Cornerstone Simi Podcast

Todd introduces this episode by posing the question, “How much do we miss out on by not being available?  He goes on to assert that God uses available people not based on our talents or abilities but rather how He desires to use us for Kingdom work.  God is looking for people who are willing to reorient their lives to accomplish something that they perhaps don’t even understand, but are willing to be present and available to be on mission with God.  Being on mission may require that we relearn what’s important to God and subsequently be willing to live a sacrificial life with dependence on Jesus for instruction, comfort and rest.  The pastors conclude this final teaching on Matthew 28:16-20 acknowledging that we don’t have all the answers - this dependency is a process of trusting Jesus to be with us and to teach us how to live! 

Thomas Scherer, Cornerstone’s Student Ministry Director, joins Todd and Christian today to discuss the implications of Matthew 28:17 and the Apostles' conflict between worshiping Jesus and doubting His work and call on their lives. We too find ourselves experiencing moments, or even seasons, of doubt because none of us share the vantage point of our all-knowing God.  We too wrestle with God when life is hard and unexpected events undermine our confidence in what God is doing.  The solution to this doubt is to worship Jesus, keep our focus on Jesus, trust in Jesus, and accept that our doubts are a sign of our weakness, which can be overcome by Jesus!  You will be blessed by this insightful conversation between Thomas, Todd, and Christian and find that your confidence will build when you realize that God is always with us and being used by Him for Kingdom work is His idea!!
