An in-depth study of 1 Kings 15 & 16.

The average divorce rates for Americans are 42 percent for first marriages, 60 percent for second marriages, and 73 percent for third marriages. Since this affects so many people (the couple, the children, the extended family and friends, etc.), it is important to understand God’s view of divorce. What does the Bible say about this subject? And what does it mean for those who have been divorced? Is there forgiveness, healing, and life after divorce? Join Pastor Gary as he teaches through a challenging passage and sensitive subject in today’s study entitled, “God’s View of Divorce.”

An in-depth study of 1 Kings 14.

Whether you are single or married, God has something to say to you through the Bible. There are certain guidelines and parameters for us, no matter what our marital status, concerning how we are to conduct ourselves in relationships. In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul begins by addressing single adults and then moves on to discuss marriage and sex. In today’s study, Pastor Gary takes us through this passage to help us understand God’s view of singleness and marriage.

An in-depth study of 1 Kings 13.

While the culture shouts, “My body, my choice”, the Bible contradicts that for Believers. For Christians, Paul says that our bodies belong to the Lord, and we need to honor God with our bodies. Since our bodies include our sexuality, the question becomes—what does God expect of us in the area of sexuality? Paul gives us guidance about this in 1 Corinthians 6. Follow along as Pastor Gary shares today’s teaching entitled, “God’s View of Sex.”

Cornerstone's pastors lead in a night of prayer for the election and the future of the nation.

If someone begins a question with the phrase, “Do you not know?” this usually implies that either you did know, or should have known, but you failed to act. Paul begins six questions like this in 1 Corinthians 6 to correct some things that the Corinthian church was doing wrong. In today’s study, Pastor Gary tackles three of those questions to help us understand God’s perspective on lawsuits and lifestyles.

In today’s study from 1 Corinthians 5, Pastor Gary explains the rare, but sometimes necessary, need to exercise “church discipline”—the process by which church leadership confronts a person living in open, unrepentant sin, encourages the person to repent of that sin, but then removes the person from fellowship if he/she does not repent. And what if something like this is happening in your own home or extended family? How do you respond to those who are living in open, unrepentant sin but still expect you to just “love” and “accept” them rather than “judge” them. That’s the definition of “tolerance” in today’s culture. Listen or watch as Pastor Gary helps us to understand what true Biblical tolerance looks like.
