The Cornerstone Rejected

Oct 12, 2025    Gabe Strong

When Jesus entered the temple, the religious leaders demanded to know: “By what authority are You doing these things?”It was more than a question—it was a confrontation.


In The Cornerstone Rejected, Youth Leader Gabe Strong walks through Jesus’ parable of the vineyard and the tenants, showing how the religious elite resisted the Son sent by the Father—and how that same resistance still shows up in our lives today.

Jesus makes it clear: He is not just another teacher or prophet. He is the Cornerstone, the foundation on which everything else stands. To reject Him is to stumble; to receive Him is to stand secure.

If you’ve ever wrestled with control, pride, or surrender, this message will remind you that the Kingdom doesn’t belong to those who cling to authority—but to those who kneel before the King.
