WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEK!
GREETINGS FROM PASTOR PAUL
WELCOME
We desire to help you walk in freedom in every area of your life. Free from the negative effects of future uncertainties, economic pressures, relational tensions, anxiety, worry, fear, and the like. Jesus’ story bears compelling witness to the fact the He has a purpose filled life for each one of us to live out fully and freely.
At Living Stones Church we provide many opportunities for you to discover the truth and learn practical skills that will help you to move towards a life of real and lasting freedom. Take the first step, reach out, and let us journey with you.
“Living Stones Church gives me a sense of belonging. Family. Safety. Honesty. Pastor Paul is a remarkable teacher. This church has been my rock through life’s hardest times. My long, challenging divorce, the loss of my son, so many things. But I feel like I am covered when I am in LSC. And I know I am loved and welcomed and prayed for.
I look forward to coming every Sunday.”

"Gifts are pretty awesome. Most people love to receive one even if they cannot admit it to themselves or others. That does not mean we appreciate all gifts we receive to the same degree. Every gift can touch each of us differently. For one person, it might be material gifts; for another, it’s the gift of time with a friend, the gift of someone helping them when they need it, or the gift of being honestly heard and understood by another. The point is that we all desire gifts, and that is okay. What can become detrimental is the motivation driving that desire.
We tend to want to measure ourselves; part of our human nature is constantly quantifying and comparing our lives against others or some arbitrary cultural standard. I don’t think some measuring is wrong if we choose the correct measuring stick. God tells us to examine ourselves, that there are aspects of our lives that need to grow and others that need to die. A mistake we can make is to take the spiritual gifts God has given or not given us and use them to measure our worth and relationship with Him. We run the danger of taking something beautiful, the gifts and tools He wants to give us and build our identity around the gift. Or we use the gifts of God to create a hierarchy in the faith community, slotting us into a pyramid that we feel we need to climb. This type of attitude within the church gives birth to elitist, exclusive, or superior attitudes, which work against the original purpose of why we are given spiritual gifts in the first place." - Pastor Adam
