Temptation is a part of everyday life, so what does the Bible say on how to combat it? Matthew 4 tells us the Spirit compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness where he would fast 40 days and suffer temptation from Satan himself.Jesus being fully God and fully human was tempted in every way, just as we are, yet was without sin (Hebrews 4:15).   He was victorious over the enemy and temptation and the Believer can be victorious as well in Jesus Christ.

When in the Wilderness

Midweek Bible Study

Join us as Pastor Tony Clark explores the question, "What does the Holy Spirit look like?" Drawing inspiration from Ephesians 5:15-33, He delves into the tangible manifestations of the Holy Spirit in our lives, highlighting the transformative power of His presence and how it impacts our relationships, worship, and daily walk with God. Join us as we uncover the beauty and significance of a Spirit-filled life.

What does the Holy Spirit look like?

An in-depth study of 1 Thessalonians 2:13-3:13.

God uses Amos to prophecy to the kingdom of Israel about the impending judgment that will come upon them. God says He will send a famine on the land – not a famine of bread or water, but a famine of “hearing the words of the LORD”. As believers, we can easily see the effects of spiritual famine nationally and globally in our day, but sometimes it’s difficult to spot spiritual famine in our own lives. Join us for today’s message as Pastor Austin unpacks the seven signs of spiritual famine.

Seven Signs of Spiritual Famine

Present Sufferings vs. Future Glory

Join us for a special midweek service with Jim Garlow and Gary Hamrick.

A Conversation with Jim Garlow and Pastor Gary Hamrick

Wherever Christ is preached there is usually one of two responses—either revival or revolt.  When the light of Jesus is turned on, it confronts the darkness of whatever it touches.  If the response is contrition and humility, the result is revival.  But if the response is confusion and hostility, the result is revolt. In Acts 19, we see both responses.  Pastor Gary compares the revolt in Ephesus to our current culture, and highlights five points of revival that are still true today.

Revival or Revolt?

At Cornerstone Chapel, it is our desire that you see the love of Jesus Christ reflected through the systematic, verse by verse teaching of the Bible and through heart-felt, contemporary worship lifted up to God.

People who don’t normally come to church or know anything about the Bible will not understand who Jesus is unless Christians tell them. In Acts 17, Paul went to the “marketplace” and explained Jesus in terms that “unchurched” people could understand. His conversation and interaction with the pagan people of Athens teaches us some important things about taking Jesus to a lost world outside the church.

Taking Jesus to the Marketplace

In this July 4th weekend teaching, Pastor Gary explores our country’s historical Christian heritage as well as our freedom in Christ. Faith and Freedom go together—both physical and spiritual. Many men and women laid down their lives to secure our liberties, and the Church should continue to be salt and light in our world to preserve and maintain those liberties. Special musical guest, Mary Millben, joins Pastor Gary for this patriotic service.

Faith and Freedom

There are times in the course of life when things are hard and life is difficult. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas had been beaten and thrown into prison. They didn’t know whether they would be rescued or whether they would be killed for their faith. Nevertheless, they “prayed and sang” to the Lord because God is worthy of our worship no matter our circumstances. It’s easy to sing when times are good, but how easily do you sing when times are bad? In today’s teaching, Pastor Gary invites us to pray, “Lord, teach me to sing in the darkness.” In other words, even when things are bad in life, may we still have a song on our lips for the One who is worthy of our worship!

Sing in the Darkness

Join Pastor Gary for an in-depth study of 2 Samuel 1-2.

If you are going through a difficult time, you are not alone. Plenty of people suffer in this life. But for the Christian, there are things we can learn through adversity. In Acts 14:22 it says, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” Pastor Gary unpacks this verse and teaches four things that we can learn through tough times.

What Tough Times Teach Us

Pastor Gary and Israel tour guide Ronnie Cohen sit down to talk all things Israel in this special Q &amp; A service.

Evening Special with Ronnie Cohen

Did you know that being a “good person” is not good enough? The Bible tells us that the human condition is broken and sinful and therefore we need a Savior—Jesus. We can’t do or say enough good things to overcome our broken condition. But here’s the good news—God offers us forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus and what He did on the cross when he died for our sins. That act of kindness and mercy is God’s grace. In today’s teaching from a sermon that Paul delivered in Acts 13, Pastor Gary urges us to embrace God’s grace and receive the forgiveness we all need!

Embrace God’s Grace

Join Pastor Gary for an in-depth study of 1 Samuel 29-31.

In this teaching Pastor Gary gives a Biblical response to the cultural chaos and the corporate controversy that has overtaken our country with gender confusion, sexual perversion, and a “woke” agenda. How can we navigate all the madness without losing our hearts for those who are caught up in the madness? We should be outraged by all the cultural evil, but we should never lose the mission of the church because of our outrage over the madness of the world. At the same time, we must never condone the evil or affirm the delusion. Pastor Gary explains the “WHY” behind the madness and “WHAT” we should do in response.
