How to Kill the Curse | The Curse Pt. 3
The Cross was more than Jesus simply dying for our sins—it was Jesus stepping into the Curse itself and carrying what we could never overcome on our own. Every thorn, every wound, every moment of suffering points back to God's plan to reverse what began in Eden. The greatest curse ever spoken was...
-
The World As We Know It | The Curse Pt. 2
Why does a good God allow pain, tragedy, and disease? Why does the Author of Life allow death? Why do things in our world often feel like it's not the way it's supposed to be? The Bible doesn't ignore those questions—it answers them by revealing a world that's been deeply fractured by sin. Even...
-
It Can’t End Like This | The Curse Pt. 1
One choice. It only took one choice to change the course of human history. What began as Paradise quickly became a cursed world filled with shame, suffering, fear, and death. The brokenness we experience today? It isn't random. It has an origin story. And before we can properly recognize God's...
-
The Way It Works | Off the Cuff Pt. 5
The Book of Obadiah is a prophecy against the nation of Edom—but underneath its warning? There’s a truth that reaches far beyond one ancient nation…our choices have consequences. But the good news is that repentance means we don’t have to keep walking down the same road—we can turn around and...
-
The Beginning of The End | Off the Cuff Pt. 4
Revelation 1 is literally the beginning of the end—it’s the opening chapter of the last book of Scripture! And John’s letter certainly opens with a bang. There is so much to digest in the first chapter...it feels like a disservice to not hit every part of it! So we’re going to take our time…

This is Our King | Off the Cuff Pt.3
Philippians 2:1–11 lays out one of the most deep, powerful passages about Jesus in all of Scripture—the words often called “The Christ Hymn.” But this isn’t merely a theological statement about who Jesus is—it’s a glimpse into the heart, mind, and posture of our King. And Paul’s challenge is that...
-
The Sin We See | Off the Cuff Pt. 2
Psalm 10 gives a picture of the wicked—proud, violent, deceitful…they are convinced that God doesn’t see their awful actions. I mean, we would never be like those people…right? Or—is the sin I see in others also at work against me? Am I too in the Enemy’s sights as He works to distort my heart?…

Before the Roar | Off the Cuff Pt. 1
Daniel 6 is usually remembered for what happened in the den—but the real story begins long before Daniel ever got there. When a new law threatens his life, Daniel doesn’t suddenly become a man of prayer—he simply keeps doing what he had already been doing. We see that the threat didn’t create...

2,177 Days | Banner Year Weekend
It’s been almost six years—2,177 days to be exact—since we launched renewed ministry at Cornerstone Church. And in between August 30, 2020 and August 16, 2026, we have experienced nothing short of miracle after miracle. God has been so good for us—moving in our midst in a way that defies logic.…

Recognizing a Quiet God | Signs & Silence Pt. 2
So if God isn’t always loud or obvious...how do you learn to recognize His voice? Often, we miss God not because He isn’t speaking—but because we’re listening for the wrong kind of voice. We need to reframe and refocus on what it means to hear from our Heavenly Father, who invites us to slow down...
-
The Sound of Silence | Signs & Silence Pt. 1
What do you do when God doesn’t respond the way that you expect—or doesn’t seem to respond at all? Scripture actually gives us language for the moments just like this...when Heaven feels quiet and God feels distant. Instead of pretending everything is fine—we’re shown that we can build a faith…

Out of Sync With God | The Tragedy of Jonah the Prophet Pt. 3
The Book of Jonah comes to an end…but not really. In fact—the book is well-known for the fact that it lacks any real ending. It just abruptly stops mid-conversation between Jonah and God. And this narrative device speaks volumes—showing us that our lack of grace, compassion, and mercy can hinder...
-
The Reward of Repentance | The Tragedy of Jonah the Prophet Pt. 2
Jonah’s downward spiral ends in the most unexpected of places—a fish. But even in the belly of the beast...God is not absent. Jonah’s story shows us that God’s goodness and mercy often show up in what feels like confinement or consequence—and that things can change, not because our situation...
-
You’re Going the Wrong Way | The Tragedy of Jonah the Prophet Pt. 1
Jonah hears from God and immediately runs in the opposite direction. This scenario is not so different from one that we often find ourselves in: “What do I do when God’s direction conflicts with my desire?” As we study Jonah’s story, we learn the truth that running from God never removes you from...
-
From Sinai to Calvary | Cornerstone College Pt.4
One of the first things you’ll notice in your Bible is that it has two Testaments—but what’s the difference in the two? What changed when Jesus came? Do Christians still follow Old Testament laws? Does the Old Testament matter anymore? We need to unpack covenant and fulfillment—and how Jesus...
-
Knowing the God We Follow | Cornerstone College Pt. 3
We say we love God—but who exactly is God? Christians believe in one God who exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—a mystery that’s often confusing but incredibly powerful. Are they separate? Do they have different roles? And how does the Trinity play out in everyday faith? We all want to better...

Knowing the God We Follow | Cornerstone College Pt. 3
We say we love God—but who exactly is God? Christians believe in one God who exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—a mystery that’s often confusing but incredibly powerful. Are they separate? Do they have different roles? And how does the Trinity play out in everyday faith? We all want to better...
-
Missing the Mark | Cornerstone College Pt. 2
It’s the issue we all need to deal with—sin. And yet? Few of us really understand what it is or what it does to us. Is sin just breaking rules or is it deeper than that? How does it shape our hearts? If I’m struggling—am I condemned? Few areas have more misunderstandings than sin. It’s time to…
more -
What’re You Reading? | Cornerstone College Pt. 1
It’s the book behind it all! So what is it that makes the Bible trustworthy? What does it really mean when we call it “God’s Word?” How do we read it responsibly without twisting it or taking it out of context? We’re diving into Scripture to see how it was formed, why it matters, and how to study...

A Discussion on Death
Cornerstone Church exists to help people find the Father, a family, and a fulfilling future. This sermon was preached at Cornerstone Church located in Akron, OH on June 6, 2026.
-
How to Gain Power | Power and the Plank Pt.1
In a culture obsessed with control, influence, and being right, Jesus redefines what power actually looks like. Instead of lording authority over others, He calls His followers to a posture of humility and service. This message confronts our tendency to control people, win arguments, and assert...
-
How to Judge Others | Power and the Plank Pt. 2
Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 cut straight to the heart of our tendency to judge others while ignoring our own brokenness. Before we speak into someone else’s life, we are called to examine ourselves. This message challenges the culture of criticism and outrage by calling us to personal…
more -
Grace Has a Thick Skin | My Kind of Church Pt. 3
In a culture fueled by outrage, offense has become a way of life—but not for followers of Jesus. At Cornerstone, we believe we can be deeply convicted without being easily offended. People may misunderstand us, disagree with us, or even mock us, and that’s OK. Jesus has shown the Church a better...
-
Jesus Over Everything | My Kind of Church
We have a guiding mindset at Cornerstone: “Is Jesus at the center?” We believe Christ is the fullest revelation of God—which means our theology, worship, mission, and relationships all orbit around Him. Churches lose their way whenever Jesus is replaced with preferences, personalities, or…
more -
There’s Room at the Table | My Kind of Church Pt. 1
Church isn’t for people who have it all figured out—it’s for people who are still wrestling. At Cornerstone, we’re not afraid of doubt, failure, questions, or messy stories because Jesus never avoided broken people...He moved toward them. We believe honesty is safer than pretending and that…
more -
Highlight Reels & Deleted Scenes | Weapon of Mass Destruction Pt. 2
Social media has expanded the reach of comparison beyond anything previous generations could’ve ever imagined. We measure ourselves not just against our neighbors—but against an infinite feed of filtered success and curated joy. That kind of comparison pulls us towards inferiority or...
-
Trouble With the Truth | Weapon of Mass Destruction Pt. 3
We assume we’re informed—but most of us are only seeing half the story. Algorithms work to confirm our fears, preferences, and assumptions—while filtering out anything that might challenge us. We’re in parallel worlds where people live side-by-side but don’t understand each other. How can…
more -
When Thoughts Skip the Filter | Weapon of Mass Destruction Pt.1
Social media has erased the space between thought and speech. What used to be filtered through wisdom, prayer, and relationship now goes straight from the heart to the screen. Our darkest, most reactive thoughts no longer have to mature before being shared. With the press of a button, they’re...
-
I Told You So | Easter at Cornerstone
If you were Jesus—what would you have done first thing on Easter morning all those years ago? Most likely your answer and my answer would both look a whole lot different than what Jesus decided to do. But it’s those first actions Jesus took after the Resurrection that tell us so much about the...
-
Make Way For the King | Invitology Pt. 5
When people respond to God with open hearts? Jesus moves among them. So our role as His followers is to prepare the way for others so they can encounter Him for themselves. Every invitation and every gesture towards Jesus creates space for life-changing encounters—clearing the way to the Cross so...
-
Every Moment Holy | Invitology Pt. 4
Following Jesus isn’t confined to a singular moment—it truly is a way of life. All interactions and each space we occupy can be a mission field. Our schools, our workplaces, our communities…they are the harvest fields. We must shake ourselves out of the mundane and live with intention—seeing…
more -
My Story Matters | Invitology Pt. 3
Here’s an all-important truth to remember—you don’t need all of the answers to impact someone else’s life. Our personal experiences and testimony? They carry immense power. When we courageously share how God moves in our lives, our experiences can illuminate the way for others, breaking through...
-
The Art of Invitation | Invitology Pt. 2
Sharing the Gospel doesn’t require complex strategies—in fact? Sometimes it all begins with just two words: “Come & See!” There is incredible power in a personal invitation. We see that lives are changed when we step out and extend an authentic, simple call to encounter Jesus. It’s these small…
more -
A Heart Like His | Invitology Pt. 1
The relentless love and pursuit of our Heavenly Father is drawn to those who are apart from Him. That’s why evangelism begins with compassion, not guilt—and when our hearts align with His? We begin to see people as He does...worthy of pursuit, care, and hope. When we experience God’s love for the...
-
The Weight of "Yes"
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus felt the full weight of His calling—and He still said yes. Some moments in life come with an unmistakable heaviness, not because God has left us, but because He’s inviting us into something costly. Obedience isn’t easy, but it’s holy. And feeling the weight of…
more -
Hidden In Plain Sight | The Weight of the Moment Pt. 3
Jesus wept over Jerusalem because the God they followed had arrived in their midst, but they didn’t recognize Him. It’s possible to be surrounded by the activity of God and still miss it. Spiritual blindness and distraction can keep us from noticing what God is doing right in front of us. Refuse…
more -
Holy is Heavy | The Weight of the Moment Pt. 2
When God shows up, it’s never lightweight. His presence always carries significant weight—the glory that humbles, stills, and transforms us. To live aware of that glory means not treating God casually but responding with awe and reverence. Feeling the weight of the moment begins when His…
more -
While You Were Sleeping | The Weight of the Moment Pt. 1
We live surrounded by divine moments—but many of us sleep through them. Jacob didn’t recognize God’s presence until after the encounter was over. Waking up spiritually means learning to see that God is already in our midst. The first step to feeling the weight of the moment is realizing that this...
-
The Power of Perspective | Rethinking my Resolution Pt. 4
The way you SEE determines the way you LIVE. Two people can face the same situation and see completely different possibilities. Perspective turns obstacles into opportunities and pressure into purpose. As we head into the new year, we must remember that we can’t always change our circumstances…
more -
Small is the New Big | Rethinking My Resolution Pt. 3
Big changes don’t come from big moments. Big changes come from small, consistent steps. There is spiritual power in rhythms and repetition. What you do daily? It determines who you become permanently. Scripture calls it faithfulness. Modern language calls it discipline. Either way, habits are…
more -
First Things First | Rethinking My Resolution Pt. 2
You can’t do everything—but you can do the right things. It’s our priorities that either drive our growth or drain it. When everything matters, nothing does, and most of us are running hard in the wrong direction. Jesus said: “Seek first the kingdom” because order determines outcome. So if you…
more -
Name It, Don't Claim It | Rethinking My Resolution Pt. 1
Everyone wants a better year, but few of us stop to define what “better” actually means. So what actually makes a year great? And not in our eyes—but in the eyes of the One who matters most—God’s eyes? Spoiler: it’s not comfort or ease. It’s alignment with Him. Before we set goals, we need to set...
-
The Darkness is Different | Into the Night Pt.4
The birth of Jesus is the embodiment of God’s love—selfless, sacrificial, and unfailing. This love changes everything...calling us not only to receive it but also to reflect it in how we live. Jesus came into the night to show us that God’s love—when properly understood— compels us to go into the...
-
Smile All the While | Into the Night Pt. 3
Because of Jesus’ arrival into our night, we can have joy—a true and deep satisfaction—that transcends pain, disappointment, and waiting. Joy from God doesn’t depend on our own situation...it flows from the unchanging goodness of God. We can know the joy Jesus brings when He steps into our...
-
Why Don’t You Get Some Rest? | Into the Night Pt. 2
Amid the chaos—God’s peace breaks through. That’s what happened over 2,000 years ago when Jesus came into the night…He brought peace to a restless world. A deep and lasting calm that comes from knowing we are held by God. And it’s that peace that comes only from King Jesus that can guard our...
-
The Dawn Is Coming | Into the Night Pt. 1
Hope is more than wishful thinking—it’s the ability to see past our darkest moments. And that’s exactly what Jesus enters into our night to bring us—hope. The confident expectation that God’s promises are actually true and that no matter how dark the night gets, His light will not be overcome....
-
Business As Usual | Vision & Victory Pt. 3
This is the moment. Not to play it safe or sit on the sidelines. It’s the moment to rise up and move forward in bold, audacious faith. God is calling Cornerstone to take ground—not for our name, but for His Kingdom. We’re stepping out, believing big, and claiming territory in our city. Our...
-
The Price of Purpose | Vision & Victory Pt. 2
Vision without any kind of sacrifice is simply a dream. So the honest truth is that anything worthwhile—especially expanding the Kingdom of God—always costs something...our time, our comfort, our resources, our convenience. If we want to see victory in our spheres of influence—we’ve got to be...
-
Seeing How God Sees | Vision & Victory Pt. 1
Before we can take ground? We have to see the ground. We want God to open our eyes—to see our city the way He sees our city. The brokenness, yes—but also the potential, the people, the purpose. Our vision shouldn’t just be about our future as a church—it should be about the future of our city. So...

The Lord Works in Many Ways
For many of us the phrase “The Lord works in mysterious ways...” has become a default explanation for everything from the confusing to the tragic. It’s what we’re told when we don’t get the job, when a friend passes away, or when a relationship ends. In those moments, we need help and...
