    Individual Responsibility

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,581 views

    This message looks at an excuse that the Israelites used for not serving the Lord. It was an excuse, which they hoped would exempt them from their own sins and their own individual responsibility; and the excuse was very shallow.

    To begin our message this evening I wish to share a story. “A farmer once asked his neighbor if he might borrow a rope. ‘Sorry,’ said the neighbor. ‘I’m using my rope to tie up my milk.’ ‘Rope can’t tie up milk,’ said the farmer. ‘I know,’ replied the neighbor, ‘but when a man doesn’t want to ...read more

    What Should Really Matter In Life?

    The Bible clearly reveals what was important to the Lord. And the things that were important to Him should also be important to us. But that is not the case for some folks. It is amazing what some people see as important.

    Illus: Clovis Chappell, a minister from a century back, used to tell the story of two paddle boats. They left Memphis about the same time, traveling down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. As they traveled side by side, sailors from one vessel made a few remarks about the snail's pace of the ...read more

    Freedom From Generational Curses

    Contributed by James Dina on Jan 24, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,470 views

    Why would God want you to confess the sins of your father or mother when you had nothing to do with their sins in the first place? He wants you to know the severity of their sins. A generational curse comes through the blood line and can only be cancelled by the blood of Jesus.

    FREEDOM FROM GENERATIONAL CURSES “Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation” (Exodus ...read more

    Jesus is our Jubilee. In Him, all debts are forgiven. In Him, all slaves are set free.

    The Always God Part 7 - Always Restoring Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to Isaiah 61. We’ll start off there, but like we often do, we will end up in a different place than where we started, so you might want to go ahead and bookmark John 9 as well.

    A Position Of Transition

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 5, 2021
     | 6,559 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

    Mother's Day: This message addresses singleness, and speaks to single women and single mothers. It even speaks to widows. If you are searching for love, then look no further, because the answer is found in God and Jesus.

    This morning, for our Mother’s Day message, I’m going to approach this holiday from a different angle. The normal approach is to celebrate our mothers and compliment them for their many sacrifices, which is definitely warranted; however, today, I going to share some practical help from the ...read more

    The son of promise was born, lived and then died early in life. What God had promised seemed to come crashing down and it left the Shunammite woman heartbroken. In desperation she reached out to Elisha who had promised the son to the woman in the first place.

    In Colossians 2:4-15, Paul begins to address the reason for Paul's letter to the Colossians. Paul warns them about the danger that the false teachers pose and gives them instructions about how to fortify themselves and protect their spiritual life.

    Just because a person becomes saved does not mean the end of God's expectations for us. We plant seeds to please the Holy Spirit and not the flesh so that we might receive a harvest that is eternal, holy and pleasing to the Lord!

    Anger Is A Threat To Self-Control (12th Sunday After Pentecost 2024)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 8, 2024
     | 895 views

    One of those weapons that Satan has used very well through all generations is “fits of anger” (see Galatians 5:20 ESV). I once read a sentence sermon that went like this: "He who angers you controls you".

    ANGER IS A THREAT TO SELF-CONTROL Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2 Ephesians 4:25-32  So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another.  (26)  Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ...read more

    This Psalm of Ascent has its focus on Israel and the constant persecution it endured. We look at the role churches played in this persecution (and Martin Luther). History must NOT be eradicated but we need to learn from it.
