Cornerstone Church

Before we can take ground? We have to see the ground. We want God to open our eyes—to see our city the way He sees our city. The brokenness, yes—but also the potential, the people, the purpose. Our vision shouldn’t just be about our future as a church—it should be about the future of our city. So the question is: “Are we ready to see how God sees?”

For many of us the phrase “The Lord works in mysterious ways...” has become a default explanation for everything from the confusing to the tragic. It’s what we’re told when we don’t get the job, when a friend passes away, or when a relationship ends. In those moments, we need help and clarity—but…our God only works in obscurity? But what if that wasn’t true? What if God isn’t trying to be mysterious? What if He actually wants His children to know His voice, sense His direction, and walk confidently in His will? While God may work in many ways, He is not distant or cryptic. He speaks through His Word, His Spirit, His people—and He wants you to hear Him. Don’t settle for mystery when you can get clarity.

Are ghosts real? What about demons? Do we live in a world filled with spiritual forces beyond what we can see? In this message, we’ll tackle the supernatural and explore how the Bible teaches us to understand and respond to the unseen world—without fear.

Hell is a topic most people avoid. Why? Well, it’s obvious—because it feels too harsh, it’s too mysterious, and it’s way too terrifying. But Jesus didn’t avoid the subject. In fact, Jesus regularly warned us about Hell with compassion. Scripture shows us that it’s vital to know what Hell is, why it matters, and how God’s justice and mercy intersect in powerful ways.

Death is the Great Unknown—the thing we avoid thinking about, but cannot escape. “What happens when we die? Is it really the end? What’s it feel like to pass away?” All good questions…and honestly? We don’t get a ton of clear, specific answers. So what can we truly know about death—and most importantly—how can we lose fear of the Great Unknown?

Every generation has wondered if they're living in the end times. From Nostradmus to the Mayans—we’re obsessed with and terrified at the concept of the end of the world. But what does Jesus actually have to say about the end of the world? By studying His words we can see how we can live with peace and purpose no matter what the future has in store.

We may laugh at superstitions, but many of us keep rituals or habits…just in case. Whether it’s horoscopes, lucky numbers, or avoiding black cats—superstition creeps in when we feel out of control. But God offers something far better—a life rooted in Christ and not in fear. And it’s faith and confidence in Jesus that frees us from the need to control the Unknown.

We’ve all heard the phrase: “History is written by the winners.” But what happens when the Enemy tries to rewrite your story? Satan works to spin a version of your past that keeps you stuck in shame, guilt, and fear. He’s the Ultimate Revisionist—twisting truth, accusing relentlessly, and convincing us that our identity is forever defined by our worst chapters. But God sees your story differently. In Jesus, your past is redeemed, your identity is rewritten, and your future is safe. You’re not who you were. You’re who God says you are.

Jacob spent his life on the run—from people, from conflict, and from his own brokenness. But one night, alone and desperate, he wrestled with God—and walked away with a limp. It was in that weakness that he was renamed and reshaped. Did you know that your greatest leadership may not come from your strength—but from the place you’ve been wounded?

Paul had something in his life that he wanted gone—a thorn in the flesh. He pleaded with God to remove it, but God’s response was clear: “My power is made perfect in weakness.” What if we stopped resenting our weaknesses and started partnering with God in them? The very thing that you think disqualifies you may be what God reveals His power through.
