Cornerstone exists because of Jesus. We are a people who have been transformed by the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, God has forgiven us and adopted us into his family. Now, we have a whole new life.
Through the gospel, God redeems us, forgives us, and adopts us into his family. The good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection makes each one of us a new creation and gives us a new identity: children of God. This is why we can never think of the church as an organization or a building. The church is actually a family—God’s family, filled with redeemed sinners that are now his children.
Through the gospel, God forgives us, adopts us into his family, and makes us his disciples. This means that the church is not just any family. We are a family formed by God—and sent out with a purpose.
The church is a family that ministers to one another, cares for one another, and builds one another up. Each member of the family is a child of God who is uniquely gifted to bless the family and to be a light in our city.
Just like a vine grows best with a good trellis, our church family grows best with good programs. Our programs and ministries are tailored to support the community and mission God has given us.
“‘Don’t be anxious about anything…’ (Phil 4:6). But, what does that mean?...How do we simply stop feeling anxious?”
“No matter the context, anxiety attacks steal your joy and your ability to function.”
How do we deal with worry and anxiety?
“He is Emmanuel, God with us. He is not overwhelmed when we are overwhelmed.”
“The trajectory of our thoughts have an effect not just on our mood, but on our physical brain and immaterial soul.”
“If consumerism is a false religion, then anxiety is a false prophet.”
“Lord, help me to practice this list in my mind and meditate on hope when I am tempted to spiral down the path of anxiety.”
"Like the wandering Israelites who had nothing when they awoke, but knew God would shower them with honey-flavored bread in a moment, I need to trust that He will provide."
"I realize that our Heavenly Father is like this, holding us as we're in the deep end. Sometimes he lets go of our arms, but he never swims away."
Stand firm in the grace of God—it's the only place to find rest.
