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.

Pastor Gary continues our series about the dreams God has given us!

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.

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.

This is not a Christmas story.This is a story about perspective.About how the same moment can mean everything to one person—and almost nothing to another.Over the next twelve episodes on Together 4 Good, we're sharing real stories that remind us we don't all experience joy, meaning, or even God in the same way.This is not a Christmas story.But it is a real one.In this episode of Together for Good, Pastor Gary shares a formative story from his teenage years—one that begins with a brand-new Schwinn bike, a scorching summer day, and a long ride toward Kings Island that didn't exactly go as planned.What started as a straightforward journey quickly turned into a series of wrong turns, repeated hills, and decisions made without a map. And somewhere along those winding country roads, a deeper truth emerged: faith often works the same way.Many of us know where we hope our faith will lead—a deeper relationship with God, a sense of peace, meaning, or trust. But getting there isn't always clear. Do we pray more? Read Scripture differently? Join a group? Try something new? Sometimes we choose a path that feels right… only to find ourselves back where we started, facing the same challenges again.In this reflection, Pastor Gary reminds us that those moments aren't failures. They're part of the journey. Sometimes the road that feels like a setback is actually teaching us something essential. And sometimes we have to climb the same hill more than once before we discover what truly bears fruit.The good news? God doesn't disappear at the fork in the road. God stays—inviting us to choose again, to keep moving, and to trust that even the wrong turns can lead us closer to love.Learn more: https://bethany-denver.orgfaith stories, Christian storytelling, everyday faith, modern Christianity, spiritual reflections, faith and life, lived faith stories, faith beyond certainty

A lot of us will save up money to do special things for our families, like go on a nice vacation or go out to eat at an expensive restaurant. These are enjoyable activities, and can be a real treat for us. It's nice to work hard and then reap the benefits of all that hard work. In today's message, Pastor Gary challenges you with a question: What are you willing to sacrifice for Jesus? What does your worship look like? Do you offer Jesus whatever you have to spare of your heart? Or do you give Him everything?

In this episode,  Pastor Gary teaches the final Sunday of Advent on love and how genuine love for God always leads to worship. Through the stories of the Magi and Simeon, we saw that Jesus is not merely someone to admire, but the King who calls for our obedience, surrender, and adoration.The Magi responded to Jesus with costly worship, traveling far and offering their very best. In contrast, King Herod responded with fear and self-preservation, reminding us that encountering Jesus always reveals what is in our hearts. Simeon, after a lifetime of faithful waiting, responded with praise and peace when he finally held the promised Savior, declaring Jesus as God's salvation.Pastor Gary challenged us to examine our own response to Jesus. True worship is never passive: it involves offering our time, resources, obedience, and lives to Him. As we are reaching the end of Advent, we are invited to move beyond admiration and respond to Christ with wholehearted worship, recognizing Him not just as a Savior, but as my Savior and my Lord!

Who doesn't love a nice hot home-cooked meal? Most of us know someone who just has a knack for cooking up something good to eat. And when we smell that sweet aroma coming from the kitchen, if we know what's good for us, we'll stay out of the way until that dinner bell calls us on in. In his message today, Pastor Gary wants you to know that Jesus is always up to something good. You might not know what it is, but if you're your patient and trust Him, you'll be sure to find out.

What kind of house did you grow up in? Did you have a solid, loving home, and especially one where Jesus was honored and served? Or did you have one that may have seemed beyond hope? Today, Pastor Gary shares his testimony of how God completely saved and transformed his childhood home – starting with his father. Now the next question: What kind of home are you making for yourself – and your family if you have one – now? No matter what its condition is today, Jesus can remake it.

Pastor Gary continues teaching on the greatest Fruit of the Spirit, Love, and its application in our lives...

What does it truly take to finish what we start in our spiritual journey? In this powerful conclusion to the "Lead Like Jesus" series, Pastor Gary delves into the critical principle of endurance, drawing parallels between Jesus's unwavering commitment and our own calling to finish faithfully. Through the compelling example of Paul's final words in 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Gary illuminates four key principles: fueling passion with purpose, maintaining consistency even when inconvenient, fighting the right battles, and leading with eternity in mind. He vulnerably shares his own saxophone learning experience to illustrate how many of us love the idea of something more than the dedication it requires. Gary challenges believers to move beyond mere starting—where 92% of New Year's resolutions fail—to become true finishers who impact generations. The message culminates in a powerful call to action, urging listeners to identify one God-given assignment they need to complete, emphasizing that the world, our families, and our churches desperately need people who will endure to the end like Jesus did.

If you live anywhere near the East Coast of the United States, or if you know anybody who does, you probably pay attention every year to the tropical hurricanes. And you've probably seen – or even experienced – a house flooding, because it's built too close to the beach. Today, Pastor Gary looks at two kinds of houses – those built on the rock and those built on the sand. You don't have to worry about what the storms might do to your spiritual house, as long as you build it on the solid foundation of Jesus.

The Bible tells us that we are in a spiritual battle—an unseen war in the heavenly realm that rages over us. Satan will try to tempt, discourage, deceive, confuse, and harm us. He and his demonic principalities want to destroy our marriages, our families, our churches, and our very lives. But in Ephesians 6, Paul explains how we can take a stand against the Enemy and trust the Lord to fight for us. In today's study, Pastor Gary unpacks this passage and then prays over all those who are under spiritual attack.

In week two of the Trinity series at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Gary Thomas reflects on the central role of Jesus Christ in the Christian faith and what it means to truly know and follow Him. He emphasizes Jesus as the foundation of hope, faith, and spiritual life, encouraging listeners to move beyond surface-level belief into genuine trust and devotion. Through personal experiences and biblical teaching, the message highlights the power of Christ to bring peace, purpose, and transformation. The sermon reminds the congregation that faith in Jesus shapes every aspect of life, from everyday struggles to eternal destiny. Ultimately, it calls people to respond in worship and commitment, embracing Jesus as the guiding center of their lives.

In this teaching, Pastor Gary closes our journey through the Songs of Ascent by looking at the final two psalms the ancient pilgrims sang as they entered Jerusalem. Psalm 133 celebrates the beauty of unity—brothers and sisters walking the same path toward God. Unity isn't easy, but it grows when we see each other as God's anointed people, and when the Holy Spirit softens our hearts through pouring out new life. Where unity exists, God commands blessing.Psalm 134 is the pilgrims' final response: “Bless the Lord.” Having arrived at the temple, they lift their hands in worship. We do the same today—praising God for saving us, sustaining us, and leading us on. The Songs of Ascent begin with “Woe is me” and end with “Bless the Lord.” That is the path of every Christian pilgrim: from struggle to worship, from journey to joy!

Highlighting the poignant context of Psalm 23, Pastor Gary shared how King David, in a state of distress being pursued by his son Absalom, found solace in God as his shepherd. Pastor Gary used this imagery to convey the comforting truth that God sings over His people with songs of deliverance, much like a shepherd singing over his flock. He revealed how this divine melody of liberation and hope can sustain believers through their own times of emotional and spiritual hardship, encouraging the congregation to embrace this divine comfort and guidance.

It's soooo easy to criticize others. We can find those critical messages on yard signs, in social media posts, and overhear them in practically every conversation. It's become perhaps our culture's favorite pastime. But today, Pastor Gary brings a critical reminder: before you look at others, you must always first look at yourself. How do you do that? The answer is simple. God's Word is His mirror for your life. God's Spirit is His Spokesman to your heart. Will you let Him search you?

God gives us instructions in the Bible for how to experience the most harmony and unity within a marriage, a family, and the workplace. But we must first understand submission to the Lord before we can “submit to one another in the fear of the Lord” (Ephesians 5:21).  How we relate with and respond to one another depends on our own walk with the Lord. Follow along in Ephesians 5–6 as Pastor Gary unpacks Biblical truth for wives, husbands, children, parents, and co-workers.

Pastor Gary concluded a series on the profound statements of Jesus by examining Mark 10:43-45, where Jesus highlights the essence of true greatness. He explored the context of this passage, describing a request made by James and John to sit beside Jesus in glory. Jesus used this moment to teach a countercultural lesson, stating that true greatness comes through servitude and self-sacrifice. Pastor Gary emphasized that Jesus, even as the Son of Man, came not to be served but to serve others and give His life as a ransom for many, setting a difficult yet transformative standard for His followers.

People have a great variety of attitudes about children. Some are gifted with such a love that they even find joy in becoming elementary school teachers. Others seem to have little patience or tolerance for children. How does God feel about children? Today, Pastor Gary answers that question by looking at God the Son in His personal ministry on earth. Jesus said, “Forbid them not, to come unto me.” When you have the same heart that Jesus has, you'll welcome His children in the same way that Jesus does.

Christianity is not only about what we believe, but also about how we behave. If we are truly followers of Christ, we should live out our faith in a way that glorifies Him. In the second half of Ephesians, Paul instructs us how to figuratively “walk out our faith.” Five times in Ephesians 4–5, Paul tells us specific ways to walk as followers of Christ. Pastor Gary discusses these five ways in today's teaching entitled, “Putting Feet to Your Faith.”

Do you need prayer today? In Ephesians 3, Paul prays for Believers. He asks God for four things on our behalf: (1) that we would be strengthened spiritually, (2) that Christ would “dwell” in our hearts, (3) that we would comprehend the expanse of God's love for us, and (4) that we would be filled with the fullness of God. In this study, Pastor Gary breaks down Ephesians 3 and prays these four points over us.

Today's sermon is Overcoming Quiet Christianity by Gary Hamrick Find more teaching from Pastor Gary at www.cornerstonechapel.net

Finding Everything You're Looking For Pastor Gary Crisp October 26, 2025 Sunday Evening

We are all born dead. Does that sound like a contradiction? It's not. This paradox is the theme of Ephesians 2: that we are all born physically alive but spiritually dead, and that the only way we are made spiritually alive is by trusting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. He takes our dead lives and makes them alive! Paul tells us there are three things that work to keep us dead, and three things that work to make us alive. Find out in today's study as Pastor Gary shares a message entitled, “Dead or Alive?”

There is a principle in life that the Bible teaches called the law of “sowing and reaping.” It's particularly true for Christians who have a choice about whether they will feed their spirit or their flesh. The spirit is that part within us that is redeemed and eternal; the flesh is unredeemed and temporary. The spirit wants to please the Lord, and the flesh wants to gratify the sinful nature. If we nurture our spiritual nature we will reap eternal life. But if we nurture our fleshly nature, we will reap destruction. Follow along today as Pastor Gary teaches the Biblical principle of sowing and reaping and how it applies to different aspects of life.

In this powerful episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with Pastor Gary Hamrick to reflect on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it reveals about the state of America. They discuss grief through a biblical lens, the growing hostility toward faith and truth, and the spiritual battle shaping today’s culture. Pastor Hamrick challenges Christians to stand firm in their convictions, embrace courage, and fight for biblical values in a society increasingly opposed to them. The Truth with Lisa Boothe is part of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Podcast Network - new episodes debut every Tuesday & Thursday.
