Nov 8, 2026 "The Bread Of Life" John 6:22-71
When life feels loud, and the storm won’t let up, it’s easy to reach for anything that promises relief. But what if what we need most isn’t just provision from God, but God himself? In this sermon, we’re drawn into Jesus’ words, “I am the bread of life,” and invited to see how often we settle for what he gives instead of trusting who he is. This sermon is a tender and honest reminder that Jesus meets us in our hunger, our questions, and even our disappointments not with empty promises, but with himself. As you listen, let it...
Nov 1, 2026 "More Than Enough" John 6:1-21
When life feels empty or uncertain, we all go looking for something that will hold us. In this sermon, we’re invited to see Jesus as the One who provides more than enough of the bread of life for hungry hearts, the steady presence in the middle of the storm, and the Saviour who meets us at the table with grace. As this sermon unfolds, you’ll hear how God’s provision isn’t just about meeting a need for the moment, but about calling us to trust him more deeply. As the focus turns toward communion, a beautiful reminder awaits...
Oct 25, 2026 "Do You Want To Be Made Well?" John 5:1-30
Grace can feel like a word we sing about until the moment we realize we desperately need it. In this sermon, here at Cornerstone Church, we’re stepping into the beauty of amazing grace through worship, testimony, and baptism. You’ll hear the story of a life being changed by Jesus, not by self-improvement, but by surrender, healing, and new life. And alongside that story is a simple but searching question from Jesus: Do you really want to be made well? As you listen, there’s an invitation for all of us to remember what Christ has done, reflect on our ow...
Oct 11, 2026 "The Gospel Has No Boundaries" John 4:1-42
When gratitude runs out of words, worship still has a voice. This sermon invites us into that simple, powerful response: bringing Jesus our hallelujah, even when it feels like we don’t have much else to offer. As the message unfolds through Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, we’re reminded that his living water is for everyone and that real worship isn’t about comfort or location, but about spirit and truth. You’ll hear a timely challenge to consider where God may be calling you beyond your comfort zone, and how his grace meets people in the most u...
Oct 4, 2026 "More Than Knowing" John 2:23-3:21
What if knowing all the right things about Jesus still isn’t the same as truly following him? In this message from Cornerstone Church, we step into Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus in John 3 and hear the invitation at the heart of the gospel: not just to learn about Christ, but to be made new by him. Pastor Michael helps us see the difference between religious knowledge and real transformation, and why John 3:16 is even more powerful in context. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, wondered what it means to be born again, or needed the reminder that God’s love doe...
Sept 27, 2026 "Calling the First Disciples" John 1:35-51
What are you seeking right now—answers, hope, direction, maybe just a reason to keep taking the next step? Here at Cornerstone Church, this message brings us to one of Jesus’ first invitations in John’s Gospel: come and see. As Pastor Dawn walks through the calling of Jesus’ first followers, we’re reminded that he doesn’t begin with polished people or perfect faith. He meets ordinary people, sees them fully, and invites them to follow. If you’ve ever wondered whether you have to have it all figured out before coming to Jesus, this message is for you. There’s grace...
Sept 20, 2026 "More Than We Can Imagine" John 1:1-18
What if the deepest need in your life isn’t more strength, more clarity, or more control—but learning to abide? This sermon invites us into that very question as we open John 1 and look at who Jesus really is: fully God, fully human, the source of life, light, and grace. You’ll hear how John points us beyond a distant idea of God to the living Word who came near, and why that changes not just what we believe, but how we live. If you’ve ever felt pulled in a dozen directions or wondered where true purpose is found, t...
Sept 13, 2026 "You Will Find Me Bigger" John 1:1-5;14-18; 35-39a
What if the Jesus you’ve known in outline is far bigger than you’ve imagined in reality? At Cornerstone Church, this message opens the Gospel of John with a simple but life-shaping question: not just what did Jesus do, but who is he? As this new series, John: Encounters with the Messiah, begins, you’ll hear an invitation to see Jesus as the living Son of God, the promised Messiah, and the one who offers real life to those who trust him. There’s a tenderness and honesty in this message too—a reminder that faith can include both belief and...
Sept 6, 2026 "A Promise Bigger Than David" 2 Samuel 7
When life feels uncertain, where do you anchor your hope? This message turns our attention to a God whose promises outlast sorrow, disappointment, and even death itself. As Pastor Michael reflects on David’s story in 2 Samuel 7, we’re reminded that even when God says no, his faithfulness does not fail. What David couldn’t see in full was that God was building something far greater than a temple—a promise that would lead to Jesus, the perfect King. If you’ve ever wrestled with grief, unanswered prayer, or the fragile nature of life, this conversation will meet you there with hones...
August 30, 2026 "Running & Finishing Well" 1 Chronicles 28-29
Praise isn’t just for the easy moments. It’s for the valley, the mountain, the questions, and the victories. In this sermon, we’re invited into a deeper kind of worship—one that doesn’t depend on how we feel, but on who God is. As the message unfolds, we’re reminded that following Jesus is a lifelong race marked by trust, humility, generosity, and steady faith. And through it all, the thread running underneath is this: a life well lived points beyond itself to Christ. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to keep going, to keep praising...
August 23, 2026 "David: Failing While Following" 2 Samuel 11 - 12
When sin feels heavier than we know how to carry, grace can sound almost too good to be true. But this message takes us right into that tension—through David’s failure, his honest confession, and the mercy of God that meets him there. In this week's sermon, you’ll hear a powerful reminder that no sin is beyond God’s forgiveness, and no heart is too far gone for his restoring grace. As Jerry walks us through Psalm 51, this sermon invites us to stop hiding, to tell the truth before God, and to discover the freedom that comes with repentan...
August 16, 2026 "God With Us" 2 Samuel 6:12-23
What happens when worship stops being a routine and becomes a response to the presence of God? In this message, Rick takes us into one of Scripture’s most vivid scenes: David dancing before the Lord as the ark enters Jerusalem. It’s a picture of joy, reverence, humility, and wholehearted devotion all at once. And through David’s story, we’re invited to ask what it really means to worship—not just with our words, but with our whole lives. More than that, this message points us beyond David to Jesus, the One who brings us near to God with confi...
August 2, 2026 "The Foolishness of Pride" 1 Samual 25
Pride can make even a faithful person lose their way in a moment. In this sermon, we step into the story of David, Nabal, and Abigail—and see how quickly anger can take over, how wisdom can interrupt destruction, and how God’s grace meets us when we’re about to become our worst selves.
As Felix Chan opens 1 Samuel 25, this message invites us to look honestly at our own hearts: where pride is unchecked, where we’re tempted to pick up the sword, and where God may be sending a voice of truth to pull us back. It’s a t...
July 26, 2026 "Integrity Under Pressure" 1 Samuel 24
What does it truly mean to be a person of integrity—and do you actually live that way when no one is watching? Pastor Len opened Scripture to reveal the remarkable contrast between King Saul, who deflected blame onto others, and David, a flawed but honest man who owned his failures and kept his promises even when it cost him dearly. Despite having Saul completely at his mercy in a cave, David refused to seize the throne ahead of God's timing—because what he believed in private governed what he did in public. Pastor Len offered a piercing definition: integrity isn...
July 19, 2026 "Running on Empty" 1 Samuel 21
What do you do when fear is so loud it drowns out everything you know to be true? Pastor Dawn opens her message by walking us through one of David's most vulnerable moments: a man anointed by God, fleeing for his life, lying to a priest, and eventually drooling on himself to fake insanity. Yet even through this, God's grace refuses to quit. Pastor Dawn draws out a striking truth: David ran toward God's presence first, but fear quickly hijacked his instincts, replacing faith with frantic self-reliance by hoarding weapons, spinning lies, and trusting his own plans over God's provision...
July 12, 2026 "David & Goliath" 1 Samuel 17:1-11
What if the greatest underdog story ever told is actually about something far bigger than one boy with a sling? Josh opens 1 Samuel 17 not as a simple tale of courage, but as a story pointing toward humanity's deepest need. Through Hebrew word study, Josh reveals that Goliath's armor carries the root letters for snake, his scale-covered body an unmistakable echo of the serpent in Eden, defying the armies of the living God. The forty-day challenge, the crushed head, the stone sinking like Pharaoh's army; every detail pulses with Israel's history and cries out toward a future Shepherd who would also...
July 5, 2026 "Seeing What God Sees" 1 Samuel 16:1-13
What if the very thing holding you back from God isn't your failures—but your obsession with looking like you have it all together? Pastor Michael opens Cornerstone's summer series "Failing While Following" by diving into 1 Samuel 16, where God sends the prophet Samuel to anoint an unlikely king. Not the tall, impressive sons Jesse proudly presented, but David, the forgotten shepherd boy left out in the field. Michael brings a refreshingly honest perspective, admitting his own struggle with comparison in a culture saturated by polished preachers and perfect highlight reels. David's greatness wasn't his resume, it was his relentless return to...
June 28, 2026 "Clothed in Christ: A Disciple's Armour" Ephesians 6:10-20
What if the greatest battle you face isn't with the people around you—but with an unseen enemy working to unravel everything God has built in you? Closing out Cornerstone's series in Ephesians, Pastor Dawn opens Ephesians 6 with a striking reminder: every follower of Jesus is already in a spiritual battle, whether they've chosen to engage or not. Drawing from Paul's image of Roman soldiers suiting up for war, Dawn walks through each piece of the armor of God—truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word—not as abstract theology, but as living, breathing protection for real struggles in marria...
June 21, 2026 "The Posture of the Kingdom" Ephesians 5:21-6:9
This week, we’re unpacking a passage from Ephesians 5:21 to 6:9, a text that challenges us to rethink our roles within marriages, families, and workplaces.Â
Join Pastor Michael as he navigates a section of the Bible that raises questions about authority, submission, and equality—topics that can be uncomfortable yet vital for our spiritual growth. Ever wondered what a “posture of the kingdom” truly looks like? This sermon invites us to consider that our relationships don’t just reflect cultural norms but instead should embody the radical love of Christ.
With poignant insights about mutual submission and self-sacrif...
June 14, 2026 "Wise and Spirit Filled Living" Ephesians 5:15-20
Have you ever felt bogged down by the mundane routines of daily life? Does it sometimes feel like God is distant amidst the busyness and distractions?Â
Tyler reminds us that even in the chaos of our busy lives, where we often find ourselves overwhelmed by responsibilities and routine, God is always with us. He encourages us to intentionally seek out God’s presence in every moment, making the most of every opportunity to walk wisely.Â
But what does that look like? How can we pursue God’s will instead of our own desires? What does it mean t...

As we strive to live out God's purposes, we’re reminded that our actions must not only shift away from sinful behaviours but also embody Christ-like love and unity...
May 31, 2026 "Spiritual Gifts.....? Ephesians 4:7-16
In this week's sermon, we’re uncovering powerful insights from Ephesians 4 as we grapple with the concept of spiritual gifts and their crucial role in fostering unity within the body of Christ.
Have you ever wondered how our differences can become strengths? How can a diverse group of individuals come together to form a vibrant, loving community?

Imagine being part of a family where ever...

In this sermon, we unpack the transformative truth that, regardless of our backgrounds or differences, we are all called into a single body through Jesus Christ. Jeremy, alongside two special guests, illustrates the importance of understanding our unique journeys of faith and how those experiences shape our perspectives on what it means to be a part of God's family.
Have you ever felt like an outsider, whether in faith or in life? The early church faced similar challenges, with Jewish and Gentile believers struggling to reconcile their differences. Yet, through the sacrificial love of Christ, barriers of hostility...
May 3, 2026 "Getting What You (Don't) Deserve" Ephesians 2:1-10
Welcome to the latest in our series "From Death to Life." This week, we’re diving into Ephesians chapter 2, a profound passage that asks us to confront our own understanding of worthiness and character.Â
Have you ever wondered about the nature of good and bad? Or perhaps you’ve questioned why life can often feel unfair, leading you to wonder, “Do I really deserve this?” In this sermon, Pastor Michael unpacks the radical truth that the Bible presents: that apart from God's grace, we are not inherently good, but rather spiritually dead in our trespasses. It may sound harsh, but...

This week, we dive deep into the transformative message of "Immeasurably More." This powerful sermon, drawn from Ephesians 3:20-21, challenges us to reconsider our understanding of God’s capacity to act in our lives. Often, we confine our prayers to what seems realistic or manageable, but what if we dared to believe that God could exceed our wildest expectations?
In this sermon, we’ll explore the profound truths presented by Paul and how they apply to our lives today. We’ll journey through stories that showcase how God has continually worked beyond human understanding—from Joseph’s incredible rise from...

This week, we are diving deep into the heart of worship, exploring what it means to not just celebrate in a moment but to embody a life of worship that resonates with the very core of our faith.Â
As our speaker, Rick, shares with us, the book of Hebrews offers encouragement to hold on to Jesus amidst life’s challenges, urging us to transform fleeting moments of praise into a continual sacrifice of worship. We all experience times of joy and celebration, often reflected in moments like Palm Sunday—but what ultimately sustains us is a steadfast commitment to wo...

This week, we gather to celebrate one of the most pivotal moments in Christian history—the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

March 22, 2026 "Love as Worship: Honouring God in Everyday Life" Hebrews 13:1-14
Life can feel overwhelming, and in a world that often pushes us towards self-centeredness, the call to self-sacrificial love emerges as both a challenge and a beautiful opportunity. As we reflect on the notion of worship, many of us picture songs and rituals, yet true worship encompasses so much more—it’s how we treat one another, particularly those who are marginalized or suffering.
In this sermon, we’ll unpack the significance of honouring one another in our homes, our churches, and our communities. We’ll explore what it means to love our neighbours, including strangers and those who may...

Feb 22, 2026 "Everyday Hall of Famers" Hebrews 11:32-40
This week, we’re exploring a powerful sermon titled “Everyday Hall of Famers,” and it’s a timely reminder that true faith isn’t only about triumphs and victories, but also about navigating the complexities and challenges of life.
Have you ever felt like you’re not measuring up, especially when you compare yourself to those “Hall of Famers” of faith, like Abraham, Moses, or the prophets? Well, today, we’ll look at Hebrews 11—they’re often celebrated for their extraordinary acts of faith. But what happens when faith doesn’t come with a trophy or a spotlight? What about those quieter...
Feb 15, 2026 "Faith That Endures" Hebrews 11:20-31
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been navigating through Hebrews chapter 11, a beautiful passage that highlights what genuine faith looks like. This week, we’ll reflect on powerful stories from biblical figures like Abraham and Moses, who each faced immense trials yet chose to trust God’s timing and character. Their journeys exemplify that faith isn’t just about belief; it’s about action, endurance, and the courage to stand strong amidst uncertainty.
We’ll tackle vital questions: How do we live out our faith authentically in a culture that pushes us toward comfort and self-interest? How do we respon...
Feb 8, 2026 "Faith That Goes" Hebrews 11:8-19
Have you ever wrestled with the concept of faith? What does it truly mean to trust and act on those beliefs, especially in times of hardship? Faith can often feel intangible; it's about believing without seeing, obeying without knowing, and trusting without fully understanding. But today, we're going to unpack what a lived faith looks like through the lens of Abraham—a man whose journey exemplified resilience and trust in God's promises, even when circumstances seemed insurmountable.
In this sermon, Michael explores the five key aspects of living a faithful life: the idea that faith is a journey th...

Jan 25, 2026 "Hold On" Hebrews 10:19-39
In this week's sermon, Rick explores the depth of our relationships with God and one another and addresses a struggle many of us experience—the subtle drifting away from our faith community and, eventually, from our relationship with Jesus Himself.
Have you ever felt distant from those who once brought you joy? Perhaps you’ve found yourself skipping church services or hesitating to connect with fellow believers.

Jan 18, 2026 - "It Is Finished!" Hebrews 10:1-18
In this sermon, we’re joined by our guest speaker, Rick, who masterfully unpacks the incredible message of Christ's sacrifice—the ultimate gift given to us through love. As we navigate through this chapter, we’ll discover how the old sacrificial system served merely as a shadow, a precursor to the reality that is Jesus. His once-for-all sacrifice is not just an act of mercy, but an invitation into a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.Â
Rick challenges us to see God as more than a figure to obey out of obligation; instead, He is our loving Father, beckoni...
Jan 11, 2026 "Drawing Near Through Christ" Hebrews 9:1-28
In a world where guilt and shame often hold us back from experiencing true connection and intimacy, today’s sermon titled "Drawing Near Through Christ" invites us to reflect on a vital question: Do we draw near to God fully believing that we are forgiven, or do feelings of inadequacy keep us at bay.Â
This sermon challenges us to put aside our fears and misconceptions about approaching a holy God and instead embrace the liberating truth that we have access to Him through Jesus Christ.
As we turn to Hebrews 9, we will discover how Christ, as our...
