Listening to this message qualifies as attending "NEXT–Welcome to Cornerstone Community Church" and prequalifies you for membership at Cornerstone for the 2022-2023 ministry season. // Get clarity about what it means to participate in the life of our church, and how God wants to include you in what he's doing in the world today.

God's plan to finish his work is to include us in his work. We too often disqualify others from being involved in God's plans. Sometimes we even rule ourselves out. But Jesus is always including the most unlikely of people to do his most important work.

Ever wonder if your story is over before its time? When dreams are delayed or die, or when things don't go according to plan, it's natural to wonder if God is still at work in your life. But the Scriptures we'll look at in this message are full of God's unfinished business for his people, assuring us that we're not done yet. Discover what's next on God's agenda for you and our church family in part two of Unfinished Business.

You might think it's too late, the moment has past, or you've blown it too big, but God just may not be done with you yet. "Unfinished Business" is a study in the New Testament letter to Titus. Get encouragement. Find hope. God's not done yet!

Since things are not as they should be, and sometimes it can feel like we're facing opposition on every side, how can we find hope and truly make things better? If we fight life's battles in the wrong way or on the wrong battlefield we'll lose every time. But if we understand that a spiritual battle is raging, we'll acquire the spiritual weapons we need to prevail. Help is available, and a new future is possible, if you know where to turn.

If we're going to accomplish our mission, the story of Jesus has to be told. But most people find it hard to find their voice when it comes to matters of faith. In Psalm 145 we see the process that leads to unleashing our tongues and get great encouragement for our lives too!

What does God want for me, and how do I get on the path to where he wants to lead me? Often religious practice focuses on what God wants from me: do this; don't do that! But have you ever wondered what God wants for you? In this famous psalm we'll see God's hopes for us and the starting point to the path he has for us.

What makes for a great church? It might not be the things you are thinking about when you start shopping for a church. See how Scripture defines a great church and see how it lines up with your experience.

Need a turnaround? In Psalm 40, the psalmist celebrates the drastic changes in direction the Lord has effected in the past; and uses that track record as the foundation for a prayer for a change needed desperately right now. Is there someone or somewhere in your life that needs a reversal, a u-turn, or a turn of the tables, and no amount of talking or toiling seems to move the needle? The Lord can turn things around when you can't. Get hope and find your footing in this episode of Permission to Be Real.

No one likes to fail, but everyone enlists in the fail army at some point. The question is not if but when. So when we face failure, how do we overcome it (and avoid it when possible)? In this dive into one of the historical psalms we'll find a failure recovery system you can implement today.
