New Year Essentials 2025 [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/DCC_EmailBanner_NYE.png] We are returning to an annual sermon series we refer to as our New Year Essentials. These sermons address subjects to which we must repeatedly return for the glory of God and the transformation of lives. These are different sermons, taking different angles, on issues we need to come back to again-and-again. Today, we do a heart-thrilling flyover of the entire Bible and ask, “This year, what story will most shape me? The story of the world or the story of God?” Audio [http://media.downtowncornerstone.org/new_year_essentials/20250112_what_is_the_bible_about.mp3] | Notes [https://media.downtowncornerstone.org/new_year_essentials/20250112_what_is_the_bible_about.pdf] | Genesis 1 - Revelation 22 [/scripture//-]

Hebrews 11 [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/DCC_Hebrews11slide_Directory_1920x550.jpg] This morning, we continue our series in Hebrews 11, Living Forward to a Better Country, where the author of Hebrews calls us to faithful endurance through the portraits of ancient believers. Today, we look at a young David who is set apart by faith, rather than the fear of his countrymen, when beholding a fearful enemy. From our text we will learn how to conquer faith-faltering fear through entrusting ourselves to David’s Deliverer.

Hebrews 11 [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/DCC_Hebrews11slide_Directory_1920x550.jpg] Today we continue our series in Hebrews 11, Living Forward to a Better Country, where the author of Hebrews calls us to faithful endurance through the portraits of ancient believers. Today, we look at Jephthah, the last of the judges in Hebrews 11:32, to learn from his faith in God’s sovereign deliverance, considering how our faith in Christ’s deliverance from sin leads us to persevere amidst our trials.

Luke [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/LukeSermonSeries_WebBanner.jpg] 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 a people of his own from among the nations-even us. Today, in 10:17-24, Jesus reminds us that God is after our deepest, longest lasting, most satisfying joy. Is He yours?

In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations- even us. Today, in 10:1-16, Jesus reveals that when it comes to his unfolding mission, the harvest is ripe. Therefore, God sends us as prayer-filled harvesters amidst a hostile world- and the stakes couldn’t be greater.
