The Magnificat - Luke 1:46-55

We begin our Advent series, this focusing on the songs in Luke. For many, the Christmas season is about music and for Luke, there are a series of songs, from Mary’s Magnifcat (magnify), Zechariah’s Benedictus (blessed), Angel’s Gloria (glory), Shepherd’s Praise, and Simeon’s Nunc Dimittis (now dismiss). This morning we begin with Mary’s song of praise (Luke 1:39-56), as she magnifies the Lord by confessing her need of His provision, power, and promises.

Honest Assessment - Nehemiah 2:11-18

Today we continue the sermon series in Nehemiah looking at 2:11-18. It takes a lot of courage to be honest about oneself. To truly look at the dirt and brokenness in one's heart... who really wants to to do that? Yet, because we are loved with Jesus' perfect love, we can honestly evaluate ourselves and find hope in Christ.

The Resurrection and Working Hard | 1 Corinthians 15:1-10

We welcome our new Interim Pastor, Jamie MacGregor to Cornerstone.  It's Labor Day weekend and in some ways this holiday reminds of heaven -- when we have a final rest from all our earthly labor. What are we to do, though, until that final day? 1 Corinthians 15 says we are to labor with all of God's strength until that day arrives.

Haggai asks the people of good some pretty hard questions in this section.  Does our sin have an effect on the good things we do?  What effect does our sin have on our holy acts?  What effect does our holy acts have on our evil ones?  We are to be holy, yes, but thankfully we serve a God who sent his Son, Jesus, to earth that our holiness would not be dependent upon our actions but His perfect life given to us.

The Greater Glory of Peace, Haggai 2:1-9

In this message, we continue the sermon series in the book of Haggai. This week in Haggai 2:1-9 we see that there are still some discouragements and fears in the people, but God reminds them of his promises and extends an even bigger promise that peace will come from the house of the Lord. The promises of the Lord fuel the work of the people to the glory of God and for the good of the people!
