Dearly beloved in Christ, Christ’s beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12) depict the lifestyle of one who is a part of the kingdom of heaven. Such ones have no higher allegiance than Christ, the LORD.

Cornerstone Family, In Colossians 1:28, the Apostle Paul gives a sort of personal mission statement. He writes, “[Jesus Christ] is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.” Paul more than anyone wanted people to be saved from God’s wrath, but he was not content with […]

Pastor Matt is Back from His Sabbatical

Dear Church Family, With great joy and anticipation, I got up this morning. With hope, I return to serve. Still, I wish I was farther along in my spiritual journey, wish I had a purer heart, and o how I long to be free of the weight of lingering sin. That I’ve made any progress […]

Church family, Where do you go when you feel like you don’t measure up? Sinned to much? Failed too often? Achieved so little? The heart cries, “I’m not the parent I need to be.” Jesus says, “It is finished.” “My career isn’t what I hoped it would be.” Jesus says, “It is finished.” “Others are so much more […]
