Cornerstone Boulder Weekly Podcast

We Are All Prodigals, Brian is launching a new series on the parable in Luke 15, we discover how both sons are lost in different ways, and how the Father’s relentless grace meets us wherever we are and calls us home.

Psalm 103 ends with a sweeping call for all creation to praise the Lord. But the psalm returns to where it began: “Bless the Lord, O my soul.” In this message Kari explores how our hearts, words, and lives are meant to join the song of praise being sung across heaven and earth.

This message explores the fragile nature of human life and contrasts it with the everlasting love and sovereignty of God. Drawing from thinkers like Viktor Frankl and Scripture such as Psalm 103, it argues that true meaning and stability are found not in achievements or experiences, but in anchoring our lives in God's eternal love.

This message from Psalm 103 invites us to examine the image of God we carry and rediscover Him as a compassionate Father rather than a distant authority. Through Scripture and story, we see that His mercy is greater than our failure and His steadfast love forms the foundation of our identity and security.

Gabe unpacks Psalm 103:11–13 and asks a vital question: What does the Bible actually mean by the Fear of the Lord? This message reveals that fearing God is not about terror, but a life-rearranging, joyful awe rooted in His holiness, kindness, forgiveness, and fatherly compassion.

Gene asks the questions, “Is sin too bad to be true” and “Is grace too good to be true?” Answering these questions leads to a fresh and liberating understanding of the role sin and grace play in God’s grand Story.

Brian shares how God makes Himself known to us through Scripture, the Spirit, Jesus, and the lives of ordinary people, and how your story can point others to Him.

Brian explores how God’s heart for righteousness (tzedakah) and justice (mishpat) shapes both our worship and our life in the world. This message invites us to live as a distinct people marked by sacrificial love, compassion for the vulnerable, and faithful engagement in a complex public space.

This week Aaron continues our series on Psalm 103 looking at King David’s admonition to never forget that God is our rescue, redemption and healer.

When we place our faith in Jesus, a change takes place at the deepest level of who we are—dying to the old life and rising into new life in Christ. Tim explores how in baptism, God gives us a visible expression of this inward transformation and invites us to step fully into the life He has for us.

Brian explores the rich history and profound significance of baptism, from Old Testament rituals to its unique expression in Jesus’ name today. Brian highlights how baptism symbolizes being plunged into grace and raised to a new life in Christ, reflecting humility, obedience, and a public confession of faith. This message invites us to understand baptism as a powerful, transformative step in our j...

This Christmas Eve, Brian explores the deep, lasting joy found not in things, but in the face and presence of God. Drawing from Psalm 16 and Isaiah 9, this message reveals how our deepest longings are fulfilled in Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace, whose joy has passed through the manger and the cross and now invites us into life with God Himself.

Gene unpacks the significance of light as he connects the dots between Christmas and Hanukkah in a message called Jesus the Menorah of the world.

Brian reflects on our longing, glory, and shalom, and how each points us to Jesus, the One who fulfills the deepest desires of the human soul.

Advent is a call to learn how to wait well, and teaches us that waiting is not time wasted. Waiting invites us to surrender what we cannot control, to be fully present to God, and to hope with expectation for what He is doing.

Gabe walks through Luke 7 and invites us to rediscover a gratitude rooted not in circumstances but in the transforming love of Christ.

Brian ends our Heart and Soul series with a lot of good news!

Kari shares how God designed us as whole beings—mind, body, and soul—and how He longs for every part of us to flourish. Through Jesus, what’s been fractured is restored, and the Spirit breathes life into all we are.

Brian teaches that true healing, friendship, and strength come from standing side by side in community. Using Nehemiah and examples from Scripture and history, he emphasizes that brokenness is repaired, bonds are formed, and life is built together, heart and soul.

Brian shares about the joy of giving your whole heart and soul to God’s work, drawing from Nehemiah’s rebuilding of Jerusalem to celebrate Cornerstone’s two-year “Heart and Soul” journey of faith, growth, generosity, and community impact.

Brian explores how Genesis 22 is more than a story about Abraham, it’s a mirror that reflects the deepest call of faith: surrender. In this moment of testing, we see that true Christian maturity isn’t about control or achievement, but about trusting God enough to let go of what we treasure most.

Have you ever been fearful, fatigued and frustrated on your journey of faith? This week Aaron continues in our series 'Abraham: Lessons On Maturity', with insights from Genesis 15 that encourage us to engage in the process as we trust that God will fulfill His promises.

What picture of God do you carry? Kari steps into Genesis 18, where God shows up at Abraham’s tent—not distant, but as a guest who lingers over a meal and speaks a promise, and Abraham almost misses who He really is. Together, we’ll explore our own images of God and discover how Jesus gives us a clear picture of a God who draws near, who is full of love and grace.

Gabe continues our series as we look at the life of Hagar, and how she is changed by the God who sees us.

This week Brian continues to unpack Abraham’s story to show how God’s promises shape our faith, how His providence sustains us in uncertainty, and why true maturity means staying faithful in our lane. This message calls us to trust God who weaves our lives into His greater plan.
