Can Faith Actually Change My Life? | 12Stone Church

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.

If you're ready to step out of the boat and experience the full, thrilling life of following Jesus, this message is for you.
