    Forgiven Much | Friends of God Part 2 | November 01, 2026

    What happens when someone with a sinful past encounters Jesus in a room full of judgment? In Luke 7:36–50, a woman known for her sin enters a Pharisee's home and pours expensive perfume on Jesus' feet. While everyone else sees her reputation, Jesus reveals something far greater: the transforming power of forgiveness. In this message, "Forgiven Much," from our Friends of God series, we discover how remembering God's incredible mercy deepens our love for Him, renews our joy, and inspires us to extend His grace to others. Have we become so familiar with Christianity that we've forgotten the wonder of our own salvation? Being a friend of God isn't simply about knowing more about Him. It's about knowing His heart, walking in obedience, and helping others experience the same forgiveness we've received. Scripture: Luke 7:36–50 Support the show

    Don't Get Tired | MIDWEEK | October 28, 2026

    Have you ever grown tired of trying, waiting, or doing what’s right without seeing the results? In this message, we’re reminded that we will reap a harvest in God’s timing if we don’t give up. Through the principle of sowing and reaping, we discover that our actions, words, attitudes, time, and resources are all seeds. What we sow matters, where we sow matters, and the harvest may reach further than we can see. As we live generously, walk in the Spirit, and faithfully plant the right seeds, we can trust God with the results. Whether you’re believing for a breakthrough in your own life or sowing into what God is doing through Cornerstone, don’t grow weary in doing good. Keep sowing. Keep trusting. Don’t give up. The harvest will come at just the right time. 📖 Scripture: Galatians 6:7–9; 2 Corinthians 9:10 Support the show

    From Children to Friends | Friends of God Part 1 | October 25, 2026

    What does it really mean to be a friend of God? Is it possible to know God as your Father while growing into a deeper friendship with Him? In this first message of our new series, Friends of God, we explore how our relationship with God is meant to grow and mature throughout our lives. Through John 15:14-15, John 1:12, and the examples of Abraham and Moses, discover what Scripture teaches about our identity as children of God and the invitation to become His friends. We'll explore three essential characteristics of friendship with God: Relational Connection – Knowing God personally through prayer, worship, and His Word. Obedience – Honoring God through reverence, trust, and obedience. Partnership – Moving beyond what God can do for us to how we can participate in His mission. Being a child of God is a gift made possible through Jesus Christ. Growing in friendship with Him is a lifelong journey of knowing His heart and living for His purposes. Join Cornerstone Church for "From Children to Friends" and discover how to grow deeper in your relationship with God. Scriptures: John 15:14-15, John 1:12, Isaiah 41:8, Exodus 33:11, Romans 8:17 Support the show

    What Makes A REAL Man Of God? Pastors Get Honest... | Ascend the Hill w/ Jeremy Austill EP 204

    What does it really mean to be a man of God? Is spiritual strength about appearing tough, or is it found in prayer, humility, serving others, and bold faith in Jesus Christ? In this special live episode of the Ascend the Hill Podcast, recorded at our Men's Encounter weekend, we have an honest, powerful conversation about what it takes to grow as a godly man. Together, they tackle real questions every Christian man faces: How do you build a consistent, meaningful prayer life? What do you do when God seems silent or your prayers go unanswered? How do you develop a servant's heart and stop living for yourself? Why do some men struggle to express themselves in worship? How does the Holy Spirit give us the courage to live boldly for Christ? From personal struggles and powerful testimonies to biblical wisdom and practical encouragement, this conversation challenges men to go beyond simply attending church and start actively living out their faith. Being a man of God isn't about looking strong. It's about surrendering to the One who makes you strong. Whether you're a husband, father, pastor, ministry leader, or simply a man seeking to grow closer to Jesus, this conversation will encourage you to deepen your relationship with God and lead with faith. Subscribe to Ascend the Hill for more biblical teaching, spiritual encouragement, and conversations that help you grow closer to God.

    14 Years in India: A Missionary's Story of Faith, Fear, and Surrender | Plant the Flag Ep. 4

    What happens when following God's calling leads you into danger, uncertainty, and unexpected hardship? In this powerful episode of Ascend the Hill, we sit down with Matt, who spent 14 years serving as a missionary in India alongside his wife and their children. Matt shares incredible stories from the mission field, including encounters with spiritual warfare, dangerous situations, and a life-threatening heart attack that became a defining moment in his walk with God. But his testimony doesn't end there. After years of ministry overseas, Matt found himself working in asphalt construction back in America, wrestling with questions about God's calling, his purpose, and what faithfulness looks like when life doesn't go according to plan. Through it all, Matt discovered a powerful truth: God is still at work, even when we don't understand what He's doing. In this conversation, we explore trusting God through suffering, serving wherever we're needed, finding purpose in unexpected seasons, and surrendering our plans to His will. Whether you're navigating uncertainty, questioning your calling, or simply seeking encouragement in your faith, this conversation will challenge you to trust God and remain faithful wherever He leads.

    The Joy of Community | Joy Part 4 | October 11, 2026

    What if the joy you've been searching for is found in the relationships God designed you to have? Jesus promised that our joy could overflow, and in John 15:10–13, He revealed a powerful connection between joy, love, and Christian community. In this message, The Joy of Community, we discover why meaningful relationships with other believers are essential to our spiritual health, how the enemy works to create division and isolation, and why giving love rather than simply receiving it is a key to experiencing lasting joy. You'll learn how to build authentic Christian friendships, overcome offense and unforgiveness, heal from relational hurt, and experience the joy that comes from being part of God's family. God never intended for you to walk through life alone. The Church isn't just a place to attend. It's a family where we grow, love, serve, and heal together. Support the show

    I've Got Joy | Joy Part 1 | September 20, 2026

    Are you truly living with joy? Biblical joy is more than laughter, happiness, or having everything go your way. It’s a deep sense of fulfillment, satisfaction, and peace that remains even when life is difficult. In this message, “I’ve Got Joy,” we discover what the Bible teaches about cultivating joy in our everyday lives. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit, but we also have a choice in whether we cultivate it or bury it through what we focus on, what we say, how we respond, and where we place our trust. Discover how the joy of the Lord gives us strength, helps us endure difficult seasons, changes our perspective, impacts the people around us, and ultimately flows from knowing God personally. No matter what season you’re walking through, God desires for joy to become the steady soundtrack of your life. Support the show
