Sermon Podcast for Cornerstone Community Church in Galax, Virginia

Thanks for joining us today at Cornerstone!  We use that phrase at times “That’s just the hand that I was dealt” but what does that really mean? When it’s used in the right context, it’s the truth; there are some situations in life that we can’t control. So when confronted with a hand that you’ve been dealt that you don’t understand, what do you do? Today, Eugene shares with us how God can deal you a new set of cards […]

Are you living in the hope of Easter? Too many people are consumed with worry and anxiety about what tomorrow might hold. This fear can be paralyzing. As Christians, we believe that our loving heavenly Father is always looking out for us.

The post Love Reigns Over Our Future appeared first on Cornerstone Community Church.

Thanks for joining us today at Cornerstone! God’s great mercy became a transforming reality through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This mercy is a result of God’s love for us, and this love invites us to live differently in the present. We are to be living sacrifices that no longer conform to the patterns of the world. The world around us is deceptive, selfish, angry, and foolish. These cannot be the patterns we live by today. Rather, […]

Last week, on Easter Sunday, we began a new series titled Love Reigns.

The post Love Reigns Over Our Past appeared first on Cornerstone Community Church.

As Jesus was being crucified, the soldiers mocked him by placing a crown of thorns on his head and placing a sign over his head that read “King of the Jews.” They did not see him as the true King who rules and reigns.

It was Jesus’ love for us that held him on the cross. […]

We are continuing our series called Marked – Called by the Savior. How many times do we make excuses that keep us from following God’s call on our life?
