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.
We will split our message from [esvignore]Matthew 5:27-30[/esvignore] into 2 sermons, this one entitled Sexual Sin – Part 1 and a second sermon to address some strategies for defeating lust in part 2. Our outline will be: The Purpose of the Law Troubled Hearts on Fire Sinfulness of Sin and the Love that Conquers The Sin Problem Marginalizing Salvation Sexual sin’s immediate death…
The message for tomorrow is entitled You have heard it said… and will cover the first exposition, murder. We will learn that we are all murderers when we even harbor anger in our heart. And we will learn how to root out that sin from the heart. We will cover [esvignore]Matthew 5:21-26[/esvignore]. Our outline is simple: How to Know the Law of God…
Our message is from [esvignore]Matthew 5:17-20[/esvignore] and is a very important and very divisive subject in the church. How do we understand the idea of fulfillment and the role of the law in the Christian’s life? What even IS the law? What is fulfillment? We will tackle this topic tomorrow, I hope you will be blessed. In the coming weeks we will…
Our message will be a topical message from [esvignore]Ephesians 4:1-16[/esvignore] and will focus on how our days reflect the days prior to the reformation in many ways, and how we must press forward in devotion to the Word of God alone, consistently, and reform our lives to it even more carefully than ever. Our public reading is short – it was Luther’s break-through passage,…
Our message comes from [esvignore]Matthew 5:13-15[/esvignore]. We will examine the concept of salt and light. Jesus has just taught us the essence of the regenerate man, now he teaches us our responsibilities. This is a message that can challenge us to be doers, and will certainly convict us if we are not. Our message will be divided into these sections: The world…
Our message is entitled Persecuted Christians and will come from [esvignore]Matthew 5:2-12[/esvignore]. We’ll focus on the last two verses. This is the last of the beatitudes, so Jesus gave us a double saying, and encourages us to press on when we come into conflict with the world. I pray we will be challenged and encouraged by the words of our Lord. The sermon will…
Our sermon continues from [esvignore]Matthew 5[/esvignore], we will arrive at verse [esvignore]5:9[/esvignore] and will cover the concept of being peacemakers. How does peacemaking fit into the beatitudes, how does it model Christ, and what is our responsibility as peacemakers? We’ll cover all of that in the following sermon segments: Intro What is Peace? Being Peacemakers Why does Jesus say Peacemakers are God’s…
This week’s message will be entitled “The Pure in Heart” and is taken from [esvignore]Matthew 5:8[/esvignore]. We return yet again to our study of the beatitudes with this very stirring proclamation that men may see God. What a truth to ponder! But we do not always have such undivided attention and a heart that truly believes, what is it that we can…
Our sermon this week comes from the fifth beatitude found in [esvignore]Matthew 5:7[/esvignore]. We will examine a lot of scripture this week as we enter “The Mercy Test.” This is a very convicting topic for me personally, and I pray it will be for you as well. Please pray that we would come with tender hearts to receive the Word of God…
Our sermon is entitled Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness and is the fourth beatitude, taken from [esvignore]Matthew 5:6[/esvignore]. This message has at its core several challenging questions about our priorities. It is the culmination of the previous three statements by Jesus, and we will find great exhortation here. Our outline will be: Blessed Righteousness Exhortation How? Public reading: [esvignore]Psalm 107:1-9[/esvignore]; Benediction: [esvignore]Matthew…
