What do you do when you find yourself in a "strange land"—feeling spiritually homesick, weary from the climb, or wondering if you've wandered too far from the presence of God? In Psalms 101–150, the Psalter reaches its majestic, final crescendo, providing an unbroken anthem of mercy, divine guidance, and transcendent praise. Summary: In this concluding study of the Book of Psalms (Chapters 101–150), we explore the sacred culmination of ancient Israel's worship. From David's personal covenant to walk with integrity within his own home, to the grand 176-verse acrostic ode to the scriptures in Psalm 119, these chapters teach us how to transform every trial into "one more strain of praise." The King's Standard: We analyze Psalm 101, looking at David's 12-part pledge to set "no wicked thing" before his eyes and create a sanctuary of righteousness within his home. As Far as the East Is from the West: We dive into Psalm 103, examining the infinite reach of God's tender mercies and His divine understanding that "we are dust". The Cornerstone and the Hosanna: We unpack the Messianic majesty of Psalms 110 and 118, discovering how the rejected stone became the head of the corner and exploring the ancient background of the Triumphal Entry. The A-to-Z of Scripture Study: We deconstruct Psalm 119, the ultimate 22-stanza Hebrew acrostic, uncovering how hiding God's word in our hearts creates an internal lamp that keeps us from stumbling in the dark. The Songs of Ascent: We journey through Psalms 120–134, the ancient pilgrimage hymns sung as travelers ascended toward the temple in Jerusalem, discovering how to find peace in times of war and reap in joy after sowing in tears. The Final Doxology: We finish with Psalms 145–150, exploring the final five Hallelujah psalms and learning why Psalm 150 calls on every single instrument, element of creation, and "every thing that hath breath" to praise the Lord. Call-to-Action: Psalm 139 reminds us that whether we ascend to heaven or make our bed in hell, the hand of the Lord is still there to lead and hold us.

Everyone is building their lives on something. The question is: can it hold the weight of eternity? 1 Peter 2:410 is a clear reminder that, as Christians, we are called to build our lives on Christ, our Cornerstone. He is the author and perfecter of our faith, and in Him.

Mark and Emily pull back the curtain on how Cornerstone decides what to preach and introduce the church's new series through The Gospel Way.

In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world.

Life isn't meant to be built on fleeting trends or uncertain ground; it requires a firm, unshakable foundation to withstand life's greatest storms. When you align your daily walk with a purpose bigger than yourself, you find strength, clarity, and peace even in the midst of chaos. Embracing this perspective reminds us that every individual is a vital, valuable piece of a much larger, beautiful design. Let your life be a powerful reflection of hope and truth as you build boldly toward a meaningful future.

Drop us a note about the podcast. The most dangerous kind of weakness isn't loud it's quiet: a slow loss of conviction, a slow drift in families, a slow acceptance that someone else will fix what we refuse to face. We open with Romans 1:16–17 and plant a flag where Paul plants it: we're not ashamed of the good news about Christ, because the gospel is God's power to save and the only way we're made right in God's sight, from start to finish, by faith.From there, we bring it home to marriage and the daily life most people actually live. Genesis 2:24–25 isn't sentimental to us; it's structural. A man and a woman becoming one flesh, staying one flesh, and living with honesty instead of shame shapes the health of a home. And the health of homes shapes the strength of a nation. We talk plainly about how many “ways to be wrong” show up in modern marriage advice, and why God's way is the only way that builds something that lasts.We also zoom out to justice, leadership, and the kind of social breakdown that follows when institutions fail to protect the vulnerable. Along the way we touch American Christian heritage, presidential oaths, Richard Nixon's use of Isaiah 2:4, and the original idea behind penitentiaries as places meant to produce penitence and moral reform. The through-line is self-government: a republic can't be held together by force forever, it needs people governed from within by a conscience shaped by God.If this pushes on you, good. Listen, share it with someone who cares about faith, family, and freedom, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Peter presents the Christian life as custom masonry. He paints a picture of believers as living stones -- shaped by pressure, fitted by grace, and assembled with purpose. Horizon's facility echoes this image; its fieldstone exterior emphasizes that suffering is not waste but craftsmanship. As Christ-followers, our faith is built on Christ the Cornerstone, who creates us as his “Bespoke Stonework.” Join Horizon at the Equipping Services for this verse-by-verse study of 1 Peter, as we understand ourselves to be God's intentional, hand-hewn formations.

Last week, we started a new series called The Core Four. If we are to represent Christ to the world and allow His nature and character to develop fully within us, then we are going to have to have the same values that Jesus had when He was on the earth. Last week, we talked about humility. Jesus was the most humble man who ever lived. He said you can’t even get into the Kingdom of God without humility. Humility is the first of four core values of the Kingdom, and this week, we’re going to explore the second. Jesus said, “There is one thing that I am praying to God about that will demonstrate to the whole world that you belong to me and that I am God’s Son.” It isn’t spiritual gifts, money, power, influence, talent, charisma, or a huge platform. It’s unity — coming together as brothers and sisters in Christ.

In this episode, Eric Thompson interviews Larry Kendall about the fourth principle of Ninja Selling: Connect and Communicate. Larry explains that great communication begins with connection. The best communicators create a sense of trust through what he calls a "non-anxious presence," making the conversation about the other person rather than themselves. By asking thoughtful questions, listening deeply, and adapting to clients' communication styles, Ninjas help clients gain clarity and make confident decisions. The conversation explores the Platinum Rule, the importance of asking rather than telling, and the sequence of connection, foundational, diagnostic, and closing questions. Larry also shares one of his favorite coaching tools, the "magic wand" question, and the personal story of how asking that question helped him and his wife discover and ultimately purchase their dream home. Key Takeaways Great communication starts by creating connection before trying to communicate information. Asking questions is more powerful than telling because it builds trust, uncovers needs, and creates clarity. Match the other person's communication style, personality, and learning modality to build rapport. Follow the sequence of connection, foundational, diagnostic, and closing questions. The "magic wand" question helps people think freely and uncover what they truly want. Focus on helping clients make great decisions rather than trying to sell them. Memorable Quotes "Connect first, then communicate." "Treat others the way they want to be treated." "Asking is better than telling." "It matters who says it." "If you could wave your magic wand…" "The market is the bad guy. We're on the seller's team."

Thursday, 6 August 2026   And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.” Matthew 21:44   “And the ‘having fallen upon the stone, this,' he will be pulverized. Upon whoever, also, if it should fall, it will winnowize him.” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told the leaders He had been talking to that the kingdom of God would be taken from them and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. He next says, “And the ‘having fallen upon the stone, this,' he will be pulverized.”   A new word, sunthlaó, to dash together, as it shattering or breaking, is seen here. It is seen only here and in the comparable passage in Luke 20:18. Properly, it signifies to “pulverize, crushing parts together into dust” (HELPS Word Studies). This is a reference to Isaiah 8 -   “He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall and be broken, Be snared and taken.” Isaiah 8:14, 15   Jesus is the chief Cornerstone for the temple that God is building. It is a house formed out of people from any people group. This is alluded to many times by Paul, such as, “For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building” (1 Corinthians 3:9). Paul is a Jew, and he is writing to the Gentiles in Corinth. His letters are prescriptive for the church age, anywhere and at any time.   This would have been unthinkable to the Jews. They were supposedly what God is doing in the world. For Gentiles to be so prominently included, and at the same level as them, was an intolerable idea. This is what Isaiah is referring to.   Jesus' words mean that those who fell upon this stone, rejecting the notion that the Messiah would set up such an edifice, would be pulverized in the process. They would be completely aghast at the notion, and in rejecting it, they would find judgment. Jesus next says, “Upon whoever, also, if it should fall, it will winnowize him.”   Another new word is seen here, likmaó. There is no English word that matches the meaning. It is from likmos (a basket used for winnowing). Thus, it signifies to powderize something to a state where the winds will winnow it. Winnowize is a coined word that satisfactorily meets the intent. A suitable paraphrase is seen in the NAS: “it will scatter him like dust.” This word is also only seen here and in Luke 18:20.   Jesus' words refer to the judgment of those on whom His (Jesus, the Stone) wrath falls. It will be as if they never were. This is what occurred in the judgment on Jerusalem in AD 70. The people were destroyed, and they were scattered even to the furthest parts of the world, as if winnowed.   Jesus' words are connected to everything He has been saying since He started the parable of the vinedressers. In verse 41, it said, “He will destroy those wicked men miserably.” Jesus confirms the analysis with His citation of the Psalm and the reference to Isaiah.   Life application: The words of Jesus are limited to the immediate context. It is true that Jesus will judge the world and that all who fail to come to Him will be sent to the Lake of Fire. However, the context of His words here is that of judgment upon Israel for rejecting Him.   They failed to accept that He had a plan for the salvation of the whole world, utterly rejecting any notion that they would not be the “thing” God was doing any longer. The judgment that came upon them, as described here, does not belong to those in the world today. As such, this is not a verse that can be used when referring to rejecting Jesus today.   Unfortunately, this is what is commonly the case when this verse is cited. As always, we must maintain the appropriate context to obtain the appropriate meaning of what is being conveyed. Remember this: context is king when evaluating Scripture. If you hold to this, you will save yourself from getting misdirected.   Prayer: Lord God, help us to carefully and responsibly evaluate Your word. May we not stray from staying within the context that is presented. Help us to remember this as we dive into Your wonderful word. Amen.

In this episode of the Building Bigger Lives Podcast, hosts Kathryn Pedersen and Michael Regan interview Kelly Marsh, SVP and Regional Manager at Cornerstone, about her career journey, leadership style, and communication habits. Kelly shares her background, including her competitive upbringing and entry into the mortgage industry, and discusses how her focus on emotional intelligence and coaching has shaped her approach to leadership and communication. She highlights key communication habits, such as the importance of clear communication, the dangers of unspoken expectations, and the principle that if you permit something, you promote it. The conversation also covers how to develop self-awareness, adapt communication styles to different personalities, and the impact of effective communication on both professional and personal relationships. Kelly shares insights from her recent keynote presentation and personal stories illustrating the power of these communication principles in building stronger teams and relationships.

We continue in our sermon series How We Grow Together. As disciples, all Christians are on a lifelong journey of growing into the likeness of Christ by faith. The Bible's normal setting for a Christian's growth is within, rather than apart from, the local church. In this fourth and final sermon of our series we take up the question, “How do we grow together as Christians who are also sinners?” Christians don't abandon wayward saints; they restore them.

Peter presents the Christian life as custom masonry. He paints a picture of believers as living stones -- shaped by pressure, fitted by grace, and assembled with purpose. Horizon's facility echoes this image; its fieldstone exterior emphasizes that suffering is not waste but craftsmanship. As Christ-followers, our faith is built on Christ the Cornerstone, who creates us as his “Bespoke Stonework.” Join Horizon at the Equipping Services for this verse-by-verse study of 1 Peter, as we understand ourselves to be God's intentional, hand-hewn formations.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. "^^^^^^^In Christ.

Continue the series with “Rejected Cornerstone,” a powerful sermon from Psalm 118 that points directly to Jesus Christ. Pastor Ricky Smith explores how God's greatest work often comes through what the world rejects, revealing Christ as the Cornerstone of our salvation. This message reminds us that God's steadfast love sustains us in trouble, His salvation comes through the rejected Savior, and King Jesus alone deserves our praise and surrender.Find sermon resources and more at calvaryga.com

The Bible's normal setting for a Christian's growth is within, rather than apart from, the local church. In this third part we meet Paul in the midst of affliction.

Dr. Wanjiru Njoya argues that private property is the indispensable cornerstone of liberty and civilization, and that anti-discrimination laws—however well-intentioned—are a form of aggression against property that nudges society along the continuum toward socialism. Drawing on Rothbard, Hoppe, and Mises, she defends property rights as absolute, carefully distinguishes political philosophy from personal morality, and warns that eroding property will, in Mises's words, cause civilization itself to perish.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 24, 2026.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

“Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. But he does not hesitate to punish and destroy those who reject him. Therefore, you must obey all these commands, decrees, and regulations I am giving you today.” (Deuteronomy 7:9–11 NLT) Our founding fathers framed a document that Thomas Jefferson drafted for the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia. Congress adopted the document on July 4, 1776. We call it the Declaration of Independence. Among other things it says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Pastor Chuck Smith once said that sometimes we forget that the Declaration of Independence, which declared independence from foreign tyranny, also declared our dependence on an eternal God. We see this in its closing words: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Our forefathers believed that there is a God who guides the affairs of humankind. And they founded our nation on the teachings of the Bible. Thomas Jefferson, our third president, said, “The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty.” Andrew Jackson, our seventh president, called the Bible “the Rock upon which our republic rests.” And Abraham Lincoln, our 16th president, said of the Bible, “All the good the Saviour gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.” Two hundred and fifty years after the founding of our nation, our need for God’s Word has never been greater. Deuteronomy 7:9–11 says, “Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. But he does not hesitate to punish and destroy those who reject him. Therefore, you must obey all these commands, decrees, and regulations I am giving you today” (NLT). There is much to gain by placing God’s Word once again at the center of American life. And there is even more to lose in rejecting His Word. The wisdom of God’s Word is eternal, timeless. It’s not outdated. It’s not a relic. It doesn’t belong to an earlier, simpler time. The keys to the spiritual revival our nation so desperately needs can be found in its pages. That’s why we as believers must continue praying that our country finds its way back to the Word of God. Reflection question: How can you make God’s Word a bigger part of your daily life?

We continue in our sermon series How We Grow Together. As disciples, all Christians are on a lifelong journey of growing into the likeness of Christ by faith. The Bible's normal setting for a Christian's growth is within, rather than apart from, the local church. In this second part we go to the beginning of Paul's letter to a deeply messed up church. We'll see that we must strategically ground one another in Christ, because he makes us who we are. Audio | Notes | 1 Corinthians 1:1-9
