As we begin a new ministry year and celebrate 30 years of Cornerstone, we are reminded that everything we build depends on the foundation beneath it. This message invites us to build our lives—and our church—on Jesus, trusting Him, serving Him, and receiving His love as we pursue His gospel and His kingdom.

Peter’s story is one of bold faith, painful failure, and remarkable restoration. Jess walks through Peter’s denial of Jesus and his powerful encounter with the risen Christ, showing how Jesus meets us in our brokenness, restores our relationship with Him, and calls us back into a life of purpose. Peter’s failure didn’t have the final word and neither do ours.

What can Peter's life teach us about following Jesus? In this message, Dan traces Peter's journey from humble beginnings to courageous faith, showing how ordinary people are transformed through walking closely with Christ. As Peter learns that following Jesus is no joke, we discover that even one step of faith can change the course of a life.

Gene concludes our series in 1 Peter with Peter’s final words to the persecuted church. In order to continue on and to leave a legacy in the face of severe persecution, the church will need to incorporate two important postures. These postures will give them the courage to live boldly for the kingdom and to leave behind a lasting legacy.

Tim continues our Resilient Exiles series with 1 Peter 4:7–11, where the church is called to become a living reflection of God’s Kingdom: a community that loves deeply, welcomes freely, and serves generously. In the midst of exile, Peter invites us not merely to endure, but to embody our true home and experience the Kingdom of Heaven among us.

This week Aaron continues our series Resilient Exiles as we explore Peter's invitation to "live such good lives" in the face of suffering and persecution. Together, we'll discover how a life rooted in Christ empowers us to become a witness of blessing, even in the midst of hardship.

This week, Benny and Janice from El Pozo de Vida share how true freedom in Christ is available to everyone and is strengthened through community. Drawing from John 8 and James 1, they explore how pain can become a platform for growth and how God develops character through every season.

Peter calls us living stones, built together into a spiritual house. We trace God's presence from Eden, to the temple veil, to the cross, to the Spirit in His people... and ask what it means that YOU are part of that house.

This week Brian emphasizes God’s command to be holy, encouraging believers to live with purpose and intentionally make room for God in their daily lives, and in the world around them.

Starting our new series, Resilient Exiles, Brian explores 1 Peter 1 and what it means to live as faithful exiles in a world filled with uncertainty and suffering. Discover how the living hope found in Christ becomes a light for our path, a foundation for our faith, and a promise that carries us through every season of life. This message reminds us that Christian hope is not wishful thinking, it is a confident certainty grounded in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
