This day in history is known as Palm Sunday where Jesus triumphantly enters Jerusalem on a donkey fully aware that by the end of the week he will be crucified. Pastor Tony continues his series on Who is God/Who am I with a look at how God sovereignly planned His own Son’s death in order to bring salvation to all who believe. We will see how God’s plan cannot be thwarted, but our choices are fully our own and we are responsible for them.

Pastor Tony brings another installment of the Who is God/Who am I series. This week he introduces the important topic of the sovereignty of God as it relates to human responsibility. In these unprecedented times, using the books of Daniel and Esther, Tony suggests that by God’s sovereign will we have been placed just where God wants us to minister to others.

Pastor Tony continues in the Who is God/Who Am I series, covering part 2 of “Our Incomparable God”. Given the current world situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, just what have we become focused on to get through this? God is sovereign and is still in control. We must ask ourselves “Do we really trust Him to do what’s best for us during these uncertain times?” or “Are we constraining Him due to our limited understanding of what He wants to do?”

Since we did not have a service this week, I wanted to bring a short word of encouragement to you from the Scriptures. It is only 14 minutes long, which is the shortest message I have ever preached. 🙂

Pastor Tony continues the Who is God/Who am I series and covers the incomparable forgiveness, rescue, promises power, tenderness of God. He is much bigger than anything that comes against us in our lives, even if brought upon by ourselves. Our Good Shepherd is merciful and gracious to us and we must remember that sometimes we might need a graceful correction. Just how does our God affect you and your relationship with Him?

Pastor Tony continues the Who is God/who am I series. He describes king Uzziah and how his pride and arrogance derailed his lifetime of good ministry. When king Uzziah died, Isaiah saw the splendor of God’s holiness but was terrified because he understood the fate of those who gaze upon God’s holiness. While mankind is very unholy by nature, God Himself is the One who makes us qualified to stand before Him and who qualifies us to serve in ministry.

Pastor Tony continues the Who is God/Who Am I series by describing the importance of having the “God-breathed Word” (Scriptures) in our lives. Scripture is God’s way for us to get to know Him personally, as well as having dialog with our brothers and sisters. God speaks to us in many ways, but if we don’t spend enough time in the Word, we may be shortchanging what God really wants to say to us.

Pastor Tony continues the series of Who God is and who we are. He explores the infinitesimal magnificence of our Lord through His creation, as David did as a lowly shepherd. Though we are unrecognizable in His total realm, and we cannot even begin to understand His greatness, He gave His all to include us in His kingdom. Do we realize that mankind is a key part of His creation? Where have we cut ourselves short in our understanding of God as it relates to us?

Pastor Tony starts another series that will explore Who God is and who we are. He covers this in 7 questions, presenting the Christian worldview as well as the naturalistic (atheistic) view – the answers are very different.
-Who is God?
-Who am I?
-What is the problem?
-What is the solution?
-What is right and wrong?
-What is my purpose?
-What does the future hold?
Do you see evidence that society is focusing more on naturalism? Do you see the difference in how your understanding of God affects how you live your life?

Pastor Tony completes the two-part series on the purpose of Cornerstone Community Church – “We exist to glorify God by being used by God to lead people from their unbelief to be fully mature followers of Jesus Christ.” The focus being #ForNorthTahoe – ministering to the local community of both people that don’t know Jesus and those that do. Tony then covered practical scriptural application on how this will be done, including the beginnings of the Cornerstone deacon team. The remainder of his message covered the various events focused on #ForNorthTahoe during 2020. All of these events need support – please consider volunteering.
