Sermons - Cornerstone Church of Ames

You will stand before Jesus one day. The only question is: what happens next? In Mark’s sermon, we see that judgment is real, but every warning carries a glimmer of hope: an invitation to run to Christ while there’s still time.

The difference between a faithful life and a wasted one isn’t opportunity, it’s stewardship. In Jacob’s sermon, we’re reminded that God has entrusted each of us with something, and faithfulness is choosing to steward it with urgency instead of burying it in comfort.

Are you more like the shepherd who searches… or the Pharisee who judges? In Mark’s sermon, he contrasts the self-righteous heart that looks down on sinners with the heart of God, who relentlessly seeks the lost and rejoices when they are found.

Would you still follow Jesus if it cost you everything? In this sermon, Simeon walks through Jesus’ parable of the hidden treasure to show that following Christ costs everything, yet brings greater joy than anything this world can offer.

Small doesn’t mean insignificant. In this sermon on the parable of the mustard seed, Mark shows that the kingdom of God begins hidden and small, yet grows with unstoppable power, in the world and in us.

If the seed isn’t the problem… what if the problem is our soil? In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus confronts us with the condition of our own hearts, calling us to move from hardness, shallowness, or distraction into humble, fruitful soil that responds to his word with lasting transformation.

Jesus doesn’t make bad people better. He makes dead people alive. In this sermon, Mark unpacks how Jesus takes us from alienated to adopted and calls us to keep believing all the way to the end.

We were not made for more stuff. We were made for the weight of Christ. In Tony’s sermon, we see three glorious realities about Jesus: his power over everything, his promise to reconcile us, and his place as first in our lives.

What if you designed your life around God’s calling, not just out of ambition? Mark's message guides through calling so you can live intentionally and faithfully with how you spend your time, energy, and life.
