    Contributed by Sheila Crowe on Aug 6, 2009
     | 4,668 views

    We need to restore to society a common moral code by being a light of Christ actively involved in our communities. Religion should be in government but government must not be in religion

    As we struggle to understand to live out our faith and God’s will in our lives, we know that God does in fact care about all of the issues we will address during our Tough Issues Sermon series. Can anyone who is a believer truly think that God does not care what we think regarding criminal justice ...read more

    Faith does not rest on the heart like foam on beer, said Martin Luther. Gideon's faith is active in this episode as he the spiritual idolatry of his own people.

    How was your first day of school? Did the teacher give you a test? Were you assigned any projects? Did you get any homework at all? In my experience the first day of school was a day to get books, meet the teacher, and catch up with friends. It was probably one of the easiest days of the school ...read more

    Attempts to reveal all the activities that cause unholiness and shows how holy-living can be enforced in one’s life when it seems difficult to remain holy.

    Our God is holy; the reason why you may be living an unholy life is that YOU haven’t done what you are supposed to do to stop it and you may have been defeated into thinking it’s impossible to live a holy life. However, be informed today that it is incumbent on you, it behooves you—which ever way ...read more

    Attempts to reveal all the activities that cause unholiness and shows how holy-living can be enforced in one’s life when it seems difficult to remain holy.

    Sexual immorality will easily come to mind as an agent of defilement of a holy life; furthermore, a person who has indulged in making the body unclean has also grieved the Holy Spirit and is about crucifying Jesus a second time! (Ephesians 4:30, Hebrews 6:6). We have been taught in the scripture ...read more

     | 13,597 views

    God is all powerful. Yet He allows Satan to carry out his deceitful and destructive activities—within certain limits—for a purpose.

    We live in a world full of trouble and problems; there are problems after problems. Pollution, natural resources running out, population growth outstripping resources worldwide, etcetera. And then there are individual problems to contend with such as pain, suffering, and death, just to name a few. ...read more

    A New Year Sermon, but can be used any time to challenge people to CHOOSE to change actions or activities in their lives that keep us from God’s will.

    JUDGMENT IS COMING! We, however, need to be very careful to not miss what God is doing in the world! He is actively at work reaching people we might not expect!

    Cornerstone Church November 2, 2014 “Rahab – Rescued and Redeemed” Joshua 2 “In Genesis 18:25, Abraham asked a question that puts things in perspective: ‘Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?’ As humans, we recoil from the concept of judgment. We ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 13,644 views

    Somebody that sleep and the one that is dead have something in common: they have both lost control of conscious activities and have become insensitive to things happening around them.

    AWAKING FROM SLEEP AND ARISING FROM THE DEAD Study Text: Ephesians 5: 1 – 17 Introduction: - We live in a hard, dark world, a world that is dominated and driven by sin. In the midst of that darkness and depravity, God has redeemed a people. - He has redeemed a people that He expects to be ...read more

     | 9,672 views

    The Bible talks about three types of listeners: active, passive, and forgetful. Only one leads to blessing and life, so it is imperative it is the type of listening we do.

    Introduction There is a Peanuts comic strip where Peppermint Patty and her friend are walking to school. Peppermint Patty says, “I think I’m going to ask to be Mary in the Christmas pageant.” Her friend replies, “The teacher already asked me.” Patty says, “I think I’m going to ask today.” “She ...read more

    It's All The Same To Me

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jul 6, 2020
     | 2,333 views

    With all of the divisiveness going on, we need to remember that we are all the same in our need for God. Job 33 gives a few of the same needs and activities.

    1. Some will remember that on August 28, 1963, when 250K people traveled to Washington, D.C. for the largest civil rights demonstration in American history. The multitudes heard a 34 year-old preacher named Martin Luther King, Jr. say these words: “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of ...read more

     | 4,728 views

    Abiding in Jesus is a command that requires an active and obedient response. May we develop and deepen our loving and intimate relationship with God our Father through Christ.

    JESUS DOES NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF YOUR LIFE! JESUS REQUIRES THAT HE IS TO BE LORD OF ALL AREAS OF OUR LIFE! EVERYTHING! NO DIVIDED LOYALTIES NOR WILL HE ALLOW ANY OTHER GODS BEFORE HIM. HE MUST BE THE CENTER OF FOCUS. THIS IS THE GREAT TRAGEDY OF GENESIS 3:9, “BUT THE LORD GOD CALLED TO THE MAN, ...read more

     | 2,296 views

    Do not be lazy, neither spiritually nor physically. Be active in prayer and fasting as well as doing what you have to do physically for success. Live a balanced life

    Moral Leadership: Becoming A Change Agent In Times Of Global Crisis

    Contributed by Joel Tejedo on Apr 27, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,262 views

    Change agent is the one that acts or exerts power to change and transform a difficult situation. A change agent is someone that produces or is capable of producing an effect, an active, or effecient cause.

    So Pharaoh asked them, "Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the Spirit of God." One of my favorite Bible characters that describes a change agent is Joseph the dreamer, the second youngest son of Jacob. Because of his dream, he was subject to the jealousy if his siblings ...read more

    Forces That Promote Divine Lifting

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Nov 4, 2025
     | 356 views

    Divine lifting is the supernatural promotion that comes from God alone. Certain spiritual and moral forces activate this elevation when a believer aligns with God’s principles.

    FORCES THAT PROMOTE DIVINE LIFTING By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 75:6-7 Key Verse: “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” (Psalm 75:6-7) Supporting Texts: Deuteronomy ...read more

     | 4,021 views

    There are two dangers in Christian life. First, is the danger of excessive activity, work without rest. Second, is the danger of too much withdrawal. Jesus calls to balance it.

    Mark 6:31-32 Come Rest a while He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while” —for there were many [people who were continually] coming and going, and they could not even find time to eat.
