Sermon | Saved From The Curse Of The Law | Galatians 3:10-14
As we begin Advent, we step back from mere sentimentality to consider why Jesus truly came. Scripture tells us that all who rely on the works of the law stand under God’s curse, a reality we rarely think about, yet one that lies at the heart of the gospel. The law exposes our failure, and no…

Sermon | Down In The Dumps | Psalm 42
In Psalm 42, the writer asks himself, "why is my soul downcast?" As you read the psalm, it is clear to us! He is under attack from enemies; he is unable to eat; he is overwhelmed with life. He feels discouraged and depressed, but his circumstances and feelings are not the focus of this Psalm. The...
-
Sermon | The Problem of Sexual Immorality | 1 Corinthians :1-13
In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul confronts both the serious sexual sin within the Corinthian church and the church’s troubling silence about it. He calls believers to respond to sin, whether in our own lives or in the lives of others, with grief, not arrogance or indifference. Sin grows when minimized…

Sermon | The Problem of Spiritual Arrogance | 1 Corinthians 4:1-21
In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul exposes the danger of thinking we’ve “arrived” spiritually when in truth we have not. The Corinthians mistook early success and blessing for maturity, growing proud instead of dependent. Paul reminds them that faithful servants know their place, live as stewards under...
-
Sermon | The Problem of Immaturity | 1 Corinthians 3:1-23
In our passage this week Paul calls out the Corinthians for their lack of real spiritual growth. They are still living on “milk” instead of “solid food.” He reminds the church that only God gives growth, warns against false progress built on worldly wisdom, and calls believers to build their…

Sermon | Cast Out Fear with Fear | Exodus 1:6-22
Fear is a powerful motivator – sometimes for the good, but often it can drive us to unwise and ungodly decisions. In the book of Exodus, two godly and courageous women face one of the most powerful kings of the day and stand as an example to us of what it means to fear the Lord and ultimately…

Sermon | Jesus Christ and Him Crucified | 1 Cornthians 2:1-16
Picking up from his emphasis on the power and wisdom of God found in the cross, Paul continues by contrasting his method of proclamation to the “lofty speech” that was popular in Greek culture. Though Paul was in fact a skilled speaker, he didn’t want anything to distract from or compromise the...
-
Sermon | The Power Of The Cross | 1 Corinthians 1:17-31
The message of the cross runs counter to everything the world celebrates. To some it seems weak or foolish, but to those who believe, it is the very power and wisdom of God. The cross exposes our pride, silences our boasting, and shows that salvation comes not through human strength or wisdom…
more -
Sermon | Quarrels in the Church | 1 Corinthians 1:1-17
Paul opens his letter to the Corinthians by addressing a problem that still plagues the church today—division. Though enriched with every spiritual gift, the Corinthians had allowed personal loyalties and pride to fracture their fellowship. Paul reminds them (and us) that we are one family,...
-
Sermon | Discover Calling | Exodus 2:11-17,23-24,3:1-12,4:1-3
In the last sermon in our vision series, Pastor Billy examines the call of Moses. Moses’ story reminds us that God often calls ordinary people to extraordinary tasks. When faced with the enormity of leading Israel out of Egypt and perhaps feeling his own insignificance, Moses asked, “Who am I?”…
more -
Sermon | Experience Belonging | Acts 2:42-47
The early church was marked by deep community, devotion, and generosity. Their belonging wasn’t rooted in shared interests or convenience, but in a shared faith centered on God’s Word. They lived out their beliefs in practical, personal, and persistent ways—caring for one another, worshiping...
-
Sermon | Find Freedom | Romans 7:15-8:2
We all value freedom, but often look for it in the wrong places. Paul reminds us that even as believers, the struggle with sin is real—our desires and our abilities don’t always align. Yet true brokenness before God is not despair but a gift that leads us to the only answer: Jesus Christ. In Him…
more -
Sermon | Know God | Philippians 3:1-11
We begin our 4-part vision series today with a prayer to “Know God.” In Philippians 3, Paul reminds us that nothing compares to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus. Our confidence is not in what we have done but in what Christ has accomplished for us. Knowing God means experiencing His...
-
Sermon | A Prayer For Blessing | Psalm 67
Psalm 67 reminds us that true blessing is not simply health, wealth, or success, but the fullness of life lived in the presence of God—His face shining on us with grace and peace. This blessing is received, not achieved; it comes through Christ, who bore the curse so that we might know God’s…
more -
Sermon | A Prayer Of Holy Longing | Psalm 84
In Psalm 84 we hear the cry of a heart that longs for God above all else. The psalmist reminds us of the goodness, rightness, and greatness of God’s presence, declaring that one day with Him is better than a thousand elsewhere. As we set God’s truth before us, the Spirit produces in us a holy...
-
Sermon | A Prayer For The Spiritually Stagnant | Psalm 34
Psalm 34 is David’s testimony of God’s deliverance and renewal in a season of need. Spiritual stagnancy can affect any believer, but David shows us the way forward—coming to God with humility, resting in His promises, and seeking His nearness. In Christ, we find the One who redeems, sustains, and...
-
Sermon | God Holds You | Proverbs 3:5-6
We welcome to the pulpit, Mark Van Gilst, founding pastor of Cornerstone. Understanding fully what it means to “trust in the Lord”, gives significant direction to our life goals, and enables us to contend against anxiety and to wrestle for hope and peace in every corner of our lives.
-
Sermon | A Prayer For The Fearful | Psalm 91
We welcome to the pulpit, Tyler Brown, who is transitioning this summer from his role as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship to the role of church planter in Newark. We live in a world driven by fear. Our society moves with the constant background noise of worry and anxiety. As we...
-
Sermon | A Prayer Of Adoration | Psalm 29
Psalm 29 calls us to lift our eyes and behold the glory of God. As David watches a thunderstorm roll in, he sees not chaos but a powerful display of God’s majesty. He summons even the angels to worship, reminding us that God is enthroned over all creation. This glorious God, full of strength and...
-
Sermon | A Prayer For A Clean Heart | Psalm 51
We reflect this week on Psalm 51 and David’s heartfelt cry for inner renewal after his precipitous fall into sin and scandal. Through David’s example, we see three key movements of repentance: he confesses his sin fully without excuse, he grasps God’s mercy as the basis for his hope, and he...
-
Sermon | A Prayer For The Weary Soul | Psalm 13
Pastor Billy begins a new sermon series this week focused on praying through the Psalms. Each week we will look at a different psalm to see what it teaches us about how to pray. We begin with Psalm 13 which is a psalm of lament. We see David surrendering his tears to the Lord in prayer and in the...
-
Sermon | I Am the Vine | John 15:1-11
Today is our last Sunday of the I AM series. Jesus has told us multiple times in multiple ways who he is, why he came, who we are, and how we are to live. Today we focus on the metaphor of the vine and branches. Jesus is the true vine. The questions for us… If we believe in Jesus, how can we be...
-
Sermon | Persevering In Missions | Psalm 2
Isaac Shaw is the National Director/President of Delhi Bible Institute and the Senior Pastor of Bible Bhavan Christian Fellowship. Isaac is married to Gloria who is from Colombia. She leads the mercy ministries of the church. Isaac and Gloria have four children, Gloria, Myriam, Sarah and Isaac Jr.
-
Sermon | I Am the Way, the Truth, the Life | John 14:1-11
Perhaps no line spoken by Jesus has proven more contentious than that found in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” More than even Jesus’ bold and frequent claims to divinity, this claim to be the only way to the Father, has stirred up...
-
Sermon | I Am the Resurrection and the Life | John 11:1-44
The Bible is full of stories of God’s last-minute, eleventh-hour deliverance. The Israelites are nearly defeated by Pharaoh and his army when at the last minute the Red Sea was parted. Abraham almost went through with slaying his son Isaac when at the last minute an angel intervened. But what...
-
Sermon | I Am The Good Shepherd | John 10:11-18
We come this week to the fourth “I am” statement in the John’s gospel: “I am the good shepherd.” Of all the ways Jesus could have described himself as our shepherd, he choose to reveal himself as the good shepherd. Unlike a hired hand, Jesus loves us freely, not out of obligation; fully, laying...
-
Sermon | I Am The Door | John 10:1-10
We continue with the “I Am” series this morning with Jesus’ third statement – “I am the door.” This metaphor clearly portrays Jesus as the way of salvation and life. There is no other. Many of us understand this, but we still struggle with entering and receiving. With many “doors” and “voices” in...
-
Sermon | I Am The Light Of The World | John 8:12-20
Last week Pastor Billy preached from John 6 on Christ being the bread of life, true nourishment for our souls, giving us new affections which drive out or expel the love of sin from our hearts, like water displacing air in a beaker. And today we hear Jesus’ claim to be the light of the world. But...
-
Sermon | I am The Bread Of Life | John 6:22-44
We are all seekers—restless and hungry for something deeper—and Jesus meets us in that longing with His bold claim: “I am the bread of life.” In a world full of empty substitutes, Christ alone offers true nourishment for our souls—past, present, and future. When we come to Him in faith, not only...
-
Sermon | Growing In Grace | 2 Peter 3:14-18
We come this morning to the apostle Peter’s final recorded words. As he prepares for his own death, he has a final exhortation to the church he loves so much: keep growing! Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Are you still growing your faith? Do you have a greater awareness…
more -
Sermon | Scoffers & Scoffing | 2 Peter 3:1-13
We all face disappointment at various seasons in our lives. But when that disappointment is left unaddressed, it can sometimes turn into disillusionment, and if we are not careful, we can find ourselves showing contempt toward God. In our passage this week Peter addresses a group of people who…
more -
Sermon | Whom Are You Seeking | John 20:11-16
On that first Easter morning, when everyone left and went back to their homes, Mary Magdalene stayed. She lingered. She waited. She wept. Outside the empty grave of Jesus, she was met by two angels – dressed “in white.” Mary refused to be comforted even by these heavenly messengers. Her heart was...
-
Sermon | Waterless Springs | 2 Peter 2:10-22
Some threats to our faith are as obvious as roaring lions but other threats are harder to spot. Peter places false teachers in the latter category. They are waterless springs, he says, offering life but unable to actually deliver. In the sermon this week Pastor Billy explores the false promises…
more -
Sermon | False Teachers and Fake Gospels | 2 Peter 2:1-10
We welcome Pace Holbrooks, who is campus minister with Reformed University Fellowship at the University of Delaware to continue in our sermon series '2 Peter Everything We Need'. In his second letter, Peter is deeply concerned with the internal threat presented by false teachers. These are…
more -
Sermon | The Danger Of Fruitless Faith | 2 Peter 1:5-15
Does God primarily want us to be faithful or to be fruitful? In the sermon this week Pastor Billy explains that this is a false dilemma – we do not need to choose between being faithful to Jesus and being fruitful for Jesus. One leads to the other. In our passage, Peter invites Christians to...
-
Sermon | A Table Open To All | Luke 14:12-24
Isaiah 25:6-9 is the first mention of a great banquet at the end of history where God is the host. In our passage, Jesus is invited to comment on this event. With a little cultural background, we discover just how different and radical Jesus’ interpretation was compared to the ideas of his day.…
more -
Sermon | Stand Firm | 1 Peter 5:8-14
As Peter concludes his letter he reminds us that the devil is real, that the Christian life is a battle, and that we need to, therefore, stand firm in the victory that Jesus already secured for us.
-
Sermon | The Danger Of Self-Sufficiency | 1 Peter 5:1-7
“Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love.” Robert Robinson’s well-known hymn “Come Thou Fount” summarizes well the Christian life. Although we have been rescued by the cross and filled with the Spirit, our hearts are still prone to wander. In the sermon this week Pastor...
-
Sermon | It's Time For Judgement To Begin | 1 Peter 4:12-19
We are often surprised when hard times come. Suffering tends to blindside us. Peter, though, tells us not be surprised when these things happen but rather to rejoice because God has a purpose for them in our lives.
-
Sermon | It's The End Of The World...So Love! | 1 Peter 4:7-11
In our passage last week, Pastor Billy talked about the hostility we all face – our flesh. Amid this challenge, we are to put off worldly behavior and desires. This week we will look at what we are to put on. Peter motivates the believer to be alert, to love deeply, to serve the Lord…
more -
Sermon | Our Battle With The Flesh | 1 Peter 4:1-7
Throughout the letter, Peter has addressed various forms of hostility Christians inevitably face. He sympathizes with those who are being persecuted by the world. He warns of the devil who prowls around like a roaring lion. In our passage this week he calls attention to yet another area of...
-
Sermon | Be A Blessing! | 1 Peter 3:8-17
Hope is a defining characteristic of believers. We are “born into a living hope” the moment we receive Christ and that hope, says Peter, is to constantly radiate from our lives. Even in times of hardship, the hope we have in Christ should arouse so much curiosity in others, they are drawn to ask…
more -
Sermon | Christ The Victor | 1 Peter 3:18-22
In times of trials and temptations, fears and doubts can begin to fill our minds. We can sometimes feel alone, abandoned, and certain of coming defeat. In our passage this week, the apostle Peter reminds a suffering church that they have a savior who stands in victory over all these things.
-
Sermon | Wives & Husbands | 1 Peter 3:1-7
In the sermon this week Pastor Billy examines the beauty of God’s design for marriage as it is laid out in 1 Peter 3. We will consider the challenge, the calling, and the consequence of the Bible’s unique vision for marriage.
-
Sermon | Restoration: Let Earth Receive Her King | Revelation 21:1-8

-
Sermon | Redemption Accomplished : Far as the Curse is Found | Galatians 3:10-14
“Do hard things!” This might be helpful advice and a necessary antidote to the me-first, no-expectations comfort culture of our day. However, in the sermon this week Pastor Billy will challenge us to see the limits of our human abilities. There are some things we simply cannot do for ourselves.…
more -
Sermon | Redemption Promised: A Thrill Of Hope | Micah 5:2-5a
A Thrill of Hope…Redemption! Amid our sin and rebellion, God acts on our behalf to redeem us through Christ the King. The King gives us hope even under dire circumstances. Because we are his people, we have a true and eternal hope in Jesus. Let us daily put our hope in Jesus.
-
Sermon | The Fall: Long Lay the World in Sin & Error Pining | Colossians 1:21-23
Long lay the world in sin and error pining…In the sermon this week Pastor Billy explores the second part of the biblical storyline: the fall. We will seek to go beyond mere description of what is wrong with the world and instead seek to understand the Bible’s diagnosis of what is wrong.
-
Sermon | Creation: The Beginning of the Christmas Story | Psalm 33
Thanksgiving might still be a few days away, but the Christmas season has already begun here at Cornerstone! Pastor Billy kicks off the Christmas sermon series this week looking at the very beginning of the Christmas story, the story of creation. In this sermon series we will look at the…
