Cornerstone Church

We begin our study in the Book of Revelation by introduction the background of this book including the reason for it's writing, along with the style, approach, and other aspects of how it connects the rest of the Bible together. For more resources in this series, visit our website.

What exactly is the church and how do we fit in it? More importantly, what has God given us in order to see His Kingdom expanded on earth through the building of His Church? Today we dive into 5 ways we will Build His Church in 2024.

Jesus came to us, Immanuel, God with us. At His birth, the darkness that once covered the earth began to draw back. Through His completed work on the cross, we are free from the darkness in our life. At times, we still struggle in darkness. So how can we look to Jesus to bring His light in our dark situations?

God has called us to partner with Him in bringing good over evil in this world. Many times we find ourselves fighting against the evil world, following others rather than God, or evening following our own desires over God. How do we persevere to continue to stand with God for good over evil in this world?

God has called us to partner with Him in bringing good over evil in this world. That’s not always the most popular or easiest thing to do. Jesus told us that following and obeying Him wouldn’t always be easy. So, how can we remain obedient to God when there are other easier options in the world?

What do we do when we feel alone, tired, and weary? Elijah, as powerful as he was, came to this point in life and made some bad decisions that we can learn from. As we overcome evil in these last days, we must be reminded that in order to persevere, we must remain in strength. Here are some ways we can strengthen ourselves in the Lord.

We must pray if we are to stand with God against the evil in this world. Sometimes there are questions we have when it comes to prayer. Today we look at Elijah's prayer for rain, along with what James has to say about prayer, in order to overcome evil with good through prayer.

When evil is getting the attention and seems in control the circumstances, it’s time to rise and stand for God. It could seem hard, it could feel like you’re doing it alone, and it could take a lot of faith. In it all, we must remember that when you stand for God, God stands for you.

The world is getting more evil every single day, and it could seem like evil is winning. The believers in the world are too silent on matters of God and it's time to rise up like Elijah did in his day to stand for God in evil days.

What do we do when life brings us impossible situations? We bring the victory we have in Jesus to that impossibility and it becomes possible. In this podcast, Pastor Ryan discusses Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood and how they encountered the possible in their impossiblity when Jesus showed up.

When things in life seem like they aren’t going well and hope is fading, where do we turn? If we continue to focus on what is seen, we may lose more hope, but if we can focus on God’s promises in His Word, hope and faith will rise. Today we look at two examples of Jesus making the impossible possible. Nothing is impossible with God.

There is a good portion God has for us, one that will never be taken away. In a life full of choices, how do we choose what is good and pleasing to God? How can we say no what the world offers and say yes more to what Jesus is offering us?

What do we do when we are faced with sorrow? Do we just drudge through life and wait for it to pass? Or is there a better way out that will lead to joy? Today we look at I Samuel 1 and the story of Hannah to see how joy from our Father results with a surrender to Him.

When chaos and uncertainty is present in the world, what is our response? Do we live in worry or fear? Or do we bring the light of Jesus, rooted in the power, love, and sound mind that comes from God? In today's sermon, Pastor Ryan goes through how Jesus warns us of the events to come, and how we can move from fear to faith as we face these end times.

At any moment Jesus shows up in our lives and saves us from our circumstances. What do we after that happens? Do we go back to how life was or do we have the desire to stay with Jesus and make Him the one thing above all other things?

As we begin this new series, we take a look at the things in life that prevent us from being able to surrender all aspects of life to Jesus and receive from Him that which can never be taken away.

How do we have protection and hope in a world that often brings disappointment, discouragement, and fear? Paul tells us to take the helmet of salvation and through that, we protection and a hope that is both living for now, and enduring through all the trails of life.

What do we do when the enemy attacks us and doesn’t seem to relent in that attack? God has given us a great shield to protect against those attacks – it’s the shield of faith. Faith was perfected in Jesus and we look to Him to know how we can not only endure, but come out victorious in the attacks from the enemy.

Things in life can be shaky at times and when things are unstable, our peace gets threatened. How can we live a life a peace that God says we can when so much is going on in the world that disrupts our peace? Let’s look to God’s Word for the answers.

What do we do when we are attacked by the enemy? We are called to put on the full armor of God. One of those armor pieces is the breastplate of righteousness. How does this protect us against the schemes of the enemy and how do we put it on?

What is truth? That’s a common question in society today. Truth is essential. So essential that we are commanded to put on the belt of truth so that all other pieces of the armor of God are held in place. So where do we find truth and how do we make it the center of all we think and do in our life?

Life can present challenges that seem overwhelming and often times we don’t know if we can fight them. In these challenges, we sometimes forget that God is the one leading us in battle and the One that will deliver. Today we see how God delivered Israel in battle in Joshua 10 and how He will also lead us to victory in our battles by delivering us from our enemies.

Would you say that you feel frustrated because you want to be delivered from something - a situation, an attack from the enemy, being stuck in the same place in life - yet you can’t experience that breakthrough of deliverance? Often times we struggle to move to the next place God has for us because of the sin we are still holding onto. However, once repentance takes place, the doors of deliverance...

When life gets tough, we are told to call on the name of the Lord. After we’ve done that, many times we are given instructions on what to do, but we fail to do them and keep crying on the Lord. This can lead to frustration as our problems don’t seem to be going away even though we cry out to God. Today we look at the missing step of obedience in order to find deliverance.

The past can seem haunting. While God wants us focused on the future He has for us, many hours of our day are focused on the opposite of that. We often hold on to the negative of the past without remembering the good God has done. How do we overcome the things of our past so we can enter into the promise of our future with God?
