House of Living Stones: Part 3

Jim Crouch

If you ever done even minor home improvement, you’ve probably had to deal with building codes.    At the most basic level, building codes ensure houses are built to safely withstand all the environmental world has to throw at it.  Code typically dictates the material specifications and structural requirements…both very crucial when you think about earthquakes, hurricanes and our recent 3 feet of snow.

Its much the same with the spiritual house Peter talks about. The spiritual house must also weather all this world has to throw at it.  In chapter 1, Peter presents certain ways of life (building codes, if you will) that create structural integrity and stronger bonds with one another, and ultimately, stronger bond to The Foundation.

Listen in as Stan highlights these 5 dispositions and hear how we can use them to build a stronger house fixed securely to The Foundation.

House of Living Stones: Part 1

Jim Crouch

In this message, Stan kicks of a new series entitled House of Living Stones. This series is a walk through the book of Peter.

In his book, Peter uses the idea that the church is house of living stones. And, if we as a the Church are going to reach the margins of society, and those pushed away by the institutional Church or never interested in the Church…this  House of Living Stones metaphor is an ideal way to demonstrate Jesus’ power, love, grace and mercy in the world. Listen in as Stan explores I Peter 1.
