Cornerstone Church - Weekend Messages

Psalm 126 is a song of gladness and longing—a reminder that God’s restoration often feels too good to be true, but it is deeply real. In seasons of dryness or doubt, we can remember His past faithfulness and dare to hope again! Whether we're reaping with joy or sowing in tears, God is still at work. Let’s reflect, rejoice, and ask Him to restore us—making us streams in the desert and giving us joy in the waiting!

Confession isn’t about shame—it’s about freedom. In Psalm 32, we’re reminded that joy comes not from our performance, but from forgiveness. This week’s sermon explores why we sometimes hide our failures, how God invites us into grace, and what it looks like to live with honest, humble hearts. Join us as we grow in confession, forgiveness, and the joy of being fully known and deeply loved.

In a world full of noise, we’re all shaped by what we take in. Join us as we slow down, reflect on Psalm 1, and explore how God’s Word can bring us clarity, stability, and fresh life. Together, we’ll discover what it means to delight in His truth and walk in His way—through every season.

Spiritual gifts can be powerful, beautiful, and sometimes...a little uncomfortable. Whether it’s healing, tongues, or prophecy, our past experiences often shape how open we are to these expressions. But God gives us these gifts out of love—to build up the church and draw us closer to Him. This week, we’re leaning in with curiosity, honesty, and a desire to see His Spirit move in healthy, life-giving ways!

Becoming the person God created us to be doesn’t happen by willpower—it happens by walking with the Spirit. As we learn to listen, follow, and stay in step with Him, He produces lasting fruit in our lives. This journey involves recognizing the daily battle within us and choosing the Spirit’s way over our own. Let’s lean into His leading and trust Him as He shapes us to look more like Jesus.

What does it truly mean to be filled with the Spirit, and how can that become a reality in our daily lives? While the Bible has a lot to say about this topic, it’s about more than just doctrine—it's an invitation to daily encounters.

Together, let’s discover what it looks like to seek a deeper experience and expression of the Holy Spirit through asking, confessing, repenting, and yielding to His work!

As we wrap up our Hosea series on Easter, we discover how this Old Testament book points to our risen Savior! Hosea paints a picture of hope for a people on the brink of destruction due to their sins - a hope that ultimately finds its fulfillment in Jesus, the Messiah. Despite our failings, God desires for us to return to Him.

Let’s dive into Hosea 14 together and celebrate the hope we find in Christ!

This week, as we study the book of Hosea, we will examine how sin can lead us much farther than we ever intended to go. We are challenged to reflect on the areas of our lives where we may be tempted to rely on our own abilities, which ultimately lead us away from God.

This week, as we study the book of Hosea, we will explore how God feels about us in our moments of sin. While we might expect Him to look at us with disappointment and anger, we find that He views His children through the lens of His spotless Son, who took all of our sins upon Himself.

Join us this week in our study of Hosea as Pastor Nick Volkening preaches a text that will bring us face-to-face with our pride.

This week in our study of Hosea, we see a beautiful depiction of the Lord. While He is just, He is also faithful and good. As the Lord disciplines us, we understand that it is ultimately for our benefit and our journey back to Him. We learn that true repentance requires not just our actions, but also a sincere change of heart.

This week in our study of Hosea, we are confronted with the difficult truth about God's wrath towards sin. We observe how Israel tried to cling to their sins while still expecting God's approval and blessings in their lives. God is completely just, which means that sin must be punished—either the sinner will bear the consequences, or for believers, those consequences were placed on the sinless Son of God, Jesus.

This week in our study of Hosea, we examine that though the Lord is rich in mercy, He had disapproval of Israel due to their ongoing rebellion against Him. We are encouraged to reflect on challenging questions, such as, “What sins have we excused because we believe they aren’t hurting anyone?”

This week in our Hosea series, we gain insight into the heart of our Father. His correction and removal of sin in our lives are not meant for our destruction; rather, they are ultimately aimed at bringing His people back to Him!
