Sunday Sermons

This isn't really a sermon exactly. It's more of a talk. But we are going to look at a lot of Scriptures to get an overview of what the Bible has to say about why it is important in order to encourage and motivate us about the significance of reading, studying, and listening to the Bible. Important Passages: These are some of the Scriptures we will be looking at throughout this message. • Jeremiah 10:12; Romans 11:36; Psalm 24;1 • Acts 17:24,25; 1 Timothy 1:17; Genesis 1,2,3; Hebrews 1:1-2 • Psalm 29; Psalm 147:18; Isaiah 55:10-11; 2 Corinthians 4:6 • Galatians 1:8; Exodus 33:19 • Exodus 4:14-16; Jeremiah 1:6-9; Jeremiah 29:4; Jeremiah 36; John 14:9; John 12:49,50; John 17:8-20;Luke 10:16; John 16:12-15

I want to encourage and challenge and excite you about the mission God’s given us as a church by helping you understand God’s plan for Israel.

A sermon is much more than an outline, but perhaps this outline will help you follow the sermon. Big picture there are going to be two parts to this message: 1. A warning about the danger of false religion and deceiving yourself (1-24) 2. An explanation of the nature of true discipleship (25-35) But I really want you to hear this message as a direct challenge to consider your relationship with Jesus. ● Are you fanatically, devoted and committed to Jesus above everything else? ● You need to think about that because He was hated and crucified. ● And if you are pretending to be his follower without being willing to actually follow Him, then what good is your religious activity?

It’s been twenty five years, Cornerstone! So we are going to take a minute and think about the past, the present and the future. 1. What are we thankful for? 2. What are we asking God for? 3. Why are we confident? I want us look at Paul’s prayer for the Ephesian church so that we will have a better understanding of the significance of the church in God’s plan, what is most exciting about what God’s doing in and through the church, what should be important to us as a church, and what we need most right now as a church.

We are going to look at Luke chapter 13:31-35 today and talk about unbelief. There's a lot of unbelief all around us. It can feel a little overwhelming. How should we respond? In this passage, Luke shows us how Jesus responds to Israel’s rejection of Him and looking at his response can teach us some very important things we need to understand as we see people rejecting Jesus. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NNYt4PIVdO441IKs_uxtj8z2K0hL8gX4E2873AwdUI8/edit?usp=sharing
