The Power of the Word - Nehemiah 8:1-8

In this message, we continue the sermon series in Nehemiah looking at 8:1-8. Nehemiah has seen the wall completed, the city being rebuilt, but there is more to his task. The task was not merely external, but the goal has always been to the end of transformation. God transforms us through the preached Word, the good words of God given to the people of God for our good. The Word of God is the power that builds the church. Is it our joy, love, and delight?

The Priority of Mercy - Nehemiah 5:1-13

We continue the sermon series in Nehemiah looking at 5:1-13. In Nehemiah, the rebuilding of the wall seems to be going well, but then an internal conflict arises. The people are failing to take care of their own. They are failing to rebuild their city with a foundation of mercy. We will see how mercy is a foundation to our church and we will be challenged that as Jesus shows us mercy, we now are to show mercy to others.

   Today, we come to the conclusion of Stephen’s message to the leaders in Israel. His call to repent is met with fierce anger and a hail of stones. In Acts 7:51-60 we are given a glimpse, with Stephen, to see the risen and ascended Christ who is our judge, intercessor and advocate.

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!
