Cornerstone Church Sermons

God demands that all the earth worship Him, and for many, that seems so selfish. Mockers have even asked if God has such a fragile self-esteem that if people don’t worship Him, He gets angry. Yet, think with me a moment on this statement: God has created us to be most full of life when our lives are most full of Him. To worship God is to affirm Him as our greatest priority. When we do that, we don’t worry as much, we don’t give in to temptation as much, and we don’t run after those things we think will make us happy, like fame, security, or beauty, to name a few. If you fall in love with someone, you want to tell people about it, you want to tell that person about it. When you have a great experience at a restaurant, you want others to go eat there, so you talk about it. That incredible vacation has to be told about. It is no different in our relationship with God. To worship Him is to tell Him and others how much we appreciate and love Him. How great He has proven Himself to be! So, how can we learn to do this together as a church? How can we be a church where God is exalted and truly worshiped? Come along with us as we learn to be a place where we can experience our God and return to Him our worship. A place where He is high and lifted up!

The most popular passage from the bible spoken at weddings actually has very little to do with marriage, and that is 1 Corinthians 13:4, “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast…” Of course, all these attributes of love will thrive in a marriage when they are in the hearts of husbands and wives, but the Apostle Paul taught us this passage to plant them deeply in the hearts of the redeemed. This is what a church can be! Yet he began with a warning: “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.” 1 Corinthians 13:1. Cornerstone, it is time to love, urgently! It is getting spiritually darker everywhere, even in the ‘Church’. Division, lawlessness, hatred, bigotry, authoritarianism…and do not be mistaken, it is all aimed at the people of God! Now, more than ever before in our lifetimes, we must speak truth and love, both inside the walls of our church and outside! We are going to need each other for the journey ahead, so join us in our summer series as we look at the ‘one anothers’ from the bible, each of which will help us ‘Love like Jesus’.
