This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... As the apostle Paul addressed the Ephesian elders in Acts 20, he knew that his ministry among them was coming to an end. But he was able to leave without any regrets, knowing that he "did not shrink from declaring...anything that was profitable" (Acts 20:20a). It's vital that our lives as believers are marked by this same pattern of mi...

"Friend, what are you looking for in a church? Good music? A happening atmosphere? A traditional order of service? How about: a group of pardoned rebels... whom God wants to use to display his glory... before all the heavenly host... because they tell the truth about him... and look increasingly just like him - holy, loving, united?" - Mark Dever What Is a Healthy Church...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:1921) This Sunday as ...

"According to Jesus, God does exercise His sovereignty in very minute events - even the life and death of an almost worthless sparrow. And Jesus' whole point is: If God so exercises His sovereignty in regard to sparrows, most certainly He will exercise it in regard to His children. While it is certainly true that God's love for us does not protect us from pain and sorrow, ...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... We will focus on our celebration of the Lord's Supper. Our songs, Scripture reading, prayer, and bible study will lead us to remember the sacrificial love of our God in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. We will take time to examine ourselves before our God, and we will participate in proclaiming the sin-removing death of our Savior ...

"Failure to deal with the presence of sin can often be traced back to spiritual amnesia forgetting our new, true, real identity. As a believer, I am someone who has been delivered from the dominion of sin and who therefore is free and motivated to fight against the remnants of sin in my heart. You must know, rest in, think through, and act upon your new identity you are ...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... Our study of Galatians will move into chapter six, but the subject matter will not change. In these early verses of the final chapter, Paul describes an important application of Christian freedom: God's people have been freed to love one another (Gal. 5:1, 6, 13), and that love is demonstrated powerfully as we bear one another's burden...

"Sin is cosmic treason. Sin is treason against a perfectly pure Sovereign. It is an act of supreme ingratitude toward the One to whom we owe everything, to the One who has given us life itself. Have you ever considered the deeper implications of the slightest sin, of the most minute peccadillo? What are we saying to our Creator when we disobey Him at the slightest point? W...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... We will continue our study through the book of Galatians, finishing chapter five. We will see that the life granted to us by the Spirit is not a life of bondage, but of liberty. We will also consider how walking in harmony with the Spirit eliminates our natural tendency toward being divisive with those who think differently than we do....
