Living Stones Christian Church - East Bay

Serving displays God's love in action; practical acts of love prepare hearts for the gospel

Eating breaks barriers; God draws people like Zacchaeus through presence and grace

Listening is evangelism; join what God is already doing; prepare to be interrupted

Conflicts are born out of fear and offer an invitation to step out of the 'fear dance' draw near to God for our legitimate needs.

God loves the wrong people. Will we allow God's merciful and just character to grow compassion in our own hearts?

The destination of our journey being God Himself, and how our witness as holy priests will allow the whole earth to know his glory.

Jonah preaches a half hearted gospel, but reveals the deep mystery of God's purpose to partner with humans in the course of history. No matter what the people do, God never goes back on his covenant purpose to use this family to bless the nations.

Caring for the orphan

Jonah's time in the fish is portrayed as a kind of death. But will this passage through death into new life change him? That's the big question explored in the last chapter of Jonah.

Jonah rebelliously flees the call of God, but saves the sailors. Even our evil can become an instrument of God's purposes.
