A five week message series from 1 Peter. The title is “Square Peg::Round Hole“ The third week’s lesson is entitled, “Let’s Give Them Something to Talk About.” It is from 1 Peter 2:11-3:22. In this message series we talk about the reality that sometimes not everyone around us is exited about the “new life” we have found in Jesus. In that, we can at times experience ridicule, mocking, social isolation, etc. How exactly then do we respond? How do we live our lives as Christians among non-Christians in a way that is faithful and right and at the same time doesn’t bring upon us unnecessary suffering.

We only do them a few times a year. This is one of those times. A conversation about the mission and vision of the Living Stones Church.

This is the second, and final, week of a series entitled Vice. The second week is how we live together in the same community of faith even if we have different Vice lists. How do we exercise our freedoms in Christ while at the same time insuring that we don’t cause our brother or sister to misstep in their walk with Christ? It is a study and discussion of the principles laid out by the apostle Paul in Romans 14 & 15.
This is the first week of a new series entitled Unafraid. This week’s message is entitled Storm Warning. In it we discuss the story of Jesus LITERALLY calming a storm (Mark 4:28-40). In it we learn that no matter what storm arises in our life we can live unafraid because of Jesus. This message was delivered at the Living Stones Church on September 13, 2009 by Sam Barrington.
This is the beginning of a two weeks series entitled VICE. Depending on where you grew up, your community of faith, or your family upbringing, we each have a list of things that we consider to be vices. For some it could be drinking, smoking, playing cards, women wearing short hair, the lottery, etc. We simply don’t have a book-chapter-verse in the Bible that ultimately condemns these things. So what do we do? Each of us, if asked to make a list of vices, would probably have a different list. Ultimately, anything that we look to (even good things) that end up being “God-things” in our life are vices. They become idols that distract us from the life God has called us to.
