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.

O Lord, Deliver My Life

Psalms: Songs for Life (2025) [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Songs_for_Life_2025_f2_NC_1920x550.png] We continue our 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 6 is a psalm of David, and the first of the penitential psalms. In it, we are reminded that, in Christ, God hears the penitent pleas of his sin-stricken people, and delivers them.

God Knows Your Heart

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, the Pharisees ridicule Jesus for his take on money (see 16:1-13). He responds by calling them, and us, out of self-justification into a heart-level transformed life, in Him.

Do Catholics and Evangelicals Believe the Same Gospel?

Reformation Sunday [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/ReformationSunday_2015_1920x550_CS.png] On this Reformation Sunday, we are briefly pausing our study in the Gospel of Luke to consider whether the Protestant Reformation is over. Sadly, the answer is “no.” The Reformation continues. Concerns with Catholicism remain largely unchanged. So, how can we help? By protecting, upholding, and spreading the only authoritative, God-given, Apostolic gospel that saves.
