God is moving in a unique way right now. Hearts are open. People are hungry. It’s not so different from what we see in the book of Acts. On the day of Pentecost, God poured out His Spirit. Jesus had already promised that He would build His church. But how does that actually happen? The book of Acts shows us: Jesus builds His church with living stones.’

“…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house…” – 1 Peter 2:5

Men and women like Barnabas, Philip, Timothy, and Priscilla and Aquila were living stones in their generation. Now it’s our turn—so that a new generation can experience the glory of God in the person of Jesus Christ.
