    Control Freak

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 15, 2023
     | 2,412 views

    Have you ever known a controlling type person? What's at the heart of being a control freak? You may be thinking of someone who needs to hear this sermon but just because we may not be a 'control freak' that doesn't mean we don't have any control issues.

    CONTROL FREAK Have you ever known someone who could have this label attached to them? People who feel they have to control you, the situation; everything? There are people who like to micromanage things. There are people who get very upset if you don't take their advice. People who have a ...read more

     | 1,165 views

    2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." Last week we saw how we can counter fear by operating in God's power. Today we'll see our need to overcome fear to operate in the spirit of love and self-discipline.

    POWER, LOVE AND SELF-DISCIPLINE (part two) Recap: 2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline."

    Power, Love And Self-Discipline (Part One Of Two)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 31, 2023
     | 1,302 views

    At a men's retreat I noticed the verse on the back of the shirt of the guy sitting ahead of me. 2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." I pondered that and wondered how power, love and self-discipline counter fear.

    Stormy Seas

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 28, 2023
     | 2,692 views

    The bible is full of exciting stories. Some of them involve tumultuous weather on the open seas. In Acts 27, Paul was on a ship headed for Rome. They were hoping to make it to Crete and winter there. But their smooth sailing became incredibly rough.

    STORMY SEAS Acts 27:13-44 The bible is full of exciting stories. Some of them involve tumultuous weather on the open seas. We have the story of the violent storm that threatened the lives of the Apostles while Jesus was asleep. They woke him and Jesus quieted the storm. There's the story of ...read more

    There are times when we might stray from the Lord. Sometimes it lasts for a short period; sometimes it's for a longer period. When it happens God longs for our return and he never gives up on us.

    RETURN TO ME There are times when we might stray from the Lord. Sometimes it lasts for a short period; sometimes it's for a longer period.

    There are some interesting things that happened at the feet of Jesus. And each event carried a specific significance to it. Today we'll focus on three of them.

    In Christ (Part Two)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 1,502 views

    In part one of In Christ, I talked about how being in Christ means we live a new life. And in Christ there is now no condemnation. However, we need to keep the faith and persevere to the end. I conclude with the fact that in Christ we are blessed and we are one.

    IN CHRIST (part two) Recap: In part one of In Christ, I talked about how being in Christ means we live a new life. We pattern our lives after the example set forth by Jesus and the other men and women of faith. Paul said ,'follow my example as I follow Christ'. In this new life we think, ...read more

    In Christ (Part One )

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 1,785 views

    Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now considered to be 'in Christ'. It's an interesting phrase used to refer followers of Jesus but what does it mean?

    IN CHRIST (part one) Last week my sermon was based on Jesus' words to the teacher of the law when he told him he was not far from the kingdom of God. Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now ...read more

    Not Far From The Kingdom Of God

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 1,980 views

    You've heard the phrase, "close but no cigar". It communicates that getting almost there is not good enough. Jesus had an encounter with a teacher of the law in Mark 12 where he tells him that he was not far from the kingdom of God.

    NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD Mark 12:28-34 You've heard phrases like, "close but no cigar" or “almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades”.

     | 2,348 views

    There are wooden crosses, metal crosses. Some are big, some are small. Some are plain, some are fancy. Cross necklaces are popular. But the cross is not just a decoration or a piece of jewelry. The cross of Christ represents so much more than that.

    THE CROSS OF CHRIST You can look around NSCC and see many crosses. There are wooden crosses, metal crosses. Some are big, some are small. Some are plain, some are fancy.

    God's Not Like Us

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 4,169 views

    I was watching an American Gospel production and it showed a bible opened to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you thought I was altogether like you". Thinking God is like us puts human thinking and reasoning into the mind of God. But God is not like us.

    GOD'S NOT LIKE US I was watching a trailer for an American Gospel production about how the gospel had become watered down in America and how some churches are conforming to please the masses. At one point it cut to a shot of a bible opened up to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you ...read more

    Have you ever heard someone say, 'I don't care what people think about me'? Should we care what people think about us? Well...yes and no.

    SHOULD I CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME? John 8:48-54 Have you ever heard someone say, 'I don't care what people think about me'? Most of the time when I hear someone say this there's an edge to it, telling me that deep down they really do care; otherwise their tone would be ...read more

    Come To The Table

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 4,192 views

    The table is more than just a place to have a meal. Other things happen at the kitchen or dining room table. Conversations take place at the table; people play games and do projects at the table. Special things happen at the table.

    COME TO THE TABLE We just had Thanksgiving where we got together with family and friends and gathered around the table. We like to hear that call, "dinner's ready, everyone come to the table". But that's not just a call to come and eat. The table is more than just a place to have ...read more

    A Position Of Transition

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 5, 2021
     | 5,672 views

    As I thought about what my sermon topic would be on this final Zoom service the word transition came to mind. As I thought about the transitions that were made throughout scripture, a couple stood out to me. Let's take a look.

    A POSITION OF TRANSITION As I thought about what my sermon topic would be on this final Zoom service the word transition came to mind. Transition means change, move, switch, alteration, modification. I can see how all of these could apply to what's happening with Cornerstone. We are making a ...read more

    Last week we talked about having complete joy, complete unity and completing the task. Today we conclude by looking at how God's love is made complete in us, having complete faith and being complete Christians.

    COMPLETELY (part two) Last week we talked about having complete joy, complete unity and completing the task. There's joy and then there's complete joy-the joy that is constant and not temporary; the joy that is there despite my circumstances. In John 15, Jesus communicated his love for ...read more
