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.
“Even Christians—saved by the abounding, steadfast love of God from the plight of our own sinful hearts—fall into the trap of comparison and despair.”
“The path to joy starts with seeing what the world is really like.”
“Lord, find the creases in my soul and fill them, seek me where I hide and strip away my false maturity and my excuses.”
“No matter the context, anxiety attacks steal your joy and your ability to function.”
“At a certain point, I could no longer deny the inconvenient fact that something was wrong with me.”
How does God want us to use these tools for our good and his glory?
“Heart work isn’t a system you apply, it’s a relationship you live.”
“Like the best loving relationships, a vibrant walk with God involves deep listening, open speaking, and deliberate change.”
In this women’s seminar, we explored the powerful Biblical principle of taking every thought captive to obey Christ.
“Without clarity on the basics of the Christian life—the things that all Christians are called to do—you will either be paralyzed with insecurity (‘Am I doing enough?’), weighed down with discouragement (‘I’m not doing enough’), or confused and apathetic (‘Who knows if I’m doing enough?’).”
