This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... Life presents many statistical improbabilities. Sometimes we see people overcome these improbabilities, and we are amazed. But life also presents many impossibilities. One of these impossibilities is the resurrection of the dead. No man has power over the dead. God, on the other hand, is not bound by natural law. He rules over the crea...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... The scene portrayed in the Gospels of Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem has been recounted innumerable times throughout the generations. As we consider it from our vantage point, we can see the appropriate celebration of the King, but we also know what was going to occur at the end of the week: Jesus would be on display as the suff...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... Why does life take various twists and turns? Is there any point to turmoil? As we approach Ecclesiastes chapter 7, Solomon will speak of the brokenness of the world and the brokenness of man. In his musing, we will notice that there is much wisdom to be gained from the troubles we experience. While our fairytale expectations may be das...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... In the next section of Ecclesiastes (5:8-6:12), Solomon will explain that man's selfishness is clearly seen (5:8-17), and that this selfishness does not result in satisfaction (5:10-12; 6:1-7). But there is one who knows what is good for man (6:8-12). Solomon states the importance of receiving as a grace gift the ability to view life, ...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... Approaching the worship of God should be with great awe. Solomon begins to dive into one of the threads he has woven into the fabric of Ecclesiastes: the fear of God. Essentially, he will tell us to listen with awe (v. 1), speak with awe (vv. 2-3), commit ourselves with awe (vv. 4-6), and live with awe (v. 7). We should ensure the we a...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... Oppression (vv. 1-3), envy (vv. 4-6), vulnerability (vv. 7-12), and popularity (vv. 13-16) are some of the disadvantages Solomon associates with living without sharing life (Ecclesiastes 4). It is clear that Solomon became aware that life is better with friends. His thoughts should press our minds further. We are refreshed by the reali...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... The book of Ephesians provides vital instruction concerning the Holy Spirit's activity in and for God's people. He seals us in Christ (Eph. 1:13-14), creates unity with other believers (Eph. 4:3-4), and empowers us to live Christlike lives (Eph. 5:18-21). Join us as Pastor Bill considers these and other elements of the Spirit's work. ...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... The apostle Paul recognized himself to be the foremost of sinners, having been "a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent" to the gospel (1 Tim. 1:13). But where his sin abounded, the grace of God abounded much more (Rom. 5:20). Join us as Elder Dave Parent considers God's grace that truly is greater than all our sin. Sunday Son...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... Mankind prefers autonomous control over life. Solomon has come to learn well that our lives are under the sovereign control of God from birth to death (Eccl. 3:1-8). God is at work bringing forth His beautiful purposes (v. 11a). When life is properly observed, man recognizes that there is more than this physical universe ("He has put e...
