Cornerstone Church - Weekend Messages

God calls us to live with open hands and faithful hearts. In a world driven by fear and comparison, the Spirit leads us into a life of joyful, intentional generosity. Everything we have is a gift from God—and He invites us to steward it with purpose, faithfulness, and trust. Let’s align our hearts and habits with His Kingdom values, knowing that even small acts of faithful stewardship bring great delight to the Master!

Confession isn’t comfortable, but it’s where true healing begins. In Psalm 51, David doesn’t hide his failure—he brings it honestly before God, seeking not just forgiveness, but restoration. His words remind us that repentance isn’t about shame, but about returning to the heart of God. This week, we’re exploring what it means to repent with humility, experience cleansing from our sin, and find joy in God’s mercy.

Psalm 69 gives voice to the ache of being misunderstood, mistreated, and worn out by life. David’s cries for justice and healing echo our own struggles—and they ultimately point to Jesus, who endured suffering with steadfast love. In seasons where grief and hope collide, this psalm invites us to pray honestly and trust deeply—knowing that God will bring about justice in His time. God hears, even when the answers feel far away!

Psalm 126 is a song of gladness and longing—a reminder that God’s restoration often feels too good to be true, but it is deeply real. In seasons of dryness or doubt, we can remember His past faithfulness and dare to hope again! Whether we're reaping with joy or sowing in tears, God is still at work. Let’s reflect, rejoice, and ask Him to restore us—making us streams in the desert and giving us joy in the waiting!

Confession isn’t about shame—it’s about freedom. In Psalm 32, we’re reminded that joy comes not from our performance, but from forgiveness. This week’s sermon explores why we sometimes hide our failures, how God invites us into grace, and what it looks like to live with honest, humble hearts. Join us as we grow in confession, forgiveness, and the joy of being fully known and deeply loved.

In a world full of noise, we’re all shaped by what we take in. Join us as we slow down, reflect on Psalm 1, and explore how God’s Word can bring us clarity, stability, and fresh life. Together, we’ll discover what it means to delight in His truth and walk in His way—through every season.

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.
