Living Stones Church

n this message, Dan continues our Blessed series through the Sermon on the Mount, looking at Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:6–7: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness” and “Blessed are the merciful.”
What does it look like to deeply desire the things of God—and to extend to others the same mercy we’ve received from Him? Jesus shows us that the blessed life isn’t about getting more of what the world offers, but being satisfied in Him and becoming people marked by His mercy.

Why do we carve out time to pray when we gather? *And not just as a transition to the next thing*
Dan and Andy talk about why prayer matters in the gathering, how we can actively engage even when someone else is praying, and what happens when the church prays together.

It started with one conversation and one comment: “That should be a podcast.” 🎙️
So…we made one. Why a podcast? Why now? Who is it for? And what do we hope God does through it? Welcome to Episode 1 of The Living Stones Podcast.

The blessed life has less to do with our circumstances and more to do with whose Kingdom we belong to. In this message, Josh Keller explores Jesus’ teaching on persecution and what it means to faithfully follow Him, even when it costs us something.

The world says blessed are the successful, the happy, and the powerful. Jesus offers a different picture. In the opening verses of the Sermon on The Mount, we discover what it means to be poor in spirit, to mourn, and to be meek. True fulfillment begins when we recognize our need for God, receive His comfort in our brokenness, and walk in meekness like Jesus.

From the book of Matthew

Psalm 34

Psalm 139 reminds us of four life-changing truths: God knows us, God is near us, God made us, and God leads us. Because we know who God is, we don’t have to be afraid of what He might find in us.
