Cornerstone Church - Weekend Messages

Spiritual gifts can be powerful, beautiful, and sometimes...a little uncomfortable. Whether it’s healing, tongues, or prophecy, our past experiences often shape how open we are to these expressions. But God gives us these gifts out of love—to build up the church and draw us closer to Him. This week, we’re leaning in with curiosity, honesty, and a desire to see His Spirit move in healthy, life-giving ways!

Becoming the person God created us to be doesn’t happen by willpower—it happens by walking with the Spirit. As we learn to listen, follow, and stay in step with Him, He produces lasting fruit in our lives. This journey involves recognizing the daily battle within us and choosing the Spirit’s way over our own. Let’s lean into His leading and trust Him as He shapes us to look more like Jesus.

What does it truly mean to be filled with the Spirit, and how can that become a reality in our daily lives? While the Bible has a lot to say about this topic, it’s about more than just doctrine—it's an invitation to daily encounters.

Together, let’s discover what it looks like to seek a deeper experience and expression of the Holy Spirit through asking, confessing, repenting, and yielding to His work!

As we wrap up our Hosea series on Easter, we discover how this Old Testament book points to our risen Savior! Hosea paints a picture of hope for a people on the brink of destruction due to their sins - a hope that ultimately finds its fulfillment in Jesus, the Messiah. Despite our failings, God desires for us to return to Him.

Let’s dive into Hosea 14 together and celebrate the hope we find in Christ!

This week, as we study the book of Hosea, we will examine how sin can lead us much farther than we ever intended to go. We are challenged to reflect on the areas of our lives where we may be tempted to rely on our own abilities, which ultimately lead us away from God.

This week, as we study the book of Hosea, we will explore how God feels about us in our moments of sin. While we might expect Him to look at us with disappointment and anger, we find that He views His children through the lens of His spotless Son, who took all of our sins upon Himself.

Join us this week in our study of Hosea as Pastor Nick Volkening preaches a text that will bring us face-to-face with our pride.

This week in our study of Hosea, we see a beautiful depiction of the Lord. While He is just, He is also faithful and good. As the Lord disciplines us, we understand that it is ultimately for our benefit and our journey back to Him. We learn that true repentance requires not just our actions, but also a sincere change of heart.

This week in our study of Hosea, we are confronted with the difficult truth about God's wrath towards sin. We observe how Israel tried to cling to their sins while still expecting God's approval and blessings in their lives. God is completely just, which means that sin must be punished—either the sinner will bear the consequences, or for believers, those consequences were placed on the sinless Son of God, Jesus.

This week in our study of Hosea, we examine that though the Lord is rich in mercy, He had disapproval of Israel due to their ongoing rebellion against Him. We are encouraged to reflect on challenging questions, such as, “What sins have we excused because we believe they aren’t hurting anyone?”

This week in our Hosea series, we gain insight into the heart of our Father. His correction and removal of sin in our lives are not meant for our destruction; rather, they are ultimately aimed at bringing His people back to Him!

This week in Hosea, amidst the correction and justice that the Lord has for a rebellious people, we also see the astonishing grace and mercy of our Father!

This week in our Hosea series, we will take a closer look at Hosea's wife, Gomer, and the choices she made in her pursuit of comfort and security. Although Gomer believed that her provision of basic needs came from the men she was involved with, we can see that it was the Lord who had been providing for her from the beginning.

This week in Hosea, we meet the children of Gomer and learn what each of their names signifies. Join us as we take a closer look at the heart of the Lord, who though He is immensely rich in grace and mercy, is also grieved by the sins of His people.

Pastor Nathan concluded our series on Titus by breaking down chapter 3 and guiding us through Paul's challenging yet beautiful ending of this letter. It is a profound joy to be reminded of the grace of God, which is given to us richly and freely, motivating us to stay aligned with His word!
