Cornerstone Baptist Church

In the first 10 chapters of Romans Paul lays out for us the incredible truths of the gospel: By God's grace alone through faith alone believers in Jesus may be saved from the anger of God over our sin.

Paul gives the Corinthians a strong warning to beware of false prophecy. This warning stands for churches today as we should be careful that the doctrines revealed in the scripture are the doctrines represented in our pulpits, homes and hearts.

Believers have the incredible gift of having our lives hidden with Christ in God. This leads us to put to death the old ways of the living and turn to the righteous ways of Christ.

God changed the life of Saul of Tarsus by calling him for His kingdom purposes. Once a tormenter of the Christian church, Paul would be used by God to spread the faith while penning fundamental doctrines of Christian belief in his multiple letters. Like Paul, each believer is called out of his sin and into bearing kingdom fruit.

In Acts 8 we see the task of evangelism. We see in Phillip’s encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch an example of the authority, content and consistency of the message of the gospel. From this text we are exhorted to read the scriptures, be ready to share Christ and to rejoice when gospel fruit springs forth.

Authentic Christian Faith

In a brief overview of Romans chapters 1-11 Paul offers an explanation of the gospel. Here we see the incredible news of God's grace of salvation through faith in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

As we consider Acts 6 - 7, we see the story of Stephen who sets the example for the church: a bolder proclaimer of truth and a witness who suffers.

In Acts 4 we are able to see four essential marks of a true church: Preaching, Prayer, Unity and Generosity

Peter exhorts the early Christians to make their calling and election sure by living as they are called through the power of Jesus.
