God’s design for both work and rest. You’ll discover why rest isn’t just a break from life, but a vital part of how we thrive in it. Jesus invites us to sit with Him, not just serve Him — and that changes everything.

Feeling overworked or constantly tired? You’re not alone — and you’re not without help. In this message, we explore what the Bible says about work and rest — and how the rhythm between the two is key to a meaningful, healthy life. Whether you’re burning out in your job, stuck in striving, or just need permission to pause, this teaching offers practical guidance and a spiritual reset. With sponge-in-hand visuals and biblical truth, you’ll learn how to work with purpose and rest with trust.   Your job matters to God. So does your rest. Let’s get back to the design He had in mind.

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.   Featuring real student voices, spiritual takeaways, and a church-wide invitation to invest in the next generation, this is more than a graduation moment — it’s a call to live unshakeable with purpose, legacy, and faith.

On this special Mother’s Day message, we’re taking an honest look at the beauty, exhaustion, purpose, and pressure that come with being a mom. 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. Whether you’re a mom in the trenches, a grandmother with wisdom, or a spiritual mom to others, this message will speak hope, value, and purpose into your season.

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.

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 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.
