Broken or Crushed

In this compelling message titled "Broken or Crushed," based on Matthew 21:42–44, Pastor Dave Cash explores the image of Jesus as the ultimate "cornerstone"—the essential foundational stone used by ancient builders to align and stabilize an entire structure. Drawing from Old Testament prophecies in Psalms, Isaiah, and Daniel, as well as the lives of Moses, Joseph, and David, the sermon highlights that human rejection never cancels God's divine purpose, showing how God frequently uses seasons of trial and obscurity to humble and refine His servants for greater impact. Ultimately, the pastor presents two unavoidable choices when confronted with Christ: we can either fall upon the cornerstone in humble surrender and be "broken" unto salvation, or the stone will eventually fall upon us in sovereign judgment and "crush" us, urging believers to align every area of their lives solely with Jesus.
