The Rest of the Stones

It was a great morning in Sunday School.  Thank you for everyone that came.  I am sorry that everything got rushed in the end.  Here is the entire list of my Twelve Stones of remembrance. 


Stone #1 God is the Creator, I am the gardener
(Genesis 1:1; 1:27; Isaiah 42:5; Genesis 1:28)

Stone #2 There is no division between secular and sacred
( Colossians 1:16; Colossians 2:3)

Stone #3 The Bible is the Word of Truth
(John 17:17; Psalm 19:7-9; 2 Timothy 3:14-17)

Stone #4 Satan is real, don't dwell on or dismiss him
(1 Peter 5:8; 1 John 3:8; Ephesians 6:11-12)

Stone #5 Sin is not a joke, it is an addiction
(John 8:34; Romans 6:7; 6:14; 6:16)

Stone #6 Grace is free, but it is not cheap
(Romans 5:15; Ephesians 2:8; Phillipians 2:5-8; Romans 3:25; Isaiah 532:5)

Stone #7 Love cannot be separated from obedience.
(1 John 5:2; 1 Peter 1:22)

Stone #8 Faith is not a subsitute for knowing.
(Romans 12:2; Mark 8:33; Mark 12:30; 1 Corinthians 14:15; 2 Corinthians 9:7)

Stone #9 Hope is in my position, not in my circumstances
(1 Peter 1:13; Titus 2:13; 3:7; 1 Timothy 4:10; Colossians 1:27)

Stone #10 Fellowship is a communion, not a potluck
(Acts 2:42-47)

Stone #11 Church is not the same as service.
(Romans 12:10b; 13:8 15:5; 15:7; 16:16; Colossians 3:9; 3:16; Galatians 5:13; 6:2; Ephesians 4:2; 4:32: 5:21;  Romans 12:10a; 14:19; 1 Corinthians 12:25; 1 Thessolonians 4:18;; 5:11;  James 5:16; 1 Peter 4:9)

Stone #12 You are either a conqueror or a captive
( Galatians 3:23; Colossians 2:8; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Romans 8:37)

And here is your baker's dozen
Stone #13 God's Story doesn't start at the Fall, or end at Redemption
  • Creation (John 1:1; Genesis 1:1)
  • Fall ( Genesis 3)
  • Redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30; Colossians 1:13-14)
  • Restoration (Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1)
This is my list of memorial stones, yours may be quite different.  Please share of few of yours in the comment section.

Thanks, troy
