Cornerstone Sf Weekly Audio Podcast

As Christians, we are part of God's Kingdom to come in the next life. But we are also part of that Kingdom now on earth. How can we live a life that honors God in the here and now while hoping towards what is to come?

Have we ever been upset with God and His decision to bless us in a different way than we had expected? How do we respond when this happens? Let's look at an example from Joseph's life and see what we can glean.

Are we reliable? Can people count on us? As Christ-followers we are called to be trustworthy people. Let's glean from the example of Joseph, his father, and his brother.

When we allow God in to places of loss, He will not only heal us, but He will help us grow into a deeper, better person. He will rework our soul.

As a Christ-centered people we need to devote ourselves to consistent community, discipleship, and service. One of the best ways to do this is to set aside a day for gathering as the early church did in the book of Acts.

When we find ourselves on the verge of a new opportunity or a significant change in our lives, we need to silence all the voices and listen for what the Lord is telling us to do.

Following Jesus isn’t just about getting to Heaven - it’s also about living this life here on earth well. What adventures of growth is God inviting us into this season?

How beautiful is a soul set free. God is able to work out His purposes through the hurts and heartbreaks of our lives - if we allow Him to entwine His will into our choices.

The blessed life is a life with roots and one that bears fruit. When we fix ourselves on God's words, we can withstand the storms, and bear the unique fruit He has made for us.

The Christian principle of meditation is about attachment- drawing closer to and finding ourselves in the Lord.

The way of blessing is not getting our way - it's learning how to live in His way. It is here we find true happiness, a joy that cannot be shaken.

Even though choosing God’s way doesn’t always make sense to our human understanding, it is always the better way.

A new friend of Cornerstone, Pastor Jon Kelly, Lead Pastor at Chicago West Bible Church gives us his take on what living a surrendered life to God looks like.

Alex Costanzo, part of the Cornerstone Teaching Team, talks about how surrendering our expectations to God can lead to having more hope and less disappointment.

Guest Speaker David Brickner, Executive Director of Jews For Jesus, talks about how we can surrender our story to God.

We can still have breakthrough with God, even with unresolved hurt in our lives. How do we do this? How do we move forward in forgiveness?

Our setbacks and defeats don’t have to dominate our lives or define us. The key is to continually surrender to His grace.

Following Jesus means coming to peace with our losses and learning to anchor ourselves in the goodness of God. It is here, in the center of His will, that we find the safest place we can be. .

There will come a time in our lives when the Lord asks us to give up something we think we can't live without. But it's in doing so that we draw closer to Him.

One of the keys to breakthrough in all areas of our lives is learning to surrender our negative thoughts and attitudes. Pastor Terry continues his exploration of the life of Joseph.
