Cornerstone Boulder Weekly Podcast

As we begin a new ministry year and celebrate 30 years of Cornerstone, we are reminded that everything we build depends on the foundation beneath it. This message invites us to build our lives—and our church—on Jesus, trusting Him, serving Him, and receiving His love as we pursue His gospel and His kingdom.

Peter’s story is one of bold faith, painful failure, and remarkable restoration. Jess walks through Peter’s denial of Jesus and his powerful encounter with the risen Christ, showing how Jesus meets us in our brokenness, restores our relationship with Him, and calls us back into a life of purpose. Peter’s failure didn’t have the final word and neither do ours.

What can Peter's life teach us about following Jesus? In this message, Dan traces Peter's journey from humble beginnings to courageous faith, showing how ordinary people are transformed through walking closely with Christ. As Peter learns that following Jesus is no joke, we discover that even one step of faith can change the course of a life.

Gene concludes our series in 1 Peter with Peter’s final words to the persecuted church. In order to continue on and to leave a legacy in the face of severe persecution, the church will need to incorporate two important postures. These postures will give them the courage to live boldly for the kingdom and to leave behind a lasting legacy.

Tim continues our Resilient Exiles series with 1 Peter 4:7–11, where the church is called to become a living reflection of God’s Kingdom: a community that loves deeply, welcomes freely, and serves generously. In the midst of exile, Peter invites us not merely to endure, but to embody our true home and experience the Kingdom of Heaven among us.

This week Aaron continues our series Resilient Exiles as we explore Peter's invitation to "live such good lives" in the face of suffering and persecution. Together, we'll discover how a life rooted in Christ empowers us to become a witness of blessing, even in the midst of hardship.

This week, Benny and Janice from El Pozo de Vida share how true freedom in Christ is available to everyone and is strengthened through community. Drawing from John 8 and James 1, they explore how pain can become a platform for growth and how God develops character through every season.

Peter calls us living stones, built together into a spiritual house. We trace God's presence from Eden, to the temple veil, to the cross, to the Spirit in His people... and ask what it means that YOU are part of that house.

This week Brian emphasizes God’s command to be holy, encouraging believers to live with purpose and intentionally make room for God in their daily lives, and in the world around them.

Brian explores the different kinds of decisions we face in life and how discernment often requires patience, surrender, and trust in God’s timing. Through scripture, practical wisdom, and personal examples, it reminds us that waiting is not wasted time but a season where God shapes our hearts, clarifies our direction, and teaches us to walk by faith even without complete certainty

Who are the voices shaping your decisions? Kari explores how God speaks through the people he places on our path and what it looks like to gather wise counsel as we seek his will in the decisions of life.

How do we recognize God’s direction when life feels uncertain? This message by Brian explores how spiritual attentiveness, inner discernment, Scripture, life circumstances, and recurring patterns help us faithfully navigate the path of life.

How does Scripture help us discern God’s will when life rarely gives us obvious answers? Tim guides us through the story of King Josiah, where we’ll see how God’s Word reveals His heart, shapes our desires, and forms us into people who can act with wisdom, faith, and courage.

This week, Aaron begins our new series, The Path of Life, setting the direction for the weeks ahead and challenging us to recognize that discerning the will of God begins as we surrender our own.

Gabe explores Luke 15 to reveal God’s heart of celebration over the lost being found. This message shows that true joy is found through repentance, forgiveness, and recognizing our need for Jesus. The invitation is clear—we’re not meant to stand outside, but to step into the celebration of new life with God.

Brian reminds us that God is always at work in people around us. We’re called to see the value in others, remind them what home is really like, and celebrate what God restores. This message invites us to reflect on our role in the story, are we the younger son, the older son, or becoming more like the Father?
