Trusting God in the here and now is easier said than done. That’s because God isn’t the only one that requires my present attention. Hectic schedules, mounting bills...how can I give God my time, talent, and treasure in the here and now - and still have anything left in the here and now? If I step out in audacious faith and give generously, will God see me through—not just in some distant future—but in the midst of my present sacrifices?

Read MoreMost fairy tales follow the same narrative—a princess locked in a tower, a dragon imprisoning her, and a brave hero coming to save the day. In those stories, the princess doesn’t need to do anything. Just sit back and wait. But what if there was no prince coming to the rescue? What if her freedom and future rested in her deciding to take action? In our lives, more often than not, there is no one else coming. It’s on each of us to take charge of ourselves and act, trusting that God will be with us as we fight for our future.
Read MoreWhen runners line up for a race, the first thing they do is find their mark. This mark, often a line drawn across the track, provides a starting point for the runners—and in the case of the 400m race—it’s also the finish line. As runners take their place at the line, they’re simultaneously standing at the start and finish of the race. Cornerstone is following suit, as we get on our mark and see how what God has for us in the future is attainable through our faith in the present.

Read MoreJesus tells us that “...in this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” We believe that is true and so we see every obstacle as an opportunity for God to show off. In faith, we are confident in our grave-robbing God—no matter the circumstances.
Read MoreWe all have preferences, and there is nothing wrong with that.
The issue is when preferences become our primary instead of people.
Just look at Jesus. He sacrificed his privilege and preference to pursue us.
We as a Church will do the same as we pursue people far from God.
Our culture is obsessed with consuming.
Consuming products, consuming content, and even consuming church.
But church is not meant to be “consumed.” It’s meant for Contribution. Fulfilling God’s purpose only comes from working on the field, not watching from the sidelines.
