Jesus is the model for how we should all handle sin. He did three things in John Chapter 8 when he encountered a woman, who was about to be stoned for adultery.

First, He asked whoever was without sin to cast the first stone. One by one everyone dropped their stones. 12Stone is a stone-dropping church because we recognize that we’re all tempted outside the circle of God’s design, and none of us are righteous enough by our own sake to condemn another person.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8

Second, Jesus led with love – not condemnation.

Third, Jesus ended with love. There is freedom in letting God define who you are. And once you've been forgiven, you’re marked by God’s grace, you carry His love into a fallen world, and you leave your sin behind.

Who is welcome at 12Stone? All sinners. Adulterers, greedy, slanderers, gossipers, prostitutes, gluttons, evil doers, strippers, porn addicted, thieves, idolaters, murderers, porn stars, divorced, gays, lesbians, bi-sexual, remarried, jealous envious covetous people, lovers of money, people who have casual sex outside marriage, transgender, the self-righteous religious, drug addicted, shopaholics, haters, the violent, drunkards, selfish narcissistic sinners.
