An in-depth discussion of 1 Chronicles 24:20-29:30.

Most people pursue things that bring them happiness or pleasure in this lifetime: accomplishments, awards, degrees, rank, money, likes and followers. But at the end of the day, nothing compares to knowing Jesus! In Philippians 3, Paul wrote about all his many accomplishments and accolades that he achieved in his lifetime, but he said it was all “rubbish” (dung) compared to the excellence of knowing Christ! Do you know Jesus? There’s a difference between knowing “about” Jesus and knowing Him personally. Pastor Gary explains this in today’s study titled, “Nothing Compares to Jesus!”

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 22-24.

Did you know that God is revealing Himself to you on a daily basis? In Psalm 19, David explains how the Lord reveals Himself predominantly in two ways-through creation and His Word. God’s voice compels David to respond by helping him recognize his own sinful condition. Do you recognize God's voice when He speaks? Join us as Pastor Austin unpacks Psalm 19.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 20:4-21:30.

God calls us to live our faith out loud for others to see and hear about Jesus. Paul reminds us that we live in a “crooked and perverse generation,” and today's study from Philippians 2 shows us that it is for that reason we must shine the light of Jesus in this dark world.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 17:15-20:3.

All relationships take work. Whether in the church or outside the church—in marriages and families, and between friends, co-workers, and neighbors—wherever you have two sinners, you have the potential for disagreement and conflict. Our human default is selfishness which leads to division. But in Philippians 2, Paul tells us that unity comes from humility, and humility comes from following the example of Christ. Follow along in today’s study as we look at Christ's example to encourage us to walk in His humility.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 16:8-17:14.

Have you ever thought about heaven and wanted to go there sooner than later? Paul wrote in Philippians 1:21, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” He didn’t have a “death wish” with dark thoughts of wanting to escape this world; he simply longed for heaven and was ready to go whenever God called him home. Sometimes the weight of this world can cause our heavy hearts to long for our eternal reward. Find out more about heaven in today’s study with Pastor Gary Hamrick.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 16.

Antisemitism and anti-Israel views are creeping into Christian and conservative communities. Pastor Gary Hamrick, along with guests Pastor Rob McCoy, Samuel Smadja, and former Congressman Bob McEwen, delivers a Biblical response to replacement theology, US support for Israel, the October 7th attacks, and the takes from Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Watch this timely message to understand the real issues and stand firm in truth!

Sometimes we think that God is absent during our difficult circumstances. Paul was “in chains” in prison in Rome for preaching the Gospel, yet he wrote about how much joy he had! How can someone in prison have such joy? Answer: because his joy was in Jesus and he understood that, regardless of his circumstances, God was accomplishing His divine purposes. That is why Paul would write in Philippians 1:13, “my chains are in Christ.” In today’s study, Pastor Gary shares how we can have joy in our difficult circumstances too with the right eternal perspective.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 14-15.

When we come to faith in Jesus Christ, God does not abandon us. On the contrary, He sends His Spirit to dwell in us and abide with us to help us run the race with perseverance. God is as much at work in bringing us to salvation as He is at work in keeping us saved! But it’s not all on Him. We have a responsibility to “work out our salvation” too. Pastor Gary explains this encouraging promise in today’s study from Philippians 1:6.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 11-13.

Join us for our annual Q&A Service with Gary, Tyler and Austin Hamrick.

An in-depth study into the Magi.

Christmas is too important to breeze by. And yet many people will walk past the nativity story with its good and joyful news of God coming to man in favor of the world’s trinkets and distractions. It is time we stopped and realized what the Christmas story is all about: the Son of God entering our world to be with us, bleed for us, and rescue us.

In Luke 2, Simeon prophesied that baby Jesus was destined for the fall and rising of many. Jesus is a very polarizing figure. He is the most divisive person in human history, attracting some and repelling others like a magnet. How will you respond to the person of Jesus today?

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 9-10.

A day of thanking God for what He has accomplished through the generosity of His church.

A special Wednesday night service celebrating what God has done in the lives of people from Cornerstone Chapel.

The Bible tells us that we are in a spiritual battle—an unseen war in the heavenly realm that rages over us. Satan will try to tempt, discourage, deceive, confuse, and harm us. He and his demonic principalities want to destroy our marriages, our families, our churches, and our very lives. But in Ephesians 6, Paul explains how we can take a stand against the Enemy and trust the Lord to fight for us. In today’s study, Pastor Gary unpacks this passage and then prays over all those who are under spiritual attack.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 6-9.

God gives us instructions in the Bible for how to experience the most harmony and unity within a marriage, a family, and the workplace. But we must first understand submission to the Lord before we can “submit to one another in the fear of the Lord” (Ephesians 5:21). How we relate with and respond to one another depends on our own walk with the Lord. Follow along in Ephesians 5–6 as Pastor Gary unpacks Biblical truth for wives, husbands, children, parents, and co-workers.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 2-6.

Christianity is not only about what we believe, but also about how we behave. If we are truly followers of Christ, we should live out our faith in a way that glorifies Him. In the second half of Ephesians, Paul instructs us how to figuratively “walk out our faith.” Five times in Ephesians 4–5, Paul tells us specific ways to walk as followers of Christ. Pastor Gary discusses these five ways in today’s teaching entitled, “Putting Feet to Your Faith.”

Do you need prayer today? In Ephesians 3, Paul prays for Believers. He asks God for four things on our behalf: (1) that we would be strengthened spiritually, (2) that Christ would “dwell” in our hearts, (3) that we would comprehend the expanse of God’s love for us, and (4) that we would be filled with the fullness of God. In this study, Pastor Gary breaks down Ephesians 3 and prays these four points over us.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 1-2.

We are headed into an AI-dominated world. Some might think that statement an exaggeration, but if you turn on the news, you’ll quickly notice that artificial intelligence is everywhere you look and negatively impacting the next generation. In today’s message, Pastor Austin addresses this subject directly; encouraging the church to think Biblically about the rise of AI, its current impact on the modern church, and the way it may be used in the future deception that is to come.

An in-depth study of the mystery of the time of lawlessness in the Bible.

Pastor Garid Beeler teaches from 1 Peter 1 on finding living hope in the midst of suffering and trials. Even when faith is tested, God is refining and strengthening His people for His glory. Be encouraged to stand firm, resist the enemy, and trust that every trial has purpose — shaping you more into the image of Christ.

An in-depth study of the mystery of the rapture.

We are all born dead. Does that sound like a contradiction? It’s not. This paradox is the theme of Ephesians 2: that we are all born physically alive but spiritually dead, and that the only way we are made spiritually alive is by trusting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. He takes our dead lives and makes them alive! Paul tells us there are three things that work to keep us dead, and three things that work to make us alive. Find out in today’s study as Pastor Gary shares a message entitled, “Dead or Alive?”

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 23:30-25:20.

We are living in a world of identity confusion. Our culture is wrestling with questions about sexuality, biology, and definitions of “male” and “female.” Would you be surprised to learn that this is nothing new? Ancient cultures wrestled with the same issues, particularly in the city of Ephesus. When Paul stepped into Ephesus to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, he encountered the same chaos that our culture is experiencing today. In response, he wrote Ephesians 1 to remind us Christians of our identity in Christ, so that we can know who we are and whose we are! Only then will we be able to deliver the Gospel to this identity-confused world.

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 22:1-23:30.

There is a principle in life that the Bible teaches called the law of “sowing and reaping.” It’s particularly true for Christians who have a choice about whether they will feed their spirit or their flesh. The spirit is that part within us that is redeemed and eternal; the flesh is unredeemed and temporary. The spirit wants to please the Lord, and the flesh wants to gratify the sinful nature. If we nurture our spiritual nature we will reap eternal life. But if we nurture our fleshly nature, we will reap destruction. Follow along today as Pastor Gary teaches the Biblical principle of sowing and reaping and how it applies to different aspects of life.

When a person becomes a Christian, a battle begins between the flesh and the spirit. The flesh is that part of our lives that desires sinful things; the spirit is that part of our lives that wants to glorify God. Our flesh always wants to dominate, but the Bible tells us to die to self and live in the spirit. Paul writes about this spiritual battle in Galatians 5, and he gives us three practical ways we can win the war within. Follow along in today’s study as Pastor Gary explains this battle of the flesh and spirit.

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 20:11-21:26.

After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many are feeling grief, anger, and sadness. Paul asked the Galatians, “Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16). Unfortunately, when we live the truth and tell the truth, many will see us as their enemy. Jesus said that some will even hate us (John 15:18-19). Nevertheless, God calls us to love people, to be bold ambassadors of the truth, and to be unashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s time for the church to be the voice of Biblical truth to a dark and evil world!

There are many differences among people—including ethnic, socio-economic, and biological differences. But that does not matter when it comes to our standing in Christ. Paul says that all Believers are ONE in Christ. But the culture views things differently. The culture either denies our differences altogether or exploits our differences to divide people through class warfare and race-baiting. But the church should be the most diverse and unified group of any people on the planet. Join us for today’s Bible study, “One in Christ.”

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 19-20:11.

The Old Testament Law tells us that anyone who violates just one of God’s commandments is guilty of breaking them all, and that every “lawbreaker” is under a curse. But the good news is that Jesus Christ bore the curse intended for us when He was nailed to a tree! Jesus reversed the curse! Follow along in today’s Bible study as Pastor Gary shares the importance of faith over law and how we are justified by faith alone in Christ alone.

Sometimes Christians are reluctant to be bold in their faith for fear of what others may think. Even the apostle Peter briefly fell into this trap, and Paul had to confront him about his hypocrisy. "Quiet Christianity" is when you act one way around some people, and a different way around other people who do not share your beliefs. In today's study, Pastor Gary gives us steps to overcome "quiet Christianity" so that we can be bold and courageous in our faith.

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 17:34-18:37.

Many well-meaning people believe that being a good person is good enough to get to heaven. But the truth is, there is only one way—salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone! Jesus is the only way to heaven. In the book of Galatians, Paul addresses this important truth and says that any person or demon who tells you a “different gospel” should be accursed! Join Pastor Gary for today’s study from Galatians 1.

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 16:17-17:33.

Join us as Ryan Ries, co-founder of The Whosoevers Movement, teaches about the battle between the flesh and the Spirit. Through real-life stories, Biblical truth, and a call to action, he challenges Believers to walk in the light, resist the enemy, and live fully surrendered to Jesus. This message will inspire you to trust God, break free from strongholds, and step boldly into your calling.
