In a world where individual rights are held in high regard, it's fascinating to look back on how Jonah thought about his. And the picture wasn't flattering. Yet, though Jonah may never have understood why God would ask him to deliver a message to Nineveh, we can learn so much about God's sovereignty and God's heart for people. Jonah 4:1-11 Andy Kvernen For more information about Cornerstone Church...

As the series comes to a close, Peter will, in many ways, summarize what he's been teaching the whole book. The God who has worked in the past to save us from our sins is also the God who goes before us and has promised a great inheritance. Thus, whatever hardship he allows in the present, we have the necessary resources to stand firm. So, let's Stand Firm together! 1 Peter 5:8–14 Andy Kvernen For...

Pride can be an ugly thing, can't it? And yet, it can be pervasive not only out in the world but also in the church. Peter offers several "Lessons in Humility" for both leaders and followers. And what we'll discover is that when the people of God embrace humility towards one another and under God, amazing things begin to happen. 1 Peter 5:5-7

Peter moves his attention to the leaders of the church in exile. And as he gives them instructions on how to help the church stand firm, we'll discover some incredibly important principles to apply not only in the leadership of Cornerstone, but in every place where God gives us influence. 1 Peter 5:1–4 Andy Kvernen For more information about Cornerstone Church, visit www.cornerstonemarshfield.com

Peter challenges us to stand firm in our faith by arming ourselves with Christ-like thinking, even as we endure temptation and persecution from a world that is following a very different path. 1 Peter 4:1–6 Andy Kvernen For more information about Cornerstone Church, visit www.cornerstonemarshfield.com

We come to one of the most challenging texts in the entire New Testament, where Peter describes Jesus proclaiming to spirits who are in prison and then references Noah and baptisms in a way that, at first, seems pretty obscure. But as we break the passage down, we'll find that what Peter teaches adds perfectly to his challenge for the church in exile to stand firm in their faith, even while suffer...

Peter moves on to a new section that teaches us how to stand firm without fear as we consider God's reasons for allowing suffering and our response to it. 1 Peter 3:13–17 Andy Kvernen For more information about Cornerstone Church, visit www.cornerstonemarshfield.com

Peter again says "be subject," this time as he addresses slaves who are constrained by their masters. Ever struggle to know how to respond to a difficult boss?

This message is for you. 1 Peter 2:18–25 Andy Kvernen For more information about Cornerstone Church, visit www.cornerstonemarshfield.com
