In this message, Pastor Scott Savage wraps up our study of 1 Peter. He shares four important reminders from Peter which address anxiety, spiritual warfare, eternity, and community.
Expectations are important. They set us up for amazement or discouragement. They shape our perceptions and they even influence the way we relate to God. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage invites us to reset our expectations, so that suffering can draw us closer to God rather than driving a wedge between us and God. Join us in 1 Peter 4:12-19 as we see how we can encourage each other when we find ourselves in adversity and suffering.
We're quick to label something as "this" OR "that." But, many times, the truth lies more in the AND. The book of 1 Peter is a book about suffering AND it is also a book about hope. In this message on 1 Peter 4:1-11, Pastor Scott Savage invites us to see how our adversity is also an opportunity when God's grace is at work in our lives.
One of the most famous failures in Scripture occurs when Peter denies that he even knows Jesus. So, what happens when Peter encourages followers of Jesus to be share the hope they have in Jesus? Pastor Scott shares the answer to that question as he continues our series, A Living Hope in a Hostile World.
Life is full of awkward and uncomfortable moments. These moments are the worst. But here's the thing - If you refuse to do something that might lead you to looking or feeling awkward or uncomfortable, you’ll never grow. So, if you want to grow, you're going to have to get uncomfortable. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage share from 1 Peter 3:1-12 about 3 uncomfortable callings for wives, husbands, and all of us.
When things go wrong, you need a friend to call. These "2 AM Friends" jump into the hard times with us. They give us hope and they bring the honesty we need. In the book of 1 Peter, Peter is that friend to his original audience and those of us who study his letter today. In this message, Pastor Scott shares three reminders we need for hard times and hard jobs. We hope this message helps you as you navigate the difficulties you're facing today.
There are a lot of problems facing us. It seems like the last few years have been a never-ending stream of challenges. The book of 1 Peter honestly speaks to those problems that gives us a lot of hope. But, that hope doesn't mean the problems are about to magically go away. Jesus doesn’t promise to lower the hostility around us. Instead, Jesus invites us to increase the maturity within us. In this message, Trey Van Camp unpacks 1 Peter 2:10 and shows us how we are a community built on Christ in a culture built on crisis. We hope this message gives you hope and helps remind you the difference it makes when we build our lives on Jesus - the cornerstone of our faith!

Living as a follower of Jesus in these times can feel like one of those moments. As our culture becomes more hostile and we face all sorts of modern challenges, how do we find hope? In this message, Pastor Scott Savage kicks off our fall 2022 series on the book of 1 Peter with a message about remembering what is true about God, about us, and about how God is working in us.

Shortages reveal our financial stories. When we start facing those stories, our tendency is to make small tweaks or surface-level changes.

We celebrate our birthdays. We celebrate our nation's birthday. But, what about the birthday of the Church? The birthday of the church has some important things to teach us - about the Church, the Holy Spirit, and the path to producing the fruit of the Spirit. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage kicks off our summer series on the Fruit of the Spirit.
We all have a season of the year we love and a reason why we love it. For some people, it's summer and swimming outdoors. For others, they love pumpkin flavors in the fall. For you, it may be planting in your garden each spring. In the same way that there are seasons of the year, there are seasons in our lives. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage unpacks the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 and helps us identify the season we might be in. We hope you take time to listen to this message, share it with a friend, and talk about what God is doing in your current season, especially if it's a hard or unwanted season.
None of us enjoy being labeled by others. Their labels can be constricting, limiting who we can become in their eyes. But, as much as we hate being labeled, we often do it to others, too. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage uses a small label to help us explore the labels we've been living within. He also walks us through the final section of Ruth, concluding our series Didn't See It Coming. He shows us how the labels we've received and embraced are overcome by God's grace, inviting us to take our place in God's great story of redemption.
What happens when someone has the courage to admit "I need help" or "I have a problem"? Incredible change is possible. In the Bible, we see the story of what happens when a courageous young woman admits her need for help and redemption. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage shares about what redemption looks like for a woman named Ruth and for each of us today.
Have you ever struggled to make a big decision? Unmade decisions lead to decision fatigue, paralyzing and exhausting us. Often, fear holds us back from moving forward. But, what if we didn't wait for fear to leave before we moved forward in faith? In this message, Pastor Scott Savage walks us through Ruth 3, showing us what can happen when people following God's leading make a big bold move in faith.
What happens when you end up where you never planned to be? What do you do? In this message, guest speaker Jeremy Jernigan walks us through the events recorded in Ruth chapter 2 and shows us the power of doing the next right thing.
Life often twists on us in unexpected and surprising ways. In those moments, how we respond and where turn matters. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage kicks off our new series on the book of Ruth by talking about 4 choices we have as we respond to a moment we didn't see coming.
We're living through a crisis of hope. A time when hopelessness is striking young and old, wealthy and impoverished. Where do you go looking for hope today? In this message, Pastor Scott Savage invites us to consider how the Resurrection of Jesus provides an answer to our crisis of hope.
On Good Friday 2022, Pastor Scott Savage shared reflections on Isaiah 53 and invited us to consider how the wounds of Jesus produce our healing.
Have you ever been talking to someone who was not paying attention to you? Ever sat next to someone who was texting someone else or scrolling social media? We all know what it’s like to be near someone but not really be with each other in the moment. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage unpacks the 6th “I Am” statement of Jesus in our series, Jesus According to Jesus. As we study John 15:1-8 together, we see how Jesus bears fruit through us as we are fully with Him.
Have you ever had one of those seasons where you felt like the child in the book Alexander's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? Are you feeling turmoil inside you or around you? Then, you can totally relate to how the disciples of Jesus felt at the beginning of the passage we're looking at in this message. Listen as Pastor Scott Savage teaches from John 14:1-7 and helps us see how we can overcome inner turmoil in week 5 of our series, Jesus According to Jesus.
What happens when the worst thing happens? What questions does that raise about God? How do we move forward when we're filled with fear? In this powerful, emotional, and hope-filled message, Chris Inman (one of our elders at Cornerstone) teaches from John 10:11-18 about Jesus, our Good Shepherd.
When Jesus taught large groups, not everyone understood what he was saying. Jesus taught using parables and figures of speech to help those who he wanted to reach to understand the invitation he was offering them. In the third week of our series on the 7 I Am statements of Jesus in John’s Gospel, Scott Savage helps us understand what Jesus meant when he said “I am the Gate.”
Darkness. The word conjures up so many images and emotions. When the lights go down at the movies, we get excited. But, when it gets dark at night and the anxiety rolls in, there is no excitement. Many of us know the darkness better than we know the light. And it's that reality that makes Jesus' arrival GOOD NEWS! When Jesus says "I am the light of the world," he is offering the hope we desperately need.
We live in a world where people gain fame constantly for ridiculous reasons. The problem with that attention though is that it arrives quickly and it can depart very quickly too. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage kicks off our new series by talking about what happened when Jesus had the attention of the crowd. He didn’t give the crowd what we wanted - he sought to give them what they truly needed.
How did we see God at work in 2021? Who has God called us to be and what has God called us to do? What's next for Cornerstone Church? All of those questions and more are answered in Pastor Scott's State of the Church 2022 Message. To get a copy of the annual report mentioned in this message, visit prescottcornerstone.com/report
Do you have someone who you struggle showing grace towards? Is there someone you're struggling to forgive? If so, then this message is for you. In the final week of our series Grace in Real Life, Pastor Scott Savage invites us to take the same grace God has given us and to give it to those around us.
Do you struggle with grace for yourself? Have an easier time showing grace to others before you show grace to yourself? Grace is often a topic that comprehend as a concept, but fail to experience personally. In this message, Pastor Scott shares vulnerably from his own struggle with grace, outlining four different ways we respond to grace. If you or someone you know struggle with grace, this is a message you need to listen to today!
One of the most difficult and most important places to experience grace is our family. Some of us carry wounds from family moments that were absent of grace, others of us carry with us the gifts of a moment where we received grace - a gift we didn’t deserve. In kicking off our new series, Grace in Real Life, Dr. Tim Kimmel (author of Grace Based Families) unpacks the four ways a grace-based family gives us freedom. Whether you’re in throes of parenting or live alone, this teaching on grace will encourage and challenge you.
What happens when we connect with Jesus in a meaningful way through meditation, prayer, and silence? We have something to offer the world! That offer looks like hospitality. In the final week of our Practices series, Pastor Scott talks about the obstacles and excuses we set up to practicing hospitality and how the life of Jesus overcomes all of those!
Does life ever feel loud, busy, and overwhelming? New research is revealing that the level of noise in our bodies is fogging up our brain, increasing our anxiety, and muddying our decision-making. In this message, guest speaker Trey Van Camp shares how Jesus consistently practiced silence and solitude and how we can experience the power of these practices ourselves.
Over the past two years, we’ve experienced an unprecedented level of isolation. People of all generations and backgrounds are experiencing loneliness on a daily basis. These experiences make us vulnerable to discouragement, depression, and defeat when adversity strikes. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage shares with us how we can commit to community following in the pattern of Jesus. If your relationships aren’t where you wished they were, this is a message for you!
All of our relationships grow through conversations, especially our relationship with God. As we talk with and listen to God, we grow in intimacy with Him. But for many of us, intimacy is a scary thing. In this message, Pastor Scott talks about the vision Jesus gives us of conversational intimacy with God and how we can take our next step in prayer.
As we begin a new year, we often consider new or renewed habits. For followers of Jesus, what are the habits or practices that help us follow Jesus? Over the first five weeks of 2022, we're going to look at 5 practices that help us grow in our intimacy with God and connection to others. In this first message, Pastor Scott Savage talks about a practice that appears over 50 times in the Bible - meditation on Scripture.
What happens during your final week of the year? Do you tend to look back in the past or do you get excited about looking ahead in order to make plans? In this message, Pastors Scott and Josh tag-team and help us look at the story of what happened this year and the way we plan for next year.
Our lives can feel dark at times, even at Christmas. But, darkness is not a new thing when it comes to Christmas. In fact, the time when Jesus came was a dark time. This is why Jesus - the light of the world - transformed the world He entered. In this message delivered at our 2021 Christmas Eve services, Pastor Scott Savage shares from John 1 about the light of Christmas.
What happens when your freedom collides with someone else's weakness or vulnerability? Are there ever limits to our freedom in Christ? In this message, Chris Inman wraps up our Relationship Reset series with a message on our limits based on Romans 14:13-23. This message is the second part to a two-part message that Pastor Scott started last week and was unable to complete due to illness. The big idea - Our freedom in Christ has a bigger purpose than our selfishness and limits beyond our preferences - will challenge how you think about current challenges you're facing in your relationships.
Have you seen a relationship torn apart in the last year? Struggled to not be judgmental of someone who you disagree with on some issue? How do we stay united when we see things differently? In this message, Pastor Scott Savage opens up the first part of a two-part message on Romans 14. His Big Idea - It’s easy to turn your personal convictions into interpersonal contempt - will challenge you to think about your relationships and your conflicts differently.
What would you do today if you knew when you went to sleep tonight, you weren’t waking up? Some things instantly are no longer options. Some things that were optional are now mandatory. Most of us won’t get that option. Life won’t come with a warning light like our gas tank has in our car. So, what if you didn’t wait for that notice but chose to make your own? In this message, Pastor Scott teaches from Romans 13:11-14 about how the wardrobe we embrace shapes how we show up with the most important people in our lives.
When it comes to building a lego set, a home, or a life, the model you choose shapes what you build. As followers of Jesus, we aren't simply looking to Jesus as our savior. We're also looking to Jesus as our model for healthy relationships. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage invites us to consider how following Jesus as our model impacts how we relate to others.
SERIES OVERVIEW:
Over the last 18 months, it seems that nearly every relationship in our lives have been tested and tried. Many of us have seen a relationship damaged or even destroyed by conflict, especially conflict fueled by the news and social media. If that’s your story, you’re not alone.
But, there is a way forward. What if you could hit a reset button, step back and take a new approach to pursuing healthy relationships with those around you? Well, that's what we're exploring in our current sermon series at Cornerstone entitled “Help! I Need a Relationship Rest.” Over seven Sundays, we’re looking at how we can build, develop, and sustain healthy relationships.
Attitude is everything. It shapes all of our relationships and the way we use the gifts God has given us. In this message, Scott Savage shares with us how the attitude of "everything is a gift" and "all is grace" impacts the way we relate to one another.

I Need a Relationship Rest.” Over seven Sundays, we’ll look at how we can build, develop, and sustain healthy relationships.
In this message, Pastor Scott kicks off the series by looking at what we contribute to our relationships and how our greatest contribution to our relationships is our own ongoing transformation with Jesus.
The church is facing many obstacles today. Many students and young adults are abandoning their faith. Also, people struggle to connect with the church because the church is more known for what it's against than who it is for. As we conclude this series on our core values, Pastor Scott shares about our final two values - empowering the next generation now and getting uncomfortable for Prescott and the world.
Have you ever wondered if the problems we face are normal in human history? Or are our challenges unique to this moment? Today, we face incredible division and unprecedented levels of unhealthiness, both inside and outside of the church. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage continues our series on our core values. He shares about how we value practicing unity in a divided world and how we value pursuing health together.
Knowing where you're going is important. Knowing how you're going to get where you're going is important too! In the second week of our series on our values, The Core, Scott Savage shares about how we seek to align around two of our values - Fighting for Simplicity and Equipping People to Live Out Their Faith in Public.
What matters most to us? What values shape our decisions and choices? In this message, Pastor Scott launches our new series, The Core, about the values of Cornerstone Church. This message focuses on two of our values - Surrendering to Jesus' Agenda and Submitting to Scripture.
The past 18 months have been incredibly difficult. They have been even more difficult if you were already isolated and lonely. In this message, concluding our series This is the Way, Chris Inman shares about the Way of Others. (Chris is a former pastor and a member of the Cornerstone Elder Board.) This message includes some important reminders about the importance of community as well as an incredibly powerful interview with a couple from Chris' community group who share about a painful and traumatic event in their family.
We live in a world that often forces us to choose between two options - "are you someone who loves/supports/chooses/believes in this or that?" Even Jesus experiences forces who wanted Him to choose between this or that. But, Jesus often rejected those options and chose a better way - the way of both! In this message, Pastor Scott unpacks a powerful moment in the life of Jesus where He showed His followers the way of both - the way of grace AND truth!
This message was part of a special pre-recorded online service on Sunday, August 22. Recording in his office, Pastor Scott shared a powerful metaphor with three items you'd find in most kitchens today. We hope this message encourages and reminds you how Jesus has transformed us and now empowers us to transform the places where He plants us.
During the craziness of 2020, a TV show took off - The Mandalorian. The show's lead character often repeats a phrase to describe his actions - "This is the Way." This phrase is a great summary of what it means to follow in Jesus' footsteps and walk the path He laid out for His followers. In this first installment of the series, Pastor Scott talks about "The Way of Abiding", exploring Jesus' teaching in John 15.
What do when life doesn't turn out the way you expected? Do you walk away from your faith? Do you compromise your convictions? Do you abandon those you've committed to love? In this 12th and final message in our series on the Minor Prophets, Pastor Scott Savage leads us through the book of Malachi, inviting us to trust God and take our next step of obedience even when we don't understand the ways of God.
Going home can be hard. We have grown and moved forward, but we feel the temptation to slip back into old habits, old patterns, and an old way that pulls us backwards. In the book of Zechariah, we see God inviting His people to return home but more importantly to return to Him! In this message, Pastor Scott shares with us about 5 invitations God makes to His people - that He is making to us. Will you accept these invitations today?

Guest speaker Tim Jacobs continues our series "Relentless" by talking about Zephaniah and how God is a God of restoration.
What do you with your questions and doubts? Ignore them? Allow them to destroy your faith? The prophet Habakkuk gives us a model for how honest wrestling with God can lead to greater hope. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage shows how our hope can grow through wrestling with and embracing God.
What happens when you watch someone carry out evil deeds? What happens when you watch someone seem to get away with injustice? What questions does it raise about God's character and trustworthiness? In this message, Pastor Scott Savage unpacks the meaning of the book of Nahum. He shares with us how the goodness of God is often clearly seen on the darkest days.
We live in a complex world where it's often difficult to discern what it looks like to follow Jesus faithfully. In this message, Pastor Scott helps us look at the book of Micah. He explores the idea that "What God requires of his people is simple, but not easy" and helps us see how this simple idea provides a framework to look at our outward, inward, and upward realities.
We live in a world where we often fall into the mindset of giving mercy to ourselves and "our people" while wanting justice for "those people" - our enemies. As we continue our series on the Minor Prophets, Pastor Scott Savage leads us through the book of Jonah - a book all about God's abundant mercy. In this message, we learn that God loves those we don't like and calls us to take His gospel to them.
What happens when our enemies suffer? What rises up within our hearts? In the fourth week of our study through the Minor Prophets, Pastor Scott Savage leads us through the book of Obadiah. The shortest book in the Minor Prophets is profoundly relevant to us today, showing us that there is a strong connection between the state of our heart towards God and the way we treat the people we struggle to love the most.
What happens when you're using something right to justify something wrong? What happens when you hide behind what is good to excuse what is evil? In this message, guest speaker Jeremy Jernigan guides us into the book of Amos and helps us feel the hard message the prophet brought to God's people. The people were proud of their worship while they simultaneously practiced injustice. Jeremy echoes the word of Amos, calling us to hold on to righteous living while also pursuing justice.
We tend to view difficulty and suffering as a situations to avoid or moments when God is absent. But, what if our difficulties and suffering are used by God to wake us up to what we've been missing? In this message, Pastor Scott Savage leads us through the book of Joel and shows us the relentless mercy of God, along with what true repentance looks like.
What do you call someone who is dogged, determined, and unrelenting? Relentless! In kicking off our Summer 2021 series through the Minor Prophets, Pastor Scott Savage teaches us how the book of Hosea reveals the grace of God through His relentless pursuit of His people.
Just days after Cornerstone was founded over 30 years ago, the Kopf family started attending our church and God has been using them in powerful ways ever since! In today's message, Jonathan Kopf shares the story of God calling their family to abandon the American Dream to take the good news of the Light to people who were living in darkness. Your generous giving at Cornerstone Church supports mission partners like the Kopfs around the world through our commitment to spend 15% of all undesignated giving on missions causes.
Tired. Overwhelmed. Discouraged. Isolated. When those words describe our reality, we're vulnerable to compromise. In the book of Nehemiah, the wall was finished but the work had just begun. Nehemiah had to address, undo, and avoid compromise as he rebuilt the way of life for the people of God. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage shares from Nehemiah 5-13 about the danger of compromise. He's also joined by 3 mothers who share their own experiences responding to discouragement, fatigue, and overwhelm.
Every project has a “messy middle.” Things get harder. Fatigue grows. We collide with disappointment. Quitting seems like a potential option. But, behind those experiences is a reality we need to understand. We have an Enemy. In Week 4 of our series on the book of Nehemiah, Pastor Scott Savage helps us to understand, expect, and navigate spiritual opposition. If you’re struggling to press forward today, this message will encourage and equip you to keep going!
Are you more isolated that you were a year or two ago? Have you battled feelings of loneliness recently? The temptation we face today is to begin rebuilding our lives alone. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage shares from Nehemiah 3, challenging us to consider that anything worth rebuilding is never rebuilt alone.
It's one thing to have an idea. It's quite another to have a plan. Before we can successfully rebuild, we need a plan. The best plans are made with wisdom and executed with courage. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage shares from Nehemiah 2, showing us how we can get ready for God to open an opportunity to rebuild what has been broken.
What do you do after a year that destroyed plans, wrecked dreams, cracked relational bonds, and set us back further than we expected? We REBUILD!
In the book of Nehemiah, we see how God used one man and a nation of people to rebuild walls and reclaim hope. As we rebuild after the chaos of the last year, we'll see God's pattern for rebuilding from the pages of Nehemiah.
Prayer is the first step when you're rebuilding. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage opens this series in chapter 1 of Nehemiah talking about prayer. When life breaks us and we're tempted to avoid our pain, prayer offers us a place to process that pain with God and discern how God is at work amidst the rubble.
The Resurrection of Jesus is the linchpin of the Christian faith. In light of the central role the Resurrection plays, Pastor Scott Savage took time on Easter Sunday 2021 to ask three important questions. "What if It's Not True? Why is it True? What if It's True?" The answers may surprise you and challenge you to go do your own homework, so you can determine what you believe about the Resurrection.
We like things that resolve neatly and beautifully. However, Good Friday is not one of those things. Certainly, it wasn't for those who lived it. It was more like Dark Friday and things felt shocking, disturbing, and far from resolved. There was no pretty bow on a nicely wrapped package. In this shorter teaching from our Good Friday Service on April 2, 2021, Pastor Scott Savage shares 3 lessons we learn from the final 24 hours of Jesus' life before the cross. This year, when it came to Good Friday, we took a "No Bows Here" approach.
The three bad guys of Holy Week - Caiphas, Barabbas, and Pilate - show us that power works very differently in the Kingdom of God and the kingdoms of men. This message was delivered by Pastor Scott Savage on Sunday, March 28, 2021
We all have agendas. We wrestle with our agendas. The result of that wrestling can be life and death. In this message, Chris Inman - an elder at Cornerstone - shares from the story of Judas about the danger our agendas pose when we don't examine with them or offer them up to Jesus in surrender.
Pastor Scott Savage teaches from Luke 7:36-50. The Big Idea is "How you see JESUS shapes how you see yourself. How you see YOURSELF shapes how you see Jesus." This message was taught on March 14, 2021 - Week 4 in our Lenten series, When People Meet Jesus.
