As we conclude our series in Why Jesus Came to Die, Tom preaches from Revelation 7:9-17. In this passage we see the great multitude that will stand before God when he comes again, in pure white robes and praising His name. But who are these people? They are from every tribe, tongue and nation - from the farthest reaches, to the next door neighbour. As Tom unpacks these verses for us, we see their real impact on the lives of people at Cornerstone - and we look at what the Cross of Christ really means to each person.

On the road to Emmaus, two disciples failed to recognise Jesus. But 33 years earlier, in Luke 2:21-40, one little-known prophet saw the redemption of God’s people in the face of an infant. Here Tom shows us the day Simeon’s hopes, and yours, are fulfilled.
Faith and works is an easily mismanaged issue, but Thomas addresses it directly through James 2:14-26. If we claim to love God and His word, yet never pray, never read our Bibles and never serve the Kingdom, what is our faith worth? Time to take stock. What do your deeds say about the contents of your heart?
‘Oh no, we don’t associate with those people.’ Sounds familiar? Chris shows us in James 2:1-13 that our Saviour shows no preference nor favouritism. To follow Jesus is to treat people as He did: with love regardless of station - and grace regardless of deeds. Don’t look down on your neighbour; look up to Christ.
Have you ever felt that there is too much bad news in the world? Through Luke 2:1-20, Tom announces that the greatest Good News of all: that God himself, whose hands shaped the heavens n took on the tiny hands of an infant. No grand and worldly powers could ever hope to compare with our Saviour.
In this month’s Mix looking at ‘Jesus in the Book’ Tom helps us see Jesus in Exodus. As we focus in on some of the most significant and well-known parts of the Exodus, Tom shows us how the scriptures point a neon arrow at Jesus as God with us, the great I AM, our Passover Lamb, and our High Priest.
