Cornerstone exists because of Jesus. We'd love to show you how your story matters to him, and how his story matters for you.
The church isn't an organization or a building. The church is a family—God’s family, filled with redeemed sinners that are now his children because of Jesus.
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.
Sermon
"... to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."
–Ephesians 4:17-32

Humans want to change and grow, but we rarely have lasting success. Paul explains why change is so difficult, the mechanics of how humans can change, and where true change takes you. Jesus rescues us from sin and futility and empowers us to change deeply and daily to live more like him in our city.
1. Why would Paul say that life apart from God is "futile" and meaningless? Have you experienced the futility of trying to make something besides God the center of your life?
2. Paul says that change involves your entire self, not just your actions. Are there parts of your life that are still unaffected by God? What would "putting off," "being renewed," and "putting on" look like in those areas?
3. What would have to change in your daily life for you to pursue being renewed in the spirit of your mind?
