Sunday Morning LIVE at Cornerstone Church - 8:30am - July 5th 2026

Main message: Obedience matters — the two-letter word "if" in Deuteronomy 28 shows that God's blessings or curses come based on our choices; we must choose to obey, repent, and remain consistent in faith and prayer to receive God's favor personally and nationally.

Key points:

• The "if" is in us, not God — we have volition to obey or disobey; blessings follow obedience, curses follow disobedience (Deut. 28).
• Deuteronomy 28 contrasts clear promises of blessing (vv.1–14) with curses for disobedience (vv.15–64); Moses wrote to warn the next generation not to repeat past failures.
• National decline comes from removing God from homes, schools, and public life; revival begins when people humble themselves, pray, and turn back to God (If my people…).
• Life principles: distinguish seed (what meets part of a need) from harvest (what exceeds it), keep sowing rather than consuming increases, and persevere — consistency produces breakthrough (Gal. 6:9).
• Persistent prayer matters — Daniel’s 21-day example and the pastor’s family testimony show answers can be delayed by spiritual opposition but come to those who do not quit.
