As Christians we are called to a more excellent way of living. If we call ourselves Christians – followers of Jesus Christ – than we are called to live a life of Love. Without Love we are nothing; but with Love we are everything (1 Corinthians 13:1-13; 1 John 4:7-14). These are not simple words […]

Showdown in Ephesus II
Disagreeing is something that we all don’t always do the right way – in love. Often our discourse dissolves into name calling or worse. But, we as Christians are called to do so much better and we see this all played out in the struggles of the early church (Acts 19:23-41). We are reminded that […]
Ok, you’re in, but…
The early church faced internal debates (Acts 15:1-41), namely whether Christians must first meet the laws of Moses before being recognized as a Christian. This question, what does it take to be a Christian, is still argued about today. We create barriers to finding Christ’s love through hypocrisy, name calling and even searching for happiness […]
Mission|Opposition
Next in the story of the early church (Acts 13), Barnabas and Paul set out on a mission trip. From their journey, we see our own call to serve others and to witness for Jesus. We see how they responded to opposition, and are called to embrace opposition and witness in all of our life.
Mother’s Day
Wes Baldwin returns to share a message on Mother’s Day. Wes shares that no matter what our story is, and it’s likely complex, that God gives us opportunities to find love in our story.

What do dinner options have to do with God’s love for every person? Well, Peter gets a message that greatly expands the menu choices of early Christians (Acts 10). God told Peter, what He has made clean should not be called unclean. Now this wasn’t just a message just about food, as Peter will see […]

Listen in as we examine a biblical model (Acts 5:17-32), reflect on the civil rights movement and discuss our current national climate. Then, come join us, Sunday mornings at 10 am as we continue to build a Christ-centered community here in Thomasville, […]
It Takes a Community
As we get ready to kick off our 2018 theme next week (Jan 28), we read through and reflect on Paul’s message of to the Romans (Romans 12:1-21). Paul recognized that successfully following Jesus and showing His love to the world is going to take a community of support. Join us next week at Cornerstone […]
GoTC – 7
This week wraps up the series God of This City and takes a look back at the messages from the last six weeks. We have been looking to Jesus as our example of how to be God’s people doing God-things in God’s cities. As we close out this series we take time to reflect on putting […]
GoTC – 6
This week picks up right were we left off – in the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). As we seek to follow the greatest commandment – loving others – we have an example in Jesus. In this story Jesus makes clear that we are to love everyone – even the ‘untouchables’. Let us […]
