Stones - They play a big role in God’s story. When God did something significant in the lives of people in the Old Testament, they would take stones and build a monument with them, memorializing forever what God had done. Remember the woman caught in adultery in the gospel? The law said she was to be stoned to death, and the religious leaders were more than ready to comply. However, when Jesus invited any one of them without sin to start the process, each of their stones soon fell to the ground. Then there’s the discussion between Jesus and Peter where Christ actually called him a stone. He clarified that Peter was a small stone in the story, but that Jesus Himself was the strong stone foundation of the church that the gates of hell would not prevail against. Of course the most infamous stone in the Bible was the one rolled against the mouth of the tomb that held the body of Jesus after His crucifixion. Through our message series in April at Crossroad's Church we’ll discover what these stones mean to us today.
