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 1:1-18[/esvignore] – John’s Gospel is unique among the four records of Jesus’ earthly work and ministry. In this introduction to the series, we examine five categories in which John differs from the synoptic writers: John’s unique characteristics, the Gospel’s unique theme, John’s unique perspective, his use of selective details, and his unique purpose. John 1:1-18
[esvignore]Acts 6:1-7 – Pastor Brown discusses the call to the office of Deacon and how this is an important key for the church to make disciples and fulfill the task of the Great Commission.[/esvignore] Acts 6:1-7
[esvignore]1 Peter 4:12-19[/esvignore] – Peter once again encourages suffering saints to persevere in well doing while suffering, even fiery trials, to expect such testing because it begins with God’s people. Peter is beginning to close out his epistle and is emphasizing again the thoughts of his opening words, but driving it home under the urgency of the impending “end of all things”.…
[esvignore]1 Peter 5:1-4 – When one thinks of the biblical qualifications for elders, they usually go to 1 Timothy 3, or Titus 1. Those are indeed important passages on the subject. However, Peter, who spent a lot of time learning from Jesus about being a good shepherd, also tells us much on this topic in the last chapter of his first epistle.…
[esvignore]1 Peter 4:7-11[/esvignore] – Because “the end of all things is at hand”, we are to be self controlled and sober minded, hospitable, and servant hearted. So the first question we need to address is – What is this end of all things? Second, we should get a sense of why it should motivate us to do anything. We will hope to…
[esvignore]1 Peter 4:1-6[/esvignore] – As Peter calls his readers to be different in their thinking and different in their living from the world in which they live, so also are we to be different. Pastor Lee highlights the antithesis of Peter’s instructions and applies it to our lives today. 1 Peter 4:1-6
[esvignore]1 Peter 3:18-22[/esvignore] – Peter encourages his readers to be patient during the trials pressing in on them. He gives two reasons, Jesus’ suffering as a model for patience, and the hope of sure deliverance in the Ark of Christ. This passage is one of the most difficult verses in all of the new testament, many errors arise from misunderstanding this text.…
[esvignore]1 Peter 3:8-12[/esvignore] – Peter gives characteristics of a healthy church that we are to all receive and obey. These are not merely all we are to possess, but Peter singles these out as chief. Indeed if you compiled a list of all the character traits of the church we would find that all of them nicely fall under these five. We…
[esvignore]1 Peter 3:7[/esvignore] – Pastor Lee discusses specific instructions to husbands which are given to help them testify to the power of the Gospel to the world around them. 1 Peter 3:7
[esvignore]1 Peter 3:1-6[/esvignore] – Peter speaks to wives to be subject to their husbands as an expression of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which takes a mighty woman of strength and faith. Contrary to the world’s ways of feminism and women who are bawdy and base, Peter’s words are a call to dignified womanhood. 1 Peter 3:1-6
