Cornerstone Church Sermons

How often have you held a door for someone, and they breeze right through with not an ounce of acknowledgment?  Or, closer to home, how rare do the words, ‘Thank you’ come from the mouths of your children?  Ingratitude is prevalent all around us, and self-centeredness is on the rise.  Experts tell us that one cannot be found without the other.  But the roots of ingratitude (gratitude as well) lodge deeply in our hearts, and this is where the power of God is aimed, changing us from the inside out.  Christians can be and ought to be the most grateful people there are.  Grateful people stick out for all the right reasons.  Pretty soon, they will be the unicorns of our modern culture.  God is deeply transforming us to be grateful people who express it in thankfulness, and in the midst of our selfish culture, we will glow in the dark.  So come along with us on this journey and do not be surprised to discover that you are traveling in the opposite direction of most of those you encounter along the way.  Yet our gratefulness will be a fragrance that draws people to the beauty of Jesus!

Were you aware that Psalms 120-134 were sung by groups of Jewish worshipers on their way up to Jerusalem for the High Holy Days? In fact, your bible likely subtitles each of them ‘A Song of Ascents’. It is believed that Jewish worshipers would travel in groups, families and sometimes entire villages, singing these Psalms along the way of the Holy City. But even more interesting, these 15 songs span the entire Christian journey from salvation to glorification passing through the ups and downs of sanctification. They take us from the valley of repentance, to the heights of Christian joy. Step by step, we are urged onward and upward in these Songs of Ascents, learning endurance in the face of constant opposition. What we need is a guide and a friend to help us along the way. Both of them will be found in these fifteen Psalms. Come along as we climb the hill together, onward and upward to our eternal joy!
