The Cornerstone Corner

He is risen! He is risen indeed! 

On this Resurrection Sunday,  we jump with Pastor Matt into 1 Peter. On that morning, Jesus rose from the grave victoriously with death defeated, setting us free. The tomb is empty, we are changed forever... and this is only the beginning!

As Holy Week begins with Jesus triumphantly entering Jerusalem, sitting on a donkey. Today, Dawn Morehouse jumps into Matthew 21 and we look more deeply at how to respond to this grand entrance. Laying down our lives for Christ is a great response for the sacrifice Christ made for us. This means declaring His identity and surrendering to His plan.

Join us next week as we celebrate the Risen King on Easter Sunday.

Today, Josh Simpson reaches from 1 Corinthians 12 on the Kingdom Value that everyone gets to play. No matter who we are, we are all parts of the same body. Each or us has a role to fulfill. There are no benchwarmers in the Kingdom... God desires us all to be with Him and there’s a place for everybody to jump in and play!

The Kingdom of God is coming.... but if we look, we can find a glimpse of it already here! In this message, Pastor Matt teaches from Genesis 50 and we learn about our next Vineyard Distinctive: The Already and The Not Yet. Although this world will give us trouble, grasping the Already and the Not Yet is crucial to having on when those hard times come.

We can probably all think of somebody in society that might be considered an outsider or an outcast. We too were once outcasts but Jesus calls us to be with him and he calls us to love the outcast in our lives. Today, Erin Simpson teaches from Galatians 3 and we learn that we all have our common identity in Christ and there should be no division between “outcast” and “in-crowd”.

In this new series, we dive into the characteristics of the Vineyard Movement and what makes us who we are. Today, Pastor Matt Poorman jumps into Philippians 3 and we explore the idea of “coming as we are but not staying that way”. At Cornerstone Vineyard, there’a a place at the table for everyone, but once you’re here, the Power of Jesus Christ should compel us forward to become the best we can be. There’s room for all of us to stop and take a look at our spiritual condition and see what areas where we can grow closer to Jesus.

The season of lent is upon us. Although lent may be a very old tradition, it still has great potential to breathe life into our walk with Christ. The daily denial of self and the taking on the cross turns into great virtue and helps us to engage in God’s goodness. In this message, Pastor Matt Poorman and Betsy Schoenthaler teach from Philippians 3 and we catch a glimpse of what it means to deny yourself and experience the goodness of God.

Last week we learned that God wants to speak to us but how do we discern when it's actually God speaking to us? In this message, Pastor Matt Poorman shares some great points on discerning the voice of God. We also hear from a panel of great Cornerstone folks who share their experiences with listening for God. It might seem hard to discern God's voice from all the other noises in life, but with a few key principles and practice, hearing from God can be much easier. 

This message concludes our series: "The Voice: Tuning into Hearing God"

In the increasingly distracting world we live in, staying focused and being able to say no to distractions are essential to following Jesus and being everyday frontrunners. In today's message, Pastor Matt jumps into the tenacious focus exhibited by Nehemiah in Nehemiah Chapter 6. Sometimes, the many demands and distractions of life threaten to rock us, but if we have our focus zeroed in on God, great things can happen!
