Cornerstone Church

In hiking, there's a term that every experienced hiker or mountaineer knows - a false summit. False summits lure us into thinking we've arrived when we're actually far from our destination. When you feel like giving up or you're discouraged, then you need to beware of a false summit mindset. In this message, Pastor Scott shares how God has been at work at Cornerstone in the past year and how we ca...

This Scripture-rich and practical message will help you reframe your view of God and yourself.

Do you ever obsess over what could go wrong? Ever struggle with falling asleep because of intrusive thoughts? Does peace ever feel less like a promise and more like a dream? In this message, Josh McClintock shares how we can live with less worry and more peace. Continuing our series, You in Five Years, Josh shares how God works when we stop trying and we start training.

We live a world where we run at a fast pace. A life of hurry becomes a danger to our ability to follow Jesus and does damage to our souls.

Pastor Scott continues this series in this message by exploring the problem of hurry and how we c...

If you closed your eyes and imagined yourself in five years, what would you see? Well, if we are given the gift of living five more years, the decisions we're making today are making the people we are becoming in 5 years. Like the interest in our accounts, our choices compound, too. In this message, Scott Savage kicks off our first series of 2024 - You in Five Years. He explores who we're becoming...

Did you know that one of the most beloved songs we sing at Christmas isn't really about Christmas? In this message, Tim Jacobs shares about why Joy to the World Isn't a Christmas Song. Tim also shares why this song is a hope-filled song - a song about the second (not the first) coming of Jesus.

There's a phrase we often hear at Christmas time - Emmanuel. The phrase is part of songs and in stories. It means "God is with us." But, what difference does it mean that God is with us? In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Scott Savage talks about Shakespeare, Yuri Gagarin, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and a Christmas present he'll never forget.

In life, we've all had other share their opinions of us. Some of those opinions and some of those words have become labels that we carried. The labels of others often feel like baggage - heavy burdens that weigh us down. But, Jesus offers us a different and better way. In this messages, Pastor Scott shares what Mary's labels would've been and how God's favor changed the way she saw herself. If you...

Is there a date when your life changed? When what you had planned or perhaps didn’t happen? We all carry expectations and plans of how we think our lives will go. But, many times those expectations end up unmet and those plans don’t work out. What do you do when your plans aren’t God’s plans? In this message, Pastor Scott Savage teaches us how we can respond to the surprises life brings our way. U...

We often travel during the holiday season. We pack our suitcases and we head out. But, what we learn over time is that it’s one thing to carry a few suitcases on a trip, but it’s quite another to carry baggage through life. The baggage we carry becomes a burden that weighs us down and exhausts us. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage kicks off the Advent season to consider what life might be like...

We all have our most comfortable spots. Perhaps an overstuffed chair or a corner of the couch at the end of a long day at work. Maybe even our bed with lots of blankets on a cold night. Comfort can be a great place to fall back into when we're tired or spent. But, have you ever considered how comfort might be a bad thing? In a world where comfort is often our highest priority, we often avoid paths...

Do you know what the most important thing about you is? Where you grew up? What do you for a living? What you're passionate about? In this message, Pastor Scott Savage unpacks what's most important about you and how that shapes every interaction you have, including your relationship with yourself.

Have you ever been frustrated with God? God often acts in way that don't match our expectations or reflect our biases. In this message, Pastor Scott continues our series on Jonah by talking about how God was too much for Jonah - offering mercy, compassion, and grace to Jonah's enemies. This message will challenge how you view this book in the Bible and how you view God.

Have you ever been frustrated by what God is doing or NOT doing in your life? God is in the business of challenging the way we think, especially about how He works in the world. In this message, our guest speaker, Jeff Gokee, helps us understand "the worst Gospel presentation ever" in Jonah 3 changed an entire city!

When you study the lives of many famous world-changing figures, you find that they would have never accomplished what they did if it hadn't been for seasons of adversity. It's often in the midst of difficult life events that we discover God at work. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage explores Jonah chapter 2 and how Jonah experienced God's grace. If you ever wondered how God's grace works in you...

Have you ever been surprised by what God has done (or not done)? Those moments often provoke big questions about who God is and about how the world works. Facing those questions often leads us to run from God. The greatest story of someone who ran from God because God didn't do what he expected is the story of Jonah. While many of us think we know the story of Jonah, there is much more here than w...

Have you ever felt like giving up when you're praying? Gotten impatient with God not answering or moving as quickly as you like? In this message, Scott Savage wraps up our Pray! series with a message about the role perseverance and persistence play in prayer.

So many of us are asking “How do I know when God is speaking?” or “How do I listen for God’s response to my prayers?” Talking to God can often come a lot easier than listening to God. But, both are a part of prayer. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage shares that prayer is designed to be a dialogue with God, not a monologue to God. Scott offers practical tools to help you talk with and listen to...

When many of us think about prayer, we think about praying for other people. Illness, surgery, financial issue, marriage problem, or job searches - all of these fall under the banner of what the Bible calls "intercession." But what if the way we pray for other people was far bigger than we imagined? What if our vision of intercession were far too small? With humor and vulnerability, Pastor Scott S...
