Easter Sunday Celebration – Jesus is Alive!

, Uncategorized | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Jesus is alive and he met us, by His Spirit, as we gathered for Good Friday and Easter this year. I hope you were able to be a part of it. In case you missed it, feel free to listen to the Easter sermon. I want to give a huge thanks to all who served in one way or another over that weekend. Thanks for being open to being used by God through the simple act of service. Throwing two gatherings like that, back-to-back, is a huge undertaking and, by God’s grace, He showed up. People encountered Jesus afresh. I’ve already heard some amazing stories. In fact, if you have any to share, we would love to hear from you! Share them on the City or send them to .

There is much to be encouraged by (for example, having our largest gathering ever on Sunday at 400). However, the most glorious, profound, encouraging reality of the weekend is that Jesus the Christ is still alive, still ruling and still reconciling people to himself. Without question, we want to see God do something unique and special – and He is. From the beginning we have asked God to do what only He can do among us and through us (Eph 3:20-21) – and he is. We continue to dream, plan and pray big – and we will. However, our hope is not in our dreams, plans and prayers, but Him. Our treasure is that we are treasured and our names are written in the Book (Lk20:10). So, let’s rejoice in what He is doing among us and through us, not as an end, but as a means to greater rejoicing in Him.

All earthly joys are shadows of the joy found in Christ, which is why they taste so good. But, understanding they are shadows, and not the substance, will keep us from making idols of them while setting us free to seek to do big things with our big God without our hope being in them. It is amazing what God can do with people that are hungry for Him and happy in Him. Our city needs more people like that. By God’s grace, may we be among them. He is risen!

Christ is all!

You Want to Come to Our Good Friday Gathering

, , Event | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

LD.GF_final.blog(620x130)In case you are new to Downtown Cornerstone or Christianity or attending our Good Friday gathering – this quick note is for you.

Good Friday and Easter go together.

Setting aside time to reflect on Good Friday will make your Easter celebration all the richer. Our weekend of reflecting on and rejoicing in Jesus’ great rescue begins on Friday, not merely Sunday, so I want to invite you all to join us at AMC tomorrow night at 6:30pm.

Our Good Friday gatherings are unique and unlike our usual weekly gatherings.

We’ve added some new elements this year to create a fresh experience of the ancient story we’re celebrating. Our team has been working hard on creating a distinct, gospel-centered, worshipful time.

A few things to keep in mind.

First, we are offering free 3-hour parking validation for everyone. Yes, everyone. Yes, free. Hard to beat gathering with Jesus’ people plus free parking downtown on a Friday.

Second, our Cornerstone Kids team will be in full effect. Yes, your kids will be tired after a late night out. Have them sleep in on Saturday or give them an extra nap on Friday beforehand. You won’t regret it.

Third, plan to arrive early, not merely for the sake of navigating downtown crowds but for the sake of your soul. Leverage this gathering for the health of your soul and plan ahead. Arrive early and take some time to pray and read the scriptures. The theater will be open 20 minutes prior to our start time.

Fourth, lastly, let’s be praying for Jesus to save, awaken and reinvigorate souls to the breathtaking reality of his grace and redemption this weekend.

Genuinely looking forward to being with you all this weekend.

Because the tomb is empty,
Pastor Adam

Happy Birthday, DCC! Come Celebrate with Us

Event, News | by Pastor David Parker

BirthdayPromo_0314_620x130_CS_f

Three years ago a small group of people began praying about planting a new Jesus-loving, Bible-believing, Gospel-centered church in the heart of downtown Seattle. Since that time, we’ve seen Jesus move and work in and through our body in countless ways. We’ve watched many trust Jesus as their Lord and Savior and be baptized, watched many grow in understanding all that God is for us in Jesus Christ, and lived lots of life on mission, loving and serving this great city Jesus has placed us in!

The mission of Downtown Cornerstone is to build a great city, through the Gospel, for the glory of God. By God’s grace, we’re seeing that happen, and asking Him to do above and beyond all we can think or imagine this next year!

We invite you to join us for our birthday, this Sunday, April 6th @ 10AM, as we recognize and celebrate all that God is doing among us!
