A big idea expository message from Micah 1
INTRODUCTION: In the movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” Kevin McCarthy's character yells to passersby: “They’re coming! They’re here already! You’re next!” The effect is unsettling and disturbing, yet the other characters in the film go on about their business more or less as if nothing had ...read more
Scripture: Micah 1:1-16
Denomination: Evangelical/Non-Denominational
Getting "woke" is big in our culture. Peter got woke to Jesus. Knowing Jesus gave him an entirely new mental map for life.
These last four weeks we’ve been on a journey together. It’s been a personal journey. We’ve been following a roadmap. A roadmap of discovering Jesus, and allowing him to purge and remove sinful habits, attitudes, thinking and living from our lives. Not because he’s mean that because he knows what’s ...read more

First in a series on the early church from Acts 1-4. This message deals with how to wait on God.
Note: Although my outline is very similar to a great sermon by Medford Foskey on this same passage, I only read his sermon after completing most of the work on mine. However I did "steal" his opening story. “It is a sin to be good if God has called us to be great.” That is the first line from ...read more

This was my message for the first Sunday of 2020 sharing what God had laid on my heart for the New Year.
It’s a brand-new year, a brand-new decade and a chance for everyone to have 2020 vision. As we were preparing to step over the line into 2020, I realized that I was now entering my fourth decade at Cornerstone. The nineties, Y2K to 2010, 2010 to 2019 and now the Roaring Twenties. And that ...read more

As we move away from COVID restrictions this message was to remind folks why we worship in person
I never thought I would see the day in Canada that Christians would be unable to come together, in person, to worship. Then again, I never imagined a Global Pandemic either. The joke with pastors is that we all skipped the class on pastoring in a pandemic. I’ve been asked many times if what we are ...read more

Friends, some stories hush a room. They slip in like a soft wind and stir the curtains of the soul. Acts 5 is one of those stories. It starts with open hands and generous hearts in the early church, and then a sudden stillness falls. Have you ever smiled on the outside while your soul flinched ...read more
