A Mustard Seed of Faith

Luke [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/LukeSermonSeries_WebBanner.jpg] This morning we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the nations. Today, Jesus continues a string of exhortations to his disciples. In his passage, he reveals the staggering truth that even a mustard seed of genuine trust in God can do the humanly impossible.

From Deception to Delight

Psalms: Songs for Life (2025) [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Songs_for_Life_2025_f2_NC_1920x550.png] Today, we continue a series, Songs for Life, looking through the Psalms to see how this book offers ancient, inspired prayers for orienting us to God in the day to day. Psalm 36 is a gift to those sleepwalking through life, adrift on the currents of this world. In it we are awakened to sin’s deceit as we treasure God’s steadfast love.

The Rich Man and Lazarus

Luke [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/LukeSermonSeries_WebBanner.jpg] This morning we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we  learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the nations. Today, we reach one of the most tragic passages in all of the Bible. It reminds us that our heart’s trust is directly connected to the fruit of our lives—that is, this life and the one to come.

Jesus on Marriage and Divorce

Luke [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/LukeSermonSeries_WebBanner.jpg] Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the nations. Today, we circle back to zoom in on 16:18, where Jesus mentions marriage and divorce. These issues are so important that it is only wise to pause to be reminded of the wonder of marriage.
