Is your name written in the Book of Life? The Book of Life is mentioned eight times in the New Testament (once in Philippians and seven times in Revelation). The Bible teaches that this book lists all the names of people who are going to spend eternity in heaven with Jesus. If your name is not in the book, you will be denied access to heaven. So how can you be sure your name will be listed in the Book of Life? Find out in today's study from Philippians 4 with Pastor Gary.

When Jesus comes into your life, He doesn't just leave a little mark identifying you as His own child. Instead, He completely transforms your life and makes you into a new creation. In today's message, Pastor Gary teaches you that salvation isn't something you can fake because it involves a life change that you cannot accomplish on your own. If someone claims to follow Jesus but doesn't show signs of that transformational power, they have yet to fully surrender to the will of Jesus. It's all or nothing.

Join us for a special Midweek Q&A night where Pastor Gary, Tyler, & Austin Hamrick do their best to answer your Bible Questions!

Pastor Gary continues our series about Knowing God deeper by telling us about how Salvation isn’t just a moment—it’s the beginning of a new life where God removes every barrier and invites us into a real, personal relationship with Him, calling us out of darkness and into His light

Pastor Gary returned to our Established series on the Fruit of the Spirit by focusing on the last two expressions in Galatians 5:22–23: meekness and self‑control. He began by honestly naming how common our struggle with control is, especially when our past includes trauma, abandonment, shame, or deep insecurity. Many controlling behaviors are learned coping mechanisms to keep chaos away and to avoid being hurt again. But control is ultimately an illusion: the more we try to control people and circumstances, the more out of control we actually become.

Pastor Gary started our Comeback series with a sermon titled "From Grief."

It's easy for us to forget that the Trinity is both one God and three persons. What this means for us is that one member of the Trinity will not contradict the other. In today's message, Pastor Gary teaches us that the Holy Spirit doesn't teach us anything that we don't already know from God's Word. He is here to give us wisdom and insight, but He will only speak what Jesus has already spoken to us. In order to hear from the Holy Spirit, we need to have an intimate knowledge of the Word of God.

Today I'm continuing my Bold Pastor Series: Shepherds in the Storm with Pastor Gary Hamrick from Cornerstone Chapel. We're talking about Israel, the headlines that won't stop coming, and what biblical discernment and civic engagement should actually look like for Christians right now. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or confused, this conversation will help get you grounded back in God's Word and back to peace.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Most people pursue things that bring them happiness or pleasure in this lifetime: accomplishments, awards, degrees, rank, money, likes and followers. But at the end of the day, nothing compares to knowing Jesus! In Philippians 3, Paul wrote about all his many accomplishments and accolades that he achieved in his lifetime, but he said it was all “rubbish” (dung) compared to the excellence of knowing Christ! Do you know Jesus? There's a difference between knowing “about” Jesus and knowing Him personally. Pastor Gary explains this in today's study titled, “Nothing Compares to Jesus!”

Pastor Gary continues the "Established" series by bringing us back to the fruit of the Spirit with todays Q&A. He asks, what does it look like when the Spirit of God is truly established in a believer's life? The fruit: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self‑control. These are not a list of optional virtues; it is the visible evidence that the living God dwells in us. We live in tension between the flesh (our old sin nature) and the Spirit. As we yield to the Spirit and "crucify" the flesh with Christ, God's own character increasingly shows up in our relationships, our homes, and our workplaces.

If you live in an area that gets lots of tornadoes, you're probably familiar with the different systems in place that are meant to warn people to get to safety. Between tornado sirens and emergency alerts on smartphones, it is hard for someone to be caught completely unaware that severe weather is incoming. Today, Pastor Gary teaches you that the Holy Spirit is like an emergency alert system for your soul. The Lord points out the sin in your life and implores you to repent before it is too late.

At Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Gary Thomas challenged couples to raise the bar in their marriages from simply loving one another to truly cherishing one another. He cast a vision of what it looks like to treat your spouse as “outstanding among 10,000” — deeply valued, honored, and treasured. Cherishing isn't based on having a perfect partner, but on living out the gospel through grace, humility, and a commitment to believe the best. Rather than allowing busyness, distraction, or frustration to slowly erode intimacy, couples are invited to cultivate a new climate marked by intentional devotion and respect. When we move from love to love and cherish, marriage becomes not just something we maintain, but something we joyfully strengthen every day.

In this powerful message, Pastor Gary vulnerably shares his personal journey from pursuing musical success to discovering the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. Through the lens of Philippians 3, he challenges us to examine what we truly value by looking at our calendars, bank accounts, and decisions. Drawing from Paul's radical transformation, Pastor Gary illustrates how trading earthly treasures for Christ isn't about loss but eternal gain. He shares his own wake-up call when his daughter asked if he "lived at the church," prompting him to realign his priorities with his proclaimed values. With practical wisdom, he outlines three transformative values: treasuring Jesus above all else, investing in what lasts forever through discipleship, and living with eternal urgency. His compelling call to action urges listeners to close their own "value gaps" through intentional daily Bible reading, investing in one person for discipleship, and engaging in church service opportunities. The message resonates with both conviction and hope, reminding us that when we align our lives with eternal values, we don't lose—we gain everything that truly matters.

Have you ever heard or seen a public service announcement warning against digging in your yard? More often than not, there are natural gas lines, cable lines, and other utility lines buried underground, and it is important to ask someone to help you mark where those lines are so you can avoid causing an accident in your yard! But when it comes to your heart, you need help to identify the sin issues that remain in your life, so that you can cut them out! Pastor Gary teaches you that the Holy Spirit will illuminate those issues in your life, so that they can be removed!

God renews lives, AND He instilled the Holy Spirit in people so they can continue to live on the righteous path of Jesus Christ! In today's message, Pastor Gary will bring some seriously good news…if you're born again, you already have the Holy Spirit! If your life has been saved, bought, and redeemed by Jesus, then you also have the Spirit guiding you to be righteous, holy, and set apart! You have the power to do what is right and to make the hard choice against your flesh to follow Jesus!

What if 50 years from now, people look back at 2026 as the year that changed everything? In this powerful vision-casting message, Pastor Gary unveils a bold blueprint for transforming lives across New England through four strategic "plays." Drawing from Nehemiah's inspiring leadership, he challenges believers to move from spectators to active participants in God's kingdom work. The heart of the vision centers on developing three generations of disciple-makers, building a multiplying leadership pipeline, planting churches in every New England state, and saturating communities with the gospel. With 400,000 people within a 30-minute drive of the church, Pastor Gary emphasizes that reaching them isn't just about trying harder—it's about multiplying smarter through intentional discipleship and leadership development. He concludes with an urgent call to action: "The plays are called. The ball is in your hands. You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." The question that remains is simple yet profound: What will you do to lead people to Jesus in 2026?

If you love Jesus, you will fear God, and if you fear God, you will love Jesus! There can't be one without the other. Jesus showed us that firsthand and modeled what that life can and should look like. In today's message, Pastor Gary will share how important it is to be in the Word of God, to be attending a Church to be in Biblical community, and to have a strong and consistent prayer life! The Way you spend your time and energy will directly show where your love is and how much you fear God!

Spiritual Discipline Sunday: Tithing | Pastor Gary Smith by City of Life Church

In this message by Pastor Gary from our The Church Imagined series, we explore Paul's powerful picture of the church as the Body of Christ from 1 Corinthians 12. Jesus never designed believers to follow Him alone. We find spiritual strength and purpose in loving unity. Like parts of a human body working together, every member of the church is connected, necessary, and valuable.This sermon highlights five key truths: we belong to one another, every member matters, no one is greater than another, we share each other's suffering and joy, and the health of the church depends on staying responsive to Jesus, the Head of the body. In a culture that celebrates independence, this message calls us back to interdependence: serving, forgiving, praying for, and caring for one another.When the church lives in this kind of unity under Christ's leadership, it becomes a healthy and visible reflection of Jesus to the world.

This week, Pastor Gary continued our Established series with a focus on Patience, or "long-suffering," from the fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22. Long-suffering goes beyond mere patience; it is the enduring spirit that allows us to face trials, chronic struggles, and relational strife without losing hope or faith. Pastor Gary illuminated the Greek roots of the word, explaining how "makros" (long) and "thumos" (temper) come together to describe the enduring, patient spirit that helps us navigate life's challenges through the power of the Holy Spirit, not our own strength.

The Holy Spirit isn't some sort of mystical or magical being or even a fictional thing; He is God Himself in the form of a personal Spirit meant to help us! In today's message, Pastor Gary will reveal a sliver of who the Holy Spirit is and how you can have a personal relationship with Him! If you are a born-again Christian, you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you. How could you not have a deep and rich relationship with someone living that close to you?!


In this week's message from Pastor Gary, delivered amid the chill of a winter storm, we continued exploring the "Established" series, focusing on the profound gift of peace through the Holy Spirit. Pastor Gary opened with a compelling truth: this peace is not dependent on our circumstances but is a divine gift that surpasses human understanding. Through deep, purposeful prayer characterized by adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication, believers can experience a peace that guards their hearts and minds, much like a sentinel watching over a city.

How often do you help people? How often do you see or hear about someone in need and actually inconvenience yourself for the betterment of someone else's life? In today's message, Pastor Gary will point out that Jesus inconvenienced Himself. He surrendered His time to what the Lord wanted to do in and through Him. Look at how that worked out…look at all that Jesus accomplished by allowing the Lord to govern His decisions! So, today, stop and ask the Lord how you can help someone else!

Sometimes we think that God is absent during our difficult circumstances.  Paul was “in chains” in prison in Rome for preaching the gospel, yet he wrote about how much joy he had!  How can someone in prison have such joy?  Answer:  because his joy was in Jesus and he understood that no matter what his circumstances, God was accomplishing His divine purposes.  That's why Paul would write in Philippians 1:13, “…my chains are in Christ.”  In today's study, Pastor Gary shares how we can have joy in our difficult circumstances too with the right eternal perspective.

Pastor Gary Thomas challenges the church to rethink physical health as an act of worship in Week 3 of the Reset series at Cherry Hills Community Church. Rather than focusing on appearance or self-discipline, the message reframes caring for our bodies as offering ourselves to God as instruments for His service. Drawing from Scripture, Gary reminds us that our bodies belong to God and are meant to be used for His purposes, not merely admired or neglected. Through powerful stories and practical insight, he shows how physical habits can either limit or expand our ability to love, serve, and endure in our calling. This sermon invites everyone to embrace a sustainable, grace-filled motivation rooted in honoring God with our whole lives.

Being a lukewarm Christian, or someone who just sits on the fence of full surrender, isn't a true Christian. Christians are people who follow God with everything they have; they're “little Christs”. In today's message, Pastor Gary will challenge you on where you stand with your faith. Are you on fire for God or barely wading in the water? God calls everyone to a passionate life devoted to Him and His ministry…does that describe you?! On fire, passionate, devoted?! These are all characteristics of a true Christian!

Today's sermon is God's Way or the Wrong Way by Gary Hamrick Find more teaching from Pastor Gary at www.cornerstonechapel.net

When we come to faith in Jesus Christ, God does not abandon us. On the contrary, He sends His Spirit to dwell in us and abide with us to help us run the race with perseverance. God is as much at work in bringing us to salvation as He is at work in keeping us saved! But it's not all on Him. We have a responsibility to “work out our salvation” too. Pastor Gary explains this encouraging promise in today's study from Philippians 1:6.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Gary unfolded the profound distinctiveness of Christianity as a "religion of love." Using Galatians 5, Pastor Gary emphasized that love is the cornerstone of the Spirit's fruit, nurturing other virtues like joy, peace, and kindness. He invited the congregation to reflect on whether their lives are truly established in God's love, emphasizing the importance of love's unconditional nature in transforming relationships and communities.
