Cornerstone on the Go

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:

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...

Confessing our sins to one another brings spiritual benefits, including obedience to God's Word, the practice of humility, and the freedom from our past burdens. However, judgment often follows confession, creating barriers to vulnerability. Instead of judging others when they confess, we should extend the same grace and mercy God shows us. By prioritizing prayer, embracing silence with God, putting down our judgmental attitud...

Jesus's teaching on judgment in Matthew 7 isn't a prohibition against all discernment, but rather an instruction on how to judge righteously. We must first examine ourselves, addressing the 'logs' in our own eyes before helping others with their 'specks.' This self-examination fosters the humility necessary to approach others with love and a goal of restoration. Scripture calls believers to address sin...

Breaking free from the 'sin, hide, repeat' cycle requires honesty with God and others. Proverbs 28:13 reveals that covering our sins prevents prosperity, while confession leads to mercy. Like Adam and Eve in the Garden, we often hide our sins due to fear, shame, or pride, not realizing God already sees everything. When we harbor unconfessed sin, we give the enemy power over us. True freedom comes through specific confessi...

In this sermon, we will explore Matthew 6:25-34, focusing on Jesus' teaching about worry. He explains that worry, like materialism, can hinder our relationship with God by dividing our attention and distracting us from trusting Him. The sermon highlights three key points: the reality of worry in a fallen world, the uselessness of worry (as it subtracts from rather than adds to our lives), and how worry distracts us from focusi...

Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:19-24 that we should store treasures in heaven rather than on earth, where they're vulnerable to loss and decay. Our treasures reveal our heart's true desires. When materialism clouds our vision, our priorities become distorted, leading us to worship created things rather than the Creator. Jesus emphasizes we cannot serve both God and money—we must choose our master. As Christ became poor to mak...

Jesus teaches that in His upside-down kingdom, our worship practices should be motivated by pleasing God rather than impressing others. Examining charitable giving, prayer, and fasting in Matthew 6:1-18, Jesus challenges us to examine the heart attitudes behind these spiritual disciplines. When we perform religious acts to gain human recognition, we've already received our full reward. Instead, Jesus calls us to practice these...

Jesus offers a revolutionary approach to handling conflict in Matthew 5:38-42, challenging the misapplication of 'an eye for an eye' that had become a personal license for revenge. He teaches us to overcome evil with good rather than escalating conflicts through retaliation. This doesn't mean we should never resist evil or remain in abusive situations, but rather that we should break the cycle of vengeance in our per...
