What in your life needs to be rebuilt? In this message, Pastor Ron continues the Altars series by looking at Elijah in 1 Kings 18 and the call to rebuild the altar of the Lord. Before the fire fell, the altar had to be repaired—and before revival comes, God often calls us to deal with compromise, tear down idols, and restore what has fallen into disrepair. Whether it’s your relationship with God, your marriage, your family, or your personal devotion, this message is a challenge to return to wholehearted covenant with God and make room for Him to reignite the fire. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://www.livingstones.church 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

What does it really mean to surrender your life to God? In this message, Ryan Johnson opens the Altars series by looking at Abraham, Isaac, and the altar of surrender. We’re reminded that surrender is not how we earn God’s love or salvation but it is our response to what Jesus has already done for us. God is inviting us to become living sacrifices: offering Him our decisions, relationships, ambitions, and everyday lives. The question is, what are we still holding back? 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://www.livingstones.church 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

In this message, Pastor Ronnie closes out the Awakening series by looking at the culture of heaven—and what that should mean for the culture of the church. In Luke 15, every time something lost is found, the response is celebration. We’re reminded not to get so focused on serving, routines, or what we think we deserve that we miss the Father’s heart for prodigals. There is still room, there is still one more person to reach, and we’re invited to help throw the party when they come home. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://www.livingstones.church 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

What if the God of the universe isn't waiting for you to clean up your act before He welcomes you home? Dr. Ron Johnson walks us through Luke 15 and paints a breathtaking picture of a Father who doesn't wait for a negotiation or a polished confession. When the prodigal son was still a long way off, the father lifted his robe, exposed his shame, and sprinted down the road to embrace a dirty, broken child. Here is the profound tension and beauty of the gospel: God's affection toward us is never based on our performance or contribution, but entirely on His relentless mercy. He doesn't hold our sin against us, and He delights to lavish us with a robe of honor, a family ring of authority, and a joyful feast of restoration. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://www.livingstones.church 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

In this message, Pastor Ronnie continues the Awakening series by looking at the prodigal son and the way shame can distort how we think God sees us. We may assume the Father is disappointed, distant, or waiting for us to prove ourselves—but the gospel tells a different story. Before the son could finish his apology, the father ran to him, embraced him, and welcomed him home. This message is a reminder that your relationship with God is not based on what you’ve done, but on what Jesus has already done for you. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://www.livingstones.church 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

In this message, Pastor Ron continues the Awakening series with the story of the prodigal son and the moment he finally comes to his senses. He shows us that repentance begins when we stop making excuses, get honest about where we are, and admit that we can’t save ourselves. The Good News is that God isn’t waiting for you to fix yourself first. He’s waiting for you to come home, surrender, and let Jesus do what only He can do. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://lstones.org  👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

In this message, Pastor Aaron continues the Awakening series by looking at the prodigal son and the role regret can play in bringing us back to God. Regret can lead us in two very different directions: toward shame and pride, or toward conviction, repentance, and real change. Your past may carry consequences, but it does not have to define your future. When we take ownership, turn toward Jesus, and lay our shame at the cross, He can begin to redeem the story. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://lstones.org  👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

In this message, Pastor Ron continues the Awakening series by looking at the prodigal son and the restlessness that can live in the human heart. We all long for purpose, joy, belonging, and satisfaction, but those desires can never be fully met apart from the Father. If you’ve ever felt like something is still missing, this message is a reminder that the ache in your heart may be pointing you back to God. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://lstones.org  👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

In this message, Pastor Ronnie kicks off the Awakening series by looking at Saul’s life-changing encounter with Jesus in Acts 9. Saul wasn’t searching for Jesus, Jesus found him, stopped him in his tracks, and completely changed the direction of his life. Pastor Ronnie reminds us that God is still searching for lost people today, and our role is simply to recognize where He is already working and respond in obedience. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://lstones.org  👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

In this message, Pastor Ron reminds us that following Jesus was never meant to end with us. God is always at work, the harvest is great, and every believer has been called to join His mission. You don’t have to be perfect or have it all figured out—just be willing to follow Jesus, grow in Him, and help someone else do the same. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://lstones.org  👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

In this message, Pastor Ronnie helps us look at what it really means to be a disciple of Jesus. Discipleship isn’t a separate level of Christianity—it is the Christian life. Through God’s Word, His Spirit, and His people, Jesus continues to shape us to become more like Him and help others follow Him too. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://lstones.org  👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

In this message, Pastor Aaron explores what it really means to belong to Jesus and His Church. Looking at Jesus’ call to His first disciples, he shows that following Christ is more than belief—it’s an invitation to be changed, live with purpose, and become part of something bigger than yourself. You were made to belong, grow, and help others follow Jesus. If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines or wondering where you fit, this message is an invitation to take your next step. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://lstones.org  👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

What does it really mean to be part of the Church? In this message from Acts 2, we look at God’s design for biblical community—a church devoted to truth, fellowship, prayer, generosity, and mission. Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone. We’re called to belong, grow, and help others take their next step with Christ. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, overlooked, or unsure where you fit, this message is for you. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://lstones.org  👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

As we dive into PART 2 of this sermon, ask yourself this question: How do you remain standing when life brings pressure, adversity, delay, sickness, financial challenges, or unexpected battles? In this powerful message, guest speaker Apostle John Tetsola teaches on how to develop a strong spirit for difficult seasons. Drawing from scriptures including 2 Corinthians 4:8–9, Proverbs 18:14, Proverbs 24:10, Psalm 112, Matthew 7, Ephesians 3:16, and Hebrews 4:12, Apostle Tetsola explains why our ability to endure adversity is connected to the strength and capacity of our inner man. A strong spirit anchors you to the promises of God, fuels your perseverance, and gives you the strength to remain faithful even when circumstances seem to contradict what God has spoken. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://lstones.org  👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church

In this powerful message, Apostle John Tetsola explores the biblical process between receiving a promise from God and actually experiencing its fulfillment. Using Joshua 21, Joshua 23, Luke 1, and Obadiah 1:17, Apostle Tetsola reminds us that God is faithful to fulfill what He has promised, but there is a process we must walk through. He unpacks the significance of Mount Zion and the progression described in Obadiah: dependence upon God, deliverance, holiness, and ultimately possessing what God has promised. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more content like this!  🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a video!  ⛪ ABOUT LIVING STONES CHURCH: Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.  WE BELIEVE that Jesus saves and restores broken people  WE MAKE strong marriages and families our priority  WE BELIEVE transformed people transform culture  WE ARE committed to seeing the Great Commission become the great completion.  🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://lstones.churchcenter.com/giving  STAY CONNECTED:  🌐 Website: https://lstones.org  👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lstoneschurch/  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lstoneschurch  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingStones.Church
