Sunday Sermons
At Cornerstone, the sermons are primarily expository in nature. We spend most of our time stepping through a section or book of the Bible verse by verse, section by section, and occasionally we will preach on a theme. The elders strive to make each sermon a Christ centered, church building, Gospel proclaiming, truth driven, biblically grounded, proclamation for the purpose of God glorifying transformation.
[esvignore]John 18:12-26[/esvignore] – A sobering sermon that highlights the example Peter’s betrayal of Jesus. Peter’s three denials confront us with our own ability to fall into sin and shows us just the kind of people that Christ came to save. In this message, we look at the human heart and the incredible depths of sin it is capable of pursuing. We examine…
[esvignore]John 18:1-14 [/esvignore]- As Jesus begins his last hours before the crucifixion, His arrest teaches us many important lessons. Jesus went forward to confront His enemies – He was not caught by surprise. Instead, He went with resolve. He was in sovereign control at every moment and did nothing from a position of weakness. Though even His enemies drew back in fear…
We celebrate Father’s Day by going to the Word of God. This is a particularly good sermon for children, whether we are young or old. We begin in [esvignore]Deuteronomy 5[/esvignore], and then find wisdom in the many Proverbs that teach wisdom to children. You may download the scripture list as a PDF file below. Deuteronomy 5:16
[esvignore]John 17:20-26[/esvignore] – Our final look at the Lord’s prayer for His people. Be encouraged that the Lord’s desire for His bride’s unity has not failed, despite appearances. The persistence of the church testifies that Jesus’ bride is in fact a growing and maturing body. Join us as we investigate unity from the world’s perspective (one example given is the French Revolution’s…
[esvignore]John 17:6-19[/esvignore] – In the second of three section in our Lord’s high priestly prayer, Jesus intercedes for his disciples. We can draw significant encouragement from this prayer and discover that those who are in Christ are safely and firmly “kept”. This is the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints, in which we are preserved (or ‘kept’) by the power of…
[esvignore]John 17:1-5[/esvignore] – An introduction to Christ’s ‘high priestly prayer’ in which we introduce the three parts of our Lord’s petitions and investigate the first. We discover the significance of the role of the priest and how Jesus fulfills it from both the divine and mortal perspective. We also spend some time on the controversial doctrines of God’s sovereignty in salvation and…
[esvignore]John 16:25-33[/esvignore] – In this final sermon from the Lord’s ‘farewell address’, Jesus teaches His disciples some of the most important lessons for their upcoming trials. The disciples own words show their immaturity, yet the Good Shepherd’s rebuke is not delivered without encouraging last words. In this sermon, we focus on the pride of over-inflated religious knowledge and untested doctrinal bravado. We…
[esvignore]John 16:16-24[/esvignore] – For the third time in three chapters, Jesus make some profound statements about prayer. Once again, we hear Jesus telling His disciples, “whatever you ask” will be answered. What does He mean by this? What can we learn from these three sections on prayer? What kinds of prayers does God truly answer? What is our response to this? Hear…
[esvignore]John 15:18-16:4[/esvignore] – Christians will experience the hatred of the world, Jesus guarantees it. In this sermon we examine what that hatred from the world means in the life of a believer – it is a proof of our salvation and an encouragement to press on. We also investigate what the converse means – if the world loves us, and we love…
[esvignore]Matthew 26:36-46[/esvignore] – On Easter Sunday, Pastor Lee spends some time looking at the prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane where He prays for the Father to take the cup from Him. What is in that cup? What was God’s answer? How should we view this? Matthew 26:36-46
