Summer Mixtape: A Playlist of the Psalms

The Early Church regularly used the Book of Psalms as an unending source of insight for the Christian life—to inspire faith, to praise God, and to encourage one another. This summer, we’re going to do the same thing at Cornerstone. We’re making a playlist of some of the Psalms greatest hits, compiling a mixtape that we believe will help inspire you and motivate you during the dog days of summer.

Thanksgiving In July

We may be in the middle of summer, but it’s never too early to start celebrating Thanksgiving! And no, we’re not talking about turkey, pumpkin pie, and football. We’re talking about cultivating an attitude of gratefulness. Thanksgiving shouldn’t stem from a date on the calendar, but on a realization of all that God has done.

Olly Olly Oxen Free

Where do you run when you need safety? Who do you go when you need refuge? When the hard times come, we all go to somewhere or to something. But what if we started going to Someone? How would our life change—especially the challenging moments—if God truly became our source of refuge?

Better Than Bitcoin

Have you ever made a bad investment? Put your trust and faith in something that just didn’t pan now? Of course you have…we all have. A career, a relationship—we invest our time, talent, and treasure…and then the bottom falls out. But the good news is that here is an investment we can make that will never give a bad return. And we can start today.

A Quiet Place & A Quiet Pace

Scripture says, “Truly my soul finds rest in God.” It’s a beautiful concept in theory—to rest in God—but in reality? It sounds so abstract. What does it actually look like to find rest in God? Can I even afford to rest in today’s fast-paced culture? The answers to these questions point us to the truth that there’s more to it than just finding a quiet resting place in God, but learning a quiet resting pace from God.

July 30 & 31

Hope Because He Hears

We all face struggles, challenges, and opposition in life. And even with a good support system in place full of family and friends, it can still feel like we face these things alone. But what confidence we can take in the fact that our God isn’t a passive bystander in our life, but an active force who hears our prayers and petitions and makes all things work together for our good.
