What is Unity?

In the Kingdom of God, Jesus is our unwavering anchor, offering hope and unity amidst life’s storms. Our hope is firmly rooted in our identity in Christ, while the unity of the Church is strengthened under His name. Each of us is invited to the table of the Lord, encouraged to align with the mind and spirit of Christ. This means examining areas where worldly influences may have distorted our identity in Him, surrendering these at the cross, and embracing the truth of who we are in Christ. If forgiveness or unity feels challenging, reach out for prayer or support. This week, look for one way to display Christ’s unbroken unity within your community. At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

What is Hope?

The Kingdom of God is filled with unwavering hope—a belief that no matter our past, Jesus offers redemption and a secure future. Hope is woven throughout the Bible and is central to the Gospel, nourishing our souls and strengthening us to face life’s challenges. When we anchor our hope in Christ, it influences every area of our lives: our relationships, careers, and dreams. But hope is a choice. It calls us to look beyond worldly distractions to find true strength in the living water Jesus provides, just as He offered to the woman at the well, meeting her without judgment. This hope isn’t private; it’s meant to be shared. Whether you're exploring faith or are ready to take a public step, remember, hope is life-changing and brings peace that flows into every part of our journey.

Why Does Hospitality Matter?

Hospitality isn’t just about sharing a meal or having a spotless home; it’s about inviting others into our lives, even the messy parts, so they can see Jesus in us. Southern hospitality says, 'Come on in and make yourself at home,' and that’s the heart of Christ too! When we welcome others with love and openness, we make them feel valued and seen – just as God welcomes us. Let’s look for ways to show that same love and let our homes and hearts be a reflection of Jesus. Who can you invite in to experience His love today?

How Do I Pray Bold Prayers?

God has made Himself accessible to us through prayer, inviting us to boldly approach Him with our needs and desires. Often, we either underestimate God’s power or doubt our worthiness to pray. Yet, God desires bold, faith-filled prayers—ones that can move mountains and perform miracles, like parting seas or raising the dead. Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us that He is able to do far more than we can imagine through His power within us. We are encouraged to make prayer a daily practice and are welcome to join weekly prayer meetings at each campus for deeper connection. Reach out to your campus pastor for more details!

What Does Compassion Look Like?

Learning the culture of God's Kingdom means learning directly from the King Himself. Jesus redefined what it means to lead by showing deep compassion and love that meets real needs, inviting us to do the same and embrace His heart for others.

Why Should I Serve?

Jesus’ example calls us to serve others sacrificially, even when we disagree, because He did the same for us while we were still sinners. The text reflects on how culture has shifted and outlines three options for influence: care, act, see, and celebrate. Practically, it encourages identifying a specific need in your community and serving sacrificially, followed by reflecting on the impact and joy of making a difference.

How to Live with Competing Desires

Desires can pull us in many directions, but as followers of Christ, we are called to live by the Spirit, not by our flesh. Surrendering to Jesus is just the beginning. True transformation comes when we intentionally turn away from our old desires and embrace the freedom only Christ can offer.

Get In The Game with Michael Jr

The challenges you’ve faced in the past, which may have once seemed like disadvantages, are often part of God’s preparation for your future purpose. Whether you realize it or not, you’ve been honing your talents and gifts since childhood. When it’s “game time,” God will guide you to use them. Like a GPS recalculating when you veer off course, God helps you course-correct toward your destination, even if the journey becomes longer and harder. During frustrating moments, listen for His gentle voice, reminding you to “Be Still.” This week, reflect on past challenges that have shaped your path, and consider sharing your thoughts with someone close.

How Does God Transform Me?

Many of us focus on caring for our outward appearance while neglecting our inner well-being. We hide our flaws, not just from others, but also from God. This video explores the importance of focusing on our hearts, not just the external, and how surrendering to Jesus is a daily process. We need to seek forgiveness, be authentic, and let go of the habit of hiding. True transformation starts when we embrace our new identity in Christ and continually surrender to Him.

How Should the Church Interact with the World?

The Kingdom of God operates on principles that are entirely different from those of the world, and the church must be aware of this distinction to avoid conforming to the world's ways. While the world's kingdom leads to brokenness and regret, God's Kingdom offers healing and blessing. Jesus instructs the church to be in the world but not like it, showing compassion and humility to help people come to faith. This week's challenge encourages believers to embody a "pineapple" standard for personal conduct while adopting a "peach" approach—soft and approachable—towards others, making it easier for them to find Jesus.
