Cornerstone Church

God desires a church of one heart, which requires each believer to confront the divided loyalties within their own heart. In this sermon, Pastor Ryan breaks down Acts 4:32-5:11 to give application on how we can live this out.

Life is constantly competing for our attention. Schedules, finances, careers, entertainment, social media, family responsibilities, and the pressures of the world can slowly shift our priorities away from Christ. In this teaching, Pastor Ryan Lovett explores Colossians 1 and 2 to show us how to keep Jesus at the center of our homes. The goal is more than having signs about Jesus on the walls or occasionally talking about faith. Our homes should increasingly become a visible reflection of Christ.

What if some of the fear you experience is more than an emotional response? In the final message of the Fear Not series, Pastor Ryan explores the spiritual battle behind persistent fear through the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 1:7.

Fear can distort our perception, cause us to hyperfocus on threats, keep us in bondage, and lead us away from what God has called us to do. The Holy Spirit gives believers power greater than their own strength, the perfect love of God that casts out fear, and the discipline and self-control needed to renew the mind through God's Word.

Fear is a normal part of life, but it should never become the master of our hearts. In Part 3 of the Fear Not series, Pastor Ryan Lovett walks through Psalm 34 to discover four biblical remedies for fear.

David wrote this psalm after one of the lowest moments of his life, yet instead of remaining captive to fear, he found hope, strength, and peace in the Lord. If fear, discouragement, or anxiety has been weighing you down, this teaching offers practical biblical encouragement to help you walk confidently with Christ.

Fear often feels like something we have to overcome through our own strength. The Bible teaches something very different.

In this second message of the Fear Not series, Pastor Ryan Lovett explores Matthew 14 and the account of Jesus walking on the water. Through Peter's experience, we discover that fear is overcome, not by trying harder, but by drawing near to the presence of God.

Learn why fear causes us to focus on the storm instead of the Savior, what it means to "take heart," and how God's presence replaces anxiety with peace, courage, and unwavering trust.

Fear is one of Satan's greatest weapons against believers. It often begins with a single thought, grows into worry and anxiety, influences our decisions, and eventually controls the way we live. Yet throughout Scripture, God's command is clear: "Fear not."

In this first message of the Fear Not series, Pastor Ryan explains why fear is more than an emotion. It is a spiritual battle. You'll learn how fear develops, why so many Christians unknowingly live under its influence, and how God's Word, prayer, and spiritual warfare renew our minds and break the cycle of fear.

Why do so many marriages struggle with disappointment? Most marriages do not collapse because of one catastrophic event. They slowly erode through unmet expectations, emotional disconnection, comparison, and resentment. In this message, Pastor Ryan Lovett explores the biblical principle of dying to self and how it transforms marriages, relationships, and personal growth. Discover why your spouse was never meant to carry the weight of being your savior, how chronic disappointment develops, and how the Holy Spirit brings healing to unrealistic expectations, emotional wounds, and discontentment.

God desires to have connection and a deep relationship with us. In this teaching, Noel goes through part of the upper room discourse in John 13-14 to show the love God has for us and how we can have a deep connection with Him.

What can we learn from Jesus washing the disciple's feet and how pride affects not only our relationship with God, but those we love as well. Pastor Ryan breaks down how we can recognize pride in our closest relationships and more importantly how Holy Spirit helps us remove pride and act in Christ-like humilty.

Pastor Ryan teaches through John 11 as we learn about Jesus' statement "I am the Resurrection and the Life". What things in your life have seemed to die? How can the power of Christ, through His Spirit, raise what's died in your back to life? Let's go through this teaching together to find out how.
