The Cornerstone, the very foundation of everything else we are building upon, is Jesus himself. We are adding to the work that Jesus began. He is the Cornerstone; there is no other Cornerstone. But what we build will be upon Him and upon that work toward His end goal for us, and you are those living stones.

God is Sovereign Over the Affairs of Men.

Every Kingdom of Men will bow broken before King Jesus so choose your allegiance accordingly

It's important to make sure our political ideologies align with Christ's vision for the world. We should use Scripture to guide us in forming our beliefs and behaviors about politics.

As citizens of the kingdom of heaven, we need to ensure that our deepest allegiance lies first and foremost to our king, Jesus, and his people. Far too often, our political leanings will divide Jesus' people, who should remain united no matter what.

By following Jesus' example of extreme love in spite of whatever issues are currently in our life, we'll find so much joy, knowing that God is using those issues for His glory and our good.

Fear and anxiety cause constant issues in our lives, but Jesus provides peace, power, and comfort in its place. We can experience these by looking to him as a role model in emotional intelligence and self-awareness. A woman in our congregation shares her journey with anxiety and how Christ has met her in it.

Looking at the lives of biblical figures like Moses and David, we can see that being in the presence of God empowers us will meet our needs in ways that stabilize us even in the middle of anxiety, depression, and worry. We can actively get into God's presence by spending time in small groups of other believers, prioritizing a regular prayer and reading time, and working through our shame.

Jesus is powerful and uncontrollable. Realizing this can be scary because it takes away any illusion that we can control him and make him do what we want, but his proven track record in making everything work out for our best interest can free us from fearing anything else.
