How Do I Actually Serve? | 12Stone Church

Are you living with a napkin on your lap or a towel over your arm? It’s time to stop sitting in the booth demanding to be served. True hospitality means trading the mindset of a customer, who is preoccupied with their own life, for the mindset of a servant. Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. The real challenge is to make the change from the napkin, which we use to be served, to the towel, which we use to serve others. This means we stop acting like customers and start asking one simple question in every situation: "What would a servant do?" Hospitality isn't something to discuss; it's something to do. 

Who Am I Supposed to Serve? | 12Stone Church

It's easy to be kind to our friends. But what about strangers? What about the people who have hurt us? In this sermon, "Who Am I Supposed To Serve?", we're digging into the idea of true hospitality. Using the story of the Good Samaritan, we explore what it looks like to "cross the road" for people who are broken—even when it's inconvenient, costly, or for someone we'd call an enemy. We all have a "20-foot circle" of influence, and this message is a challenge to use it. After all, people often won't care what we believe until they see how we serve.

What Does Hospitality Look Like? | 12Stone Church

It's easy to feel like you don't have enough to make a real difference. We see a big need, look at our own hands, and think, "I can't help." But what if the problem isn't what we have, but our willingness to use it? In this message, we're diving into the excuses that stop us from practicing hospitality. Using the story of the feeding of the 5,000, we're learning that God isn't looking for our extravagance—He's looking for our willingness. What's in your hands? A little bit of time? A specific skill? A resource? It might be the exact thing God wants to use to change someone's world. At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

What Is Hospitality? | 12Stone Church

In a world that is often hostile, hospitality is a superpower. Are we just practicing fellowship with people we already like, or are we practicing true hospitality by "loving the outsider"?Choosing hospitality means being intentional. It’s seeing compassion towards all people not as a suggestion, but as a "divine expectation". It’s moving beyond our comfort zones to "pursue" and be "inventive" in how we care for the "unlikely" people around us.

How Do I Build a Healthy Family? | 12Stone Church

Does life feel too busy and chaotic to build a strong, healthy family? It’s easy to feel like you're just two ships passing in the night—more like roommates than soulmates, or more like chauffeurs than parents. What if the solution isn't about adding more to your already packed schedule?
In this message, we discover that a healthy family isn’t built in big, grand gestures, but "on the go" in the small, everyday moments that we all have. We explore the powerful idea of choosing to build your family with "stones"—the intentional, lasting habits—instead of "straw," the easy, convenient choices that don't hold up when life gets hard.
You'll learn how to replace what you're already doing with better, more connecting habits and how to prepare your family to be unshakeable when the storms of life come.

Why Is My Family Broken? | 12Stone Church

Have you ever wondered why your family feels so dysfunctional, like a bumpy, jarring ride? The truth is, God created family to be a smooth and effective "round wheel". But the world—and the influence of sin—comes along to shave down and redefine key relationships, turning God's perfect design into a broken "square wheel". In this message, we dive into God's divine design for family, revealing the simple, non-obvious reason your home life or marriage may be struggling. You love God first, your spouse second, and yourself third. When we get this order wrong, we bring our own baggage, wounding, and narcissistic tendencies into our most sacred bonds. Stop the destructive "tug of war" in your home, reject the square wheel, and learn how to get on the same side to build a transformed, unshakable life.

At The Movies: Spider-Man | 12Stone Church

Everyone has problems they are trying to fix, from daily struggles to deeper issues like anxiety or a broken marriage. In this message, Pastor Jason takes a look at the movie
Spider-Man: No Way Home to explore how our problems, much like Peter Parker's, don't exist in a vacuum and often become someone else's pain.
Just like Peter tried to ignore, hide, and fix his problems on his own, we often do the same. However, ignoring our problems won't make them go away, and hiding them only makes them grow more dangerous. The Bible says that our sin will track us down and that the consequence of sin is always "later and greater". It always leads to a harvest of decay and death.
Ultimately, Spider-Man realizes that to fix everything, a great sacrifice must be made. Similarly, the Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death, which means a sacrifice must be made to fix our problems. The good news is that we don't have to be the ones to make that sacrifice. While we were still powerless and caught in our sin, Christ died for us. God loves and values us so much that Jesus was glad to die in our place, giving us the opportunity for a new life.
If you're tired of running, hiding, or trying to fix your problems on your own, it's time to stop and trust in the free gift of forgiveness and salvation that Jesus offers. He is the only way to have a true fresh start.

At The Movies: Hook | 12Stone Church

In this teaching, we explore the core message of the movie Hook: a man who misplaced his identity and lost his purpose, leaving him hollow, empty, and powerless. Pastor JB argues that this is a timely word for us today, as much of the suffering we experience is the result of misplaced identity in things like career, relationships, and politics. Biblically, this misplaced identity is a form of idolatry that leads to anger, apathy, or aimlessness.
The good news is that salvation isn't just forgiveness—it's an identity transformation. When you surrender to Jesus, he redefines you as a new creation and an ambassador for Christ, breaking the cycle of brokenness.
This sermon speaks to two groups: those who need boldness in their identity as a Christ-follower and those who need to bow to Jesus for the first time to find their true identity and purpose.
