Cornerstone on the Go

We all face battles with forces that seem beyond our control - addiction, unforgiveness, broken relationships, or destructive patterns. In Matthew 8:28-34, Jesus encounters two demon-possessed men living in complete hopelessness and isolation. When the demons met Jesus, they immediately recognized His authority and were forced to bow before Him, demonstrating that nothing can stand against our King. God has always been a deliverer ...

In the Roman Empire, one phrase could cost you your life: “Jesus is Lord.”

Everywhere you turned, citizens were expected to declare, “Caesar is Lord.” His name gleamed on coins, incense burned before his statues, and his image filled the streets as Savior and Son of God. But in a quiet courtyard in Asia Minor, a small group of believers dared to whisper a dangerous confession — one that would shake empires and outlast every Caesar: ...

Life inevitably brings storms - health crises, financial hardships, relationship struggles, and overwhelming anxiety. The story of Jesus calming the storm in Matthew 8 reveals profound truths about finding peace amid chaos. When the disciples faced a fierce storm on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus demonstrated His authority over both natural forces and spiritual powers by speaking peace to the raging waters. Their amazement revealed a da...

Jesus calls us to wholehearted discipleship, not half-hearted commitment. Through Matthew 8:18-22, we see two men who approached Jesus with seemingly good intentions but revealed misplaced priorities. The scribe valued comfort and prestige more than following Christ, while another disciple prioritized family obligations over obedience. Jesus, the King of kings who gave up everything for us, deserves our complete allegiance. True di...

Jesus demonstrated His divine authority through miraculous healings, yet we still face the reality that He doesn't always heal everyone today. Through the story of a Roman centurion's faith, Peter's mother-in-law's restoration, and an evening of mass healings, we learn that Jesus has supreme power over sickness and disease. The centurion's humility, compassion, understanding, and faith amazed Jesus and prov...

God's blessings in our lives aren't meant to end with us. From Abraham's promise in Genesis 12:3 to the Great Commission, God has always intended to bless His people so they can become a blessing to others. Our hearts can misalign with God's purposes when we focus on making our own name great, pursuing our own desires, or seeking our own glory instead of His mission. When we align with God's heart for the n...

In Matthew 8, Jesus demonstrates His Messianic identity by healing a leper, illustrating profound spiritual truths about our condition and salvation. The leper's approach teaches us to come to Jesus alone, humbly, and just as we are in our brokenness. Jesus' willingness to touch the untouchable reveals His compassion and power to cleanse completely. This miracle demonstrates that Jesus has authority over sin and sickness,...

We often hear the word “miracle” tossed around lightly to describe something unlikely or surprising.  But if everything unusual is a “miracle,” then nothing is. The Bible has a higher and holier view of miracles: they are not lucky breaks, emotional surprises, or unexpected wins. But if a miracle isn't any of these things, what are they? I'm glad you asked.

This episode explores the following questions:

1. What is a miracl...

The Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20 represents Jesus' final instructions to make disciples of all nations. True discipleship involves loving God, growing in Christlikeness, serving others, and sharing the gospel. To fulfill this mission, believers must be available by creating margin in their schedules, worshipful in lifestyle, submissive to Christ's authority, obedient to His commands, and dependent on His presence....

Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount with a powerful parable about two builders - one who built on rock and one who built on sand. While both heard Jesus' teachings and faced the same storms, only the house with a solid foundation remained standing. This illustrates the critical difference between merely knowing God's Word and actually applying it in our lives. Many today build their lives on unstable foundations like ...

Many who call Jesus 'Lord' will hear 'I never knew you' on Judgment Day. Religious words and impressive spiritual works aren't enough—what matters is a genuine relationship with Christ. Are you building your eternal security on something that won't withstand God's judgment? The most important question isn't whether you know about Jesus, but whether Jesus truly knows you. #FaithCheck #EternalS...

Jesus warns us about false prophets who appear harmless but are actually dangerous deceivers. In Matthew 7:15-20, He teaches that we can identify these false teachers by examining their fruit - their character, beliefs, and the disciples they produce. In our digital age, we need practical tools to evaluate the countless spiritual messages we encounter. The SIFT method (Stop, Investigate the source, Find the sources, Turn) provides ...

Jesus presents us with a critical choice between two gates and two paths in Matthew 7:13-14. The narrow gate represents Jesus himself and leads to a difficult path requiring individual commitment, humility, and intentional choice. This path involves loving God supremely, obeying His commands, and living counter-culturally. In contrast, the broad path offers self-determination and immediate gratification but leads to destruction. Wh...
