The Cornerstone Sermon

Talking Points: Choosing Sides

September 8, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Roger Clayton • John 13:33–35

At the very basic level, our political system divides us because of differing views of how the country should be run. It's easy to feel like our view is the right one, but the person beside you is more precious to God than your political view. How can we have opinions and hold fast to them, while still maintaining the grace and respect of those who sit on the other side of the aisle?

The Cornerstone Sermon

September 22, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Roger Clayton • Galatians 3:27–29

There are some things that we need to reclaim from our church history. The amount of faith present in the Early Church was palpable and was used to change the entire world. This change was motivated by a Crucified King, instructed by a handful of uneducated men, and eventually toppled the greatest Empire in human history. It was the unity and diversity of the early church that shocked, intrigued, and converted the ancient world. The Modern Church should as well.

The Cornerstone Sermon

September 1, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Roger Clayton • John 17:1, John 17:9–21

Jesus' prayer is for a special and amazing kind of unity. In this season of political talking heads, debate after debate, headlines, mudslinging, and dividing, how can we be a people who live into the prayer request that Jesus made for all those who would follow Him? How can we make sure that the Church is truly a 'city on a hill' that points others towards a Christ-like society? Your favorite candidate will win or lose based on how our country votes this November. However, the church will win or lose based on our behavior between now and then.
