Romans 2 – Guilty as Charged (Part 1)
God has given every person a conscience that bears witness to right and wrong. Pastor Gary explores Paul’s teaching in Romans 2, explaining why ignorance of God’s Law leaves no one without accountability and how our God-given conscience points to His existence and our need for Him.
Romans 1 – When A Culture Excludes God (Part 2)
Pastor Gary continues his examination of Romans 1 and the consequences of rejecting God’s truth. While Scripture confronts humanity’s sin without compromise, it also points every sinner toward forgiveness and salvation through Jesus Christ, reminding us that genuine love speaks the truth.
Romans 1 – When A Culture Excludes God (Part 1)
What happens when a culture deliberately removes God from the equation? Pastor Gary examines Romans 1 to explain how rejecting the Creator leads humanity away from truth and toward sin. Yet even in a rebellious world, God continues to reveal Himself through His creation, grace, and mercy.
Romans 1 – First, The Bad News (Part 2)
Creation itself provides powerful evidence of God’s existence, leaving humanity without excuse for rejecting Him. Pastor Gary explores Paul’s teaching in Romans 1, explaining how the wonder and complexity of creation point unmistakably to a Creator—and why sinful humanity desperately needs a Savior.
Romans 1 – First, The Bad News (Part 1)
Pastor Gary begins a new study through Romans by explaining why the Gospel’s good news must begin with bad news. Before we can fully appreciate God’s grace and mercy, we must understand the reality of human sin, rebellion, and our need for salvation through Christ.

About Gary Hamrick
Pastor Gary Hamrick joined full-time ministry in 1987 as a high school youth pastor, and in 1991, Cornerstone Chapel’s 18 charter members asked him to become the church’s first pastor. Today, Cornerstone is home to several thousand weekly worshipers whom Pastor Gary desires to equip through the teaching of God’s Word, relating Biblical truth to everyday life in practical, relevant, and often humorous ways.
Pastor Gary received Christ as his personal Lord and Savior when he was in high school and soon wrestled with a call to ministry. He initially denied that calling and instead pursued a communications degree at American University with aspirations in broadcast journalism. However, he surrendered to God’s calling, transferred schools, completed a Bachelor of Biblical Studies, and received his ordination from Pastor Chuck Smith and the Calvary Chapel Association.
Pastor Gary married his wife Terri in 1987, and they have three grown children (who also serve in ministry) and nine grandchildren. Terri volunteers with our Women’s Ministry and served for many years as its director. Today she continues her ministry work in a supporting role, while also relishing her role as a grandmother and source of support to Pastor Gary and their children.
Pastoring in the shadow of the Nation’s Capital has allowed Pastor Gary opportunities to meet and pray with government officials such as the President, Cabinet Secretaries, Supreme Court Justices, members of Congress, and the Governor of Virginia.
He is on the Board of Directors at the Museum of the Bible and the Family Research Council, both in Washington D.C. His radio broadcast, “Cornerstone Connection” airs weekdays on over 600 radio stations, and Cornerstone’s online campus reaches thousands of people across the country and around the globe.
Pastor Gary is an avid news “junkie” and enjoys fishing, camping, playing sports, woodworking, and especially spending time with his family.
