Sermon Podcast for Cornerstone Community Church in Galax, Virginia

pWhat does a healthy church look like? Far too often, churches are characterized by conflict and controversy. That is why God has given us a structure for both leadership and accountability within the local church. Elders have a responsibility to shepherd the people that God has entrusted to their care, and members have a responsibility to submit to Godly leadership. A healthy church is characterized by unity, by compassion, and by humbleness. Based on 1 Peter 5 Sermon Notes are […]/p

pDo you believe that the end is near? How should Christians respond? Instead of panic, we need to pray, love, and serve. We need to stop judging others and start judging ourselves, and we need to stop serving ourselves and start serving others. This study of 1 Peter 4 will help prepare you in advance for the tough times that surely are ahead. Sermon Notes are available at bible.com/events/39294/p

pAfter encouraging his readers to endure persecution and remain Holy, Peter now turns his focus to Christ. In verse 18, he says, “Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.” Through his death he brings forgiveness of sin. Through our baptism, we identify with Christ as His follower, and through His […]/p

pGod makes it clear that he wants us to get along— and that doing so is foundational to Christian living. It is hard to be loving when you are suffering— hard to be unselfish when you are in pain. But the church is a community of believers where the divisions and hostilities of the world have been overcome. Based on 1 Peter 3:8-17 Sermon Notes are available at bible.com/events/31454/p

pMarriage doesn’t have to be a battle. Husbands and wives have struggled against each other since the curse in Genesis 3:16, but in today’s passage, we learn that relationships thrive when we focus on true beauty and true strength. For wives: true beauty is submitting to your husband, by living your life with purity, faith, and gentleness For husbands: true strength is honoring your wife, by treating her with understanding and love Based on 1 Peter 3:1-7 Sermon Notes are available […]/p

pMastering the Christian life is like mastering other things: it’s a matter of doing the basics again and again. The apostle Peter told us to “crave pure spiritual milk.” Peter wasn’t writing these words to new believers only; his letter was written to all kinds of Christians at every imaginable level of maturity. No matter how long you have been a believer, the only way to grow in your salvation—to become spiritual and master the art of obedience— is through pure spiritual milk. Sermon […]/p

pIf there are times when you don’t feel like being good, welcome to the club. We all have days when we do not live up to what we know we should do. Regardless of how we feel, being good makes sense because when you obey God you open the door to his blessings in your life; when you obey God you express gratitude to him for his love and mercy; and when you obey God you make yourself a better […]/p

pTransformation—the process of becoming holy—begins in your mind. In 1 Peter we are challenged to live holy lives, and Peter shows us that the process of holy living begins with the way we think. Once we win that battle, we will begin to see changes in the way we live and the things we do. Based on 1 Peter 1:13-16 Sermon Notes are available at bible.com/events/13968/p

pWhy should it matter to me whether or not Christ is dead or alive? Here are the words of one of Christ’s closest followers, Simon Peter. “Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven – and the future starts now!” 1 Peter 1:3-4 (MSG). This week we launch a series titled “In His Steps” going through the books of 1 2 Peter […]/p
