Ten Lepers

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 neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world. Today, we are encouraged to not settle for God’s gifts when we can have God himself, with his gifts thrown in, no matter how far away we are.

The Most Powerful Argument Against Abortion

New Year Essentials 2026 [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/NYE_2026_1920x550.png] This morning we are concluding our annual sermon series, New Year Essentials. These sermons address subjects to which we must repeatedly return for the glory of God and the transformation of our lives, individually and corporately. These are different sermons, taking different angles, on issues we need to come back to again and-again. Today, we ask: What is most powerful argument against abortion? Answer: That an unborn child is a unique person, not a mere clump of cells.

What is the Old Testament About?
