Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of The Church House of Living Stones based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
God
We believe in one God, the Creator and Ruler of the universe, who has revealed Himself as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1,26; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19)
Jesus
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully human. He lived a perfect life and willingly died on the cross to pay for our sins. Three days later, He rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will one day return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-5; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Acts 1:9-11)
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is active in the world, drawing people to Jesus. He lives in every believer, giving strength, wisdom, and guidance. We seek to follow His leading each day and believe His gifts are still available to us today. (1 Corinthians 3:16; John 16:7-13; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; 1 Corinthians 12)
The Bible
The Bible is God’s inspired and perfect Word. It was written by human authors under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It remains true and relevant today, teaching us about God‘s plan for salvation and how to live as followers of Christ. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:89,105,160)
The People
People are made in God’s image and are deeply valued by Him. However, sin separates us from God. (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2)
Salvation
Salvation is a gift from God. We cannot earn it through good works—it is only by trusting in Jesus and accepting His forgiveness that we are saved. When we turn from sin and out our trust in Him, we receive new life and the promise of eternity with God. (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:5)
Eternity
Heaven and hell are real. Those who accept Christ will be with God forever; those who reject Him face eternal separation. (John 3:16; Revelation 20:15)
Our Worship
At the core of our beliefs lies the understanding that worship holds an immense potential to establish a profound connection with God and encounter His divine presence within our existence. With this principle in mind, our worship services are thoughtfully crafted to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of Christ's teachings.
