   Let Go of the Things that Weigh You Down by Russell Smith + Professor Von Tootenberg

   The Science of Life | Russell Smith & Professor Von Tootenberg On this episode of Sundays at Cornerstone, special guest Russell Smith joins us for Fall Family Fun Sunday with Professor Von Tootenberg. Together, they explore Jesus’ promise in Matthew 11:28 to give rest to those who are weary and carrying heavy burdens. In Mark 5:21–43, Jairus comes to Jesus desperate for his daughter to be healed, while a woman who has suffered for twelve years reaches out in faith. Jesus stops to hear her story, calls her “daughter,” and urges Jairus to keep believing even after he receives the news he feared most. For kids and adults alike, this message is an invitation to bring what weighs on us to Jesus and trust Him with it. Sundays at Cornerstone is the sermon podcast of Cornerstone Assembly in Augusta, Georgia. Follow the show for more messages, or join us in person Sundays at 10:30 AM.

   We Get to Lead by Phil Stanley

   WE GET TO LEAD | Pastor Phil Stanley | Cornerstone Assembly What if the greatest way to honor your pastor isn't simply to appreciate the ministry they do, but to embrace the ministry God has called YOU to do? The Church was never designed to be a few people doing all the ministry while everyone else watches. God has called every believer to take their place, use their gifts, and participate in His mission. In this special Pastor Appreciation Sunday message, WE GET TO LEAD, Pastor Phil Stanley explores Exodus 18 and 1 Peter 2:9 to remind us that leadership isn't about having a title, holding a position, or standing on a platform. It's about taking responsibility for what God has entrusted to you. Moses couldn't carry the responsibility alone, and neither should our pastors. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a people called to serve together. In this message, discover: Why God never intended pastors to carry the ministry alone. How every believer has a unique calling and responsibility. Why leadership is about influence and service, not titles. What it means to be part of God's royal priesthood. How we can take ownership of the mission of the Church. The greatest way to honor those who lead us is to join them in the mission God has given us. It's time to take our place and serve. We don't have to lead. WE GET TO LEAD! 📖 Scripture: Exodus 18:13–24 | 1 Peter 2:9–10 | Ephesians 4:11–12 🎙️ Sundays at Cornerstone Thank you for joining us for another message from Cornerstone Assembly in Augusta, Georgia!

   From Strongholds to Strong Foundations

   Have you ever struggled with a thought, habit, fear, or behavior that you just couldn't seem to overcome? What if the greatest battle you're facing isn't happening around you, but within your own mind? In this powerful message, "From Strongholds to Strong Foundations," Pastor Stephen explores how spiritual strongholds are formed, how the enemy uses lies to keep us trapped, and how the truth of God's Word can lead us into lasting freedom. Using 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, Pastor Stephen reminds us that the weapons of our warfare have divine power to demolish strongholds. Whether we're battling negative thought patterns, destructive habits, fear, shame, or the pain of our past, we don't have to remain prisoners of the things that have held us captive. Throughout this message, we'll discover: How strongholds are built one thought and one decision at a time. Why recognizing the enemy's lies is the first step toward freedom. The importance of taking ownership of our thoughts, choices, and actions. How renewing our minds through God's Word transforms our lives. Why Jesus is stronger than any stronghold we face! Freedom isn't simply about escaping what has held us back. It's about building our lives on the unshakable foundation of Jesus Christ. The question isn't whether God has the power to break your stronghold. The question is whether you're ready to surrender it to Him. 📖 Key Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, Galatians 5:17–21, Romans 12:2, Colossians 3:1–10, and 2 Corinthians 3:16–18. 🙏 We'd love to hear from you! What truth from God's Word has helped you overcome a stronghold in your life?

   A Tale of Two Shepherds by Phil Stanley

   A TALE OF TWO SHEPHERDS | Psalm 23 Everyone is being led somewhere. The question is: which shepherd are you following? Psalm 23 gives us one of Scripture’s clearest pictures of what life looks like when the Lord is our Shepherd. He provides what we need. He gives us rest. He restores our souls. He walks with us through the valley. He prepares a table for us. And He pursues us with goodness and mercy. But every promise of the Good Shepherd has a counterfeit. The false shepherd tells us we need more. He tells us to keep running. He tells us to numb what hurts. He convinces us to stay trapped by fear. He fills us with things that never satisfy. And then he whispers that we are too broken or too far gone to ever be loved. In A Tale of Two Shepherds, Pastor Phil Stanley walks through Psalm 23 and challenges us to recognize the voices leading our lives. Maybe the question isn’t whether you have a shepherd. Maybe the question is which one you’ve been following. This week: • Audit the voice. • Choose rest. • Get connected. The Good Shepherd is still calling, still leading, and still pursuing. 📖 Scripture: Psalm 23 🎙️ Sundays at Cornerstone 📍 Cornerstone Assembly | Augusta, Georgia If this message encouraged you, LIKE the video, SHARE it with someone who needs it, and COMMENT below: Which part of Psalm 23 speaks to you most right now?

   More Than a Fan by Christopher Reed

   What if we were as passionate about following Jesus as we are about cheering for our favorite team? In “More Than a Fan,” Christopher Reed challenges us to look beyond simply belonging and discover what real biblical community looks like. Walking through Acts 2:42–47 and John 15, Christopher shows us that true community begins with personal communion with Jesus—and from that relationship flows fellowship, generosity, discipleship, and a life that points others toward Christ. We weren’t called to simply be fans of Jesus. We were called to follow Him, abide in Him, love one another, and make disciples. Love God. Love others. Make disciples. Where are you in the process of looking like, loving like, and living like Jesus? 📖 Scripture: Acts 2:42–47; John 15:4–5 🎙️ Message: More Than a Fan 🎤 Christopher Reed | UGA Chi Alpha ⛪ Cornerstone Assembly | Augusta, Georgia If this message encouraged you, LIKE this video, SHARE it with someone who needs to hear it, and COMMENT below to let us know what God is speaking to you.

   Holiness Is a Direction by Heather Stanley

   Holiness isn’t about pretending to be perfect—it’s about paying attention to the direction your life is headed. In this message from Sundays at Cornerstone, Pastor Heather Stanley looks at the life of Samson and the danger of continuing down the wrong road simply because God has still been gracious enough to use us. Samson was called, gifted, and empowered by God, but his gifts could not protect him from the consequences of his choices. The good news is that when we miss the turn, God offers us something better than condemnation: rerouting. Repentance isn’t simply feeling bad about where we’ve been; it’s changing where we’re going. In this message, we’ll talk about what it means to: Check your direction — Just because you’re not there yet doesn’t mean you’re not headed there. Own your choices — The enemy is real, but the devil isn’t responsible for every mess in our lives. Guard what God cleans — You can’t continually ask God for a clean heart while choosing the same things that keep making it dirty. Sometimes what we call spiritual warfare is actually the harvest of decisions we’ve made. But no matter how far down the wrong road you’ve traveled, God’s grace can still give you a new direction. Holiness isn’t perfection. It’s direction. 📖 Scriptures include Judges 16:4–6, Proverbs 4:26, Acts 3:19, 1 Peter 5:8, Genesis 3:11–13, Galatians 6:7, Psalm 51:10, Psalm 139:23–24, and Proverbs 4:23.

   What’s on Your Altar? Part 2: The God Who Answers by Phil Stanley

   In “The God Who Answers,” Part 2 of What’s on Your Altar?, Pastor Phil Stanley preaches from 1 Kings 18 and the showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. Before the fire fell, Elijah repaired the altar, prepared the sacrifice, and called the people back to the one true God. This message is a reminder that God still answers when His people return to Him in surrender and faith. 📖 Scripture: 1 Kings 18 ⛪ Cornerstone Assembly of God | Augusta, GA If this sermon encourages you, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear it. #Elijah #1Kings18 #MountCarmel #TheGodWhoAnswers #WhatsOnYourAltar #Sermon #ChristianSermon

   What's on Your Altar? The God We Make by Phil Stanley

   We live in a world built around customization. Our playlists, entertainment, news, and even our coffee are designed to give us more of what we like and less of what we don’t. But what happens when we start doing the same thing with God? In “The God We Make,” the first message in the What’s on Your Altar? series, Pastor Phil Stanley examines the danger of counterfeit worship—when we keep God’s name but begin changing the terms of our surrender. Through three moments in Israel’s history, we see three counterfeit altars: • The Altar of Impatience — when we trade God’s timing for our own • The Altar of Control — when we trade God’s sovereignty for our own • The Altar of Compromise — when we trade God’s righteousness for a standard we can manage Every altar demands a sacrifice. The counterfeit altar still asks for sacrifice—it just lets us decide what goes on it. Authentic worship asks, “What does God require?” Counterfeit worship asks, “What am I willing to give?” The question isn’t only, “What’s on your altar?” The harder question may be: Whose altar is it?

   Prophetic Madness by Mike Barr

   Prophetic Madness | Mike Barr What happens when God gives a word, places a call on your life, and then empowers you to carry it out? In “Prophetic Madness,” Mike Barr teaches from 2 Kings 9 and explores the connection between the Word, the Call, the Oil, and the Fire. God’s Word reveals His truth, purpose, and mission. His call requires a response. His anointing provides the power for the assignment. And His fire—the zeal of God—gives us the passion to finish what He has started. This message is a challenge not simply to hear what God is saying, but to respond to it with obedience and dependence on His power. The Word reveals. The Call requires a response. The Oil empowers. The Fire fuels the mission. Thanks for watching Sundays at Cornerstone, the weekly sermon podcast from Cornerstone Assembly.

    Don't Take the Bait by Pastor Heather Stanley

    In “Don’t Take the Bait,” Pastor Heather Stanley walks through James 1 and the story of David to show us how temptation really works—and why the enemy wants us focused on the bait while forgetting about the hook.This message challenges us to recognize our own vulnerabilities, understand that yesterday’s victories don’t make us immune to today’s temptations, and stop asking, “How close can I get without crossing the line?”But following Jesus is about more than simply trying harder to resist. God wants to change our appetite, free us from shame, and break the cycles that keep pulling us back into the same traps.The trap can be broken.The appetite can change.The cycle can stop.If this message encourages you, take a moment to like, share, and subscribe so more people can hear the hope of Jesus.And remember:You belong.You matter.You’re loved.Welcome to Cornerstone Assembly.

    Moving Forward - Pastor Phil Stanley

    Sometimes you don’t realize how much junk you’ve been carrying until God starts asking you to move forward.In “Moving Forward,” Pastor Phil Stanley walks through James 4 and challenges us to take an honest look at the things that keep us stuck—pride, conflict, unforgiveness, comparison, and the baggage we’ve gotten comfortable carrying.Moving forward with God means more than changing circumstances. It means allowing Him to deal with what’s happening in our hearts.We have to identify what needs to go, humble ourselves before God, stop inspecting everyone else’s junk, forgive what needs to be released, and draw near to Jesus.Put the junk down.Draw near to God.Move forward.If this message encourages you, be sure to like, share, and subscribe so more people can hear the hope of Jesus.And remember:You belong.You matter.You’re loved.Welcome to Cornerstone Assembly.
