Jesus, who never sinned, took on our guilt so we could be considered righteous before God. This righteousness is not something we earn through our efforts — it’s a gift we receive through obedient faith. But it’s not static — it calls us to live in a way that reflects God’s holiness, mercy, and truth.  Read More

You're Invited: The Kingdom is Open - But Will You Come?
by Matthew Allen on July 19th, 2025
This Sunday at Cornerstone, we’ll be diving into one of Jesus’ most powerful and sobering parables — the story of a royal wedding feast from Matthew 22:1-14. It’s a scene full of joy, honor, rejection, grace, and ultimately, a call to respond. Imagine receiving a personal invitation to a royal celebration — a banquet in honor of the king’s son.
