"Living Stones: Jesus-Shaped Church" [May 3, 2026]
The Church is not God’s mission- God’s mission has a church. As followers of Jesus, we begin by dwelling with Him so He can fill us. In receiving His presence, we are like living stones, holy and unified, being built up into a spiritual house. Together, we are to be saturated with God’s Spirit, bringing His presence and love into the places we go, filling the world with His glory. As God reconciles the world He has called His church to be a small working model of this new creation- a Jesus-shaped church.

Through the redemptive work of Jesus on the cross, we are saved from empty religion into a new life that lasts forever. As we dwell with Him and receive His presence, we become living stones; holy and unified, built together into a spiritual house and empowered to carry His presence and power into the world. In a world full of questions and suffering, we stand as people of living hope, bringing the peace of God wherever we go.
