    Feb 18 2025

    Send us a text

    Ever wondered if your childhood dreams of wealth have overshadowed the true blessings in your life? Join us as we explore the profound concept of spiritual generational wealth, inviting you to shift focus from material riches to eternal values that truly matter. In this thought-provoking episode, we reflect on our aspirations to be as wealthy as Uncle Scrooge from DuckTales and how these desires might detract from the spiritual fulfillment and joy that come from a deeper relationship with God. As we grow, the conversation naturally progresses towards the legacy we leave behind—not just in terms of material inheritance but also the spiritual heritage that shapes future generations.

    We are thrilled to welcome guest artist Aaron, who shares the inspiration behind his painting based on the parable of the talents from Matthew. Through his artwork and personal journey as a father and a Christian, Aaron highlights the vital elements of faith and family, reminding us of the importance of nurturing and teaching. Our discussion delves into the steadfast faith of biblical figures like Joshua, emphasizing the power of sacrificial love and the true value bestowed upon us by God, far beyond material possessions. Together, we ponder over the joy of entering into the master’s presence and the transformative power of God’s word in our lives.

    This episode also brings to light personal stories of faith and financial struggles during missionary work in France, demonstrating how the presence of God is the ultimate form of wealth. By comparing financial investments to spiritual growth, we encourage a mindset shift towards evaluating our spiritual 'return on investment' and fostering a Christ-like character for future generations. As we break cycles of brokenness and establish a legacy of faith, the sacrifices and commitments we make today can profoundly impact our children and grandchildren. Through prioritizing our relationship with God and being faithful stewards of His gifts, we lay the groundwork for a future filled with true fulfillment and spiritual prosperity.

    Feb 10 2025

    Send us a text

    Preparation is key, both on the field and in life. We dive into the strategies that lead to success, emphasizing the importance of nurturing our character and attitudes through daily practices. Just as athletes prepare for physical challenges, we examine how spiritual readiness can empower us to face life's adversities. Highlighting the value of consistent preparation, we stress that our potential to overcome challenges can be hindered if we only show up for the big moments without having laid the groundwork.

    Embracing vulnerability and sacrifice lies at the heart of genuine relationships and community. Reflecting on biblical teachings, we discuss how embodying love and service in our interactions can transform both our personal and spiritual lives. We invite you to consider the power of faith in fostering forgiveness and generosity, and the significance of joining life groups to grow alongside others. As we conclude, we celebrate the strength of community and extend a heartfelt invitation to commit to a life that embodies the love and grace we find through faith.

    Send us a text

    Join us as we uncover the nuanced journey of family ties, from sibling camaraderie to enmity, and how a shared adversary can unite even the most divided hearts. By recognizing the true battle is not against each other but against external discord, we explore tools like forgiveness and unity to fortify our familial bonds.

    Inspired by Joshua 24:15, this sermon highlights the spiritual warfare at play in our homes. We dive deep into the conscious decision to serve the Lord and the power it brings to our lives. We journey through the importance of spiritual intentionality and perseverance. Discover how prayer, fasting, and steadfast faith not only arm us for the righteous fight but also nurture a personal transformation that aligns our lives with divine purpose.

    As stewards of our families and communities, we reflect on how embodying Christ-like principles can transform our relationships and influence. From speaking blessings over our children to nurturing spiritual growth, this episode is a heartfelt invitation to shift from conflict to unity. Through stories of love that endures despite challenges, we echo the promise of a life enriched by faith, urging listeners to find freedom and purpose in the symbol of the cross.

  • Deep: The Mind of Christ
    Jan 27 2025

    Send us a text

    Reflect on the contrast between earthly power and divine humility as we ponder human tendencies toward pride and self-absorption. The episode challenges us to transform our mindset and perception through baptism and immersion in Christ's teachings, reshaping how we see ourselves and others. With vivid imagery from the famous hall of mirrors, we confront the distorted self-perception that often accompanies power and wealth.

    The story of baptism as a symbol of repentance and spiritual renewal takes center stage, following Jesus Christ's example as we explore themes of obedience and rebirth. With the triune God present at Jesus' baptism, we recognize the call to embrace our identity as co-heirs with Christ, sharing in His heritage and reign. Paralleling faith with learning a language, we're encouraged to go beyond surface understanding to true fluency in God's love. Through personal stories, we see how deepening our faith impacts not only our lives but also our community, inviting us to embrace the transformative power of trusting in Jesus.

  • Deep: How Deep with God will you go?
    Jan 22 2025

    Send us a text

    Imagine standing on the edge of a cliff, heart pounding as you face a fear that has haunted you for years. That's precisely what one contestant experienced on "The Amazing Race," and it serves as a powerful metaphor for the personal challenges we all face on our spiritual journeys. We dive into this thrilling moment to explore how overcoming fear can parallel the spiritual growth we strive for, especially during Cornerstone Church's 21 days of prayer and fasting. Prepare to be inspired to reflect on the choices you make in your spiritual life, as we set our sights on a transformative 2025.

    Throughout our discussion, we shine a light on the varying levels of commitment people have in their faith, comparing it to a day at the beach. Just as many dip their toes in the water without diving in, so too do some approach their relationship with Jesus. Drawing from the story of Simon Peter, we witness how distractions and the busyness of life can hinder our spiritual depth. The quote, "If the enemy cannot get you to sin, he will just keep you busy," serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of intentionality, encouraging us to say no to diversions that pull us away from our spiritual path.

    As we reflect on Simon Peter's journey from doubt to deep faith, the call to go "all in" becomes clear. By stepping beyond our comfort zones, we open ourselves to the abundance and blessings that faith promises. This episode is an invitation to embrace a deeper connection with God, moving from mere ankle-deep experiences to fully immersing ourselves in the spiritual richness He offers. Concluding with a heartfelt blessing and prayer, we hope you'll feel empowered to live out love in your community, experiencing a week filled with grace and peace.

    Send us a text

    Ever felt the weight of your struggles but couldn't quite find the strength to carry on? We promise you'll discover how to transform such moments into opportunities for profound spiritual growth. Join us as we explore the parallels between the mysteries of the ocean and our faith, reminding ourselves that God's presence is unwavering, and our journey towards a meaningful connection with Him is an adventure worth pursuing.

    We're diving deeper into the practices of prayer and fasting, not as rituals to endure, but as transformative tools that prioritize spiritual nourishment over physical desires. Our 21-day journey invites you to embrace heartfelt communication with God, speaking faith over doubt, and understanding fasting as a personal journey rather than a public display. Through shared stories and a sprinkle of humor, we reflect on childhood memories of fasting and offer a prayer guide to support your daily reflections.

    As we draw closer to God, the essence of soul care and stewardship emerges as integral to our spiritual growth. Aligning our time, talents, and resources with God's purpose fosters miraculous changes, not only within us but also in our communities. Together, we conclude with a heartfelt prayer of blessing, reaffirming our commitment to the Cornerstone family and encouraging each other to spread this spirit of love and connection into the world.

    Discover the profound impact of faith and forgiveness in these challenging times, as we explore the incredible work of Cornerstone Christian Center and their global outreach. Pastor Bridget Metcalf and her husband Dana are making waves in Bangkok, Thailand, reaching out to a nation where believers are scarce. Through heartwarming initiatives like the Sealed Kids Club and efforts to combat human trafficking, they shine a beacon of hope in spiritually dark places. We'll also celebrate the establishment of new church campuses in Thailand and Nepal and share their inspiring vision for providing educational opportunities for refugee children.

    Forgiveness is more than a feeling; it's a liberating path to aligning closer with God's heart. Through engaging stories, biblical parables, and transformative personal experiences, we tackle the burdens of grudges and anger. Learn from a creative classroom activity about the weight of unforgiveness and explore the parable of the unforgiving servant, illustrating how grudges can burden our spiritual journey. This thought-provoking discussion invites you to embrace limitless forgiveness as a testament to your faith, freeing yourself from the bonds of bitterness.

    As we gear up for an exciting year ahead, join us in a transformative 21-day journey of prayer and fasting. It's an opportunity to renew your life through faith, forgiveness, and community, and to experience the empowering love of the Lord. Whether you're seeking a new relationship with Jesus or looking to deepen your spiritual journey, we extend a heartfelt blessing and remind you that you are deeply loved here at Cornerstone Christian Center. Embrace this chance for spiritual growth, and let it guide you toward a year of freedom, deliverance, and fulfilled dreams.
