A five week message series from 1 Peter. The title is “Square Peg::Round Hole“ The fifth week’s lesson is entitled, “Don’t Get Devoured.” It is from 1 Peter 4:11-5:14. 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.
This message was delivered on November 8, 2009 at the Living Stones Church in South Bend, IN by Sam Barrington.
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. Where we’ve been, where we are, and where we believe God is calling us to go. This is a conversation about our calling. This message was delivered by Sam Barrington on October 4, 2009.

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 fourth of four weeks where we are attempting to answer questions submitted by the Living Stones Church in regards to Christianity, Faith, Jesus, Doctrine, and the Bible. This week we discussed questions about the afterlife and the fate of the Jewish people. but because of shifts in people's schedules, normal summer time activity (which we totally understand), and family commitments as of this morning, only two of the twenty responded that they would be able to attend tonight. Because of that, we have decided to cancel tonight's Discovery Class and I, Sam Barrington, will eat cheap pizza all by my lonesome self and think about next month's Discovery Class. ;-) I'm sorry for the quick change in your plans, especially for those of you who made adjustments to your own schedule to be here this evening. I hope you will consider attending our next Discovery Class on Thursday, August 27th @ 6:00 p.m. Thank you for your understanding!
