Cornerstone Church Sermons

God’s glory, in part, rests on how well we love each other, how together we are. So too does the power of our witness. Isn’t this what Jesus meant when He prayed with His disciples (and us!) just hours before He was crucified: “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.” John 17:20-23. ‘Together’ is something the church has to intentionally strive for in the grace the Lord provides us. It does not come naturally, and the moment we lose sight of that, the beginnings of division will slowly come in. We invite you on the journey with us, as we learn how the early church lived ‘together’ in a fractured, divided world, for the glory of God!

An encouragement to the congregation as we gear up for the New Year.

What is it about those mysterious ‘Wise men’ that has captured the world in song and story? What is the real story? And why did they offer the gifts they did to the young Savior of the world? As we approach the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, we’ll look more closely at the wise men, and their worship, and discover the good news of the gospel contained in the gifts they gave. Come celebrate this season with us as once again, the beauty and wonder of the Christmas message finds a fresh power to strengthen our faith and increase our worship.
