    Cornerstone Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 3, 2022
     | 4,434 views

    Placing the stone in your hand at the foot of the cross means that you are willing to no longer see yourself or the world as the guiding force at the center of your life and remind you that Jesus is the Cornerstone that guides our hearts, our thoughts, and our actions.

    Cornerstone. The “cornerstone” is the first stone that is set when you start building with stone or brick. It’s the most important part of the building because the position of all the other stones or bricks are determined by the cornerstone. [Hold up piece of paper or bulletin.] Imagine that ...read more

     | 3,884 views

    Jesus' followers had to very carefully examine the evidence for Jesus' resurrection, even when it was right before their faces, to believe. In the same way, you owe it to yourself to examine the evidence & come to the same conclusion they did!

    This world is a dangerous place. If there’s any lesson the congregation of Risen King may have learned over the past three months or so is just how vulnerable we human being are to tragedies that may overtake us very suddenly. That the world is a dangerous place is something that most of being to ...read more

    By Participating The Discipleship Of My Church Series

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Oct 20, 2015
     | 5,659 views

    Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were I.

    It is one of the most commonly used terms in the church and yet it may very well be one of the least understood concepts in all of Christianity. It is often viewed as some kind of standardized method, much like an assembly line, that is intended to keep churning out a standardized product. But ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Nov 8, 2021
     | 3,091 views

    The aim of this sermon is to help us to capture a vision of God's holiness so that we realize that we must take God's holiness as seriously as God does and to strive to be holy like God is.

    A. One day Charlie Brown and Lucy and Linus were lying on the ground, looking up at the sky. 1. Lucy says, “Aren’t the clouds beautiful? They look like big balls of cotton. I could just lie here all day and watch them drift by.” 2. Then Lucy says, “If you use your imagination, you can see lots of ...read more

    It’s costly to follow Christ, but the cost is worth it.

    This week I was working on this message at a McDonald’s when I met a man who told me to keep the sermon short. Did one of you put him up to this? Before leaving, he passed along some words of wisdom: “The brain can only absorb what the seat can endure.” I’m going to take that to heart today, ...read more

    Psalm 32 - Acknowledging Our Sin Is To Be Our Regular Practice

    Contributed by Neil Olcott on Jul 29, 2023
     | 1,738 views

    Have you ever felt that your relationship with God has been, not just stagnant, but wooden and hollow, with no life, no relationship, no joy, no vibrancy or flourishing? Like it is forced and faked and empty?

    This morning we are looking at Psalm 32 and we find that it is written by King David. It’s a psalm paired with Psalm 51. They’re bound together. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love.” And they’re bound together because the context of the psalm is 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12. ...read more

    As we look at our Gregorian calendars there are three hundred and sixty five days on our calendars. Most of the days are just routine days that we do the same thing day after day.

    But there are some days that are special, and we look forward to them. Let me mention four days on our calendar that I personally consider special. • Mother’s Day • Father’s Day • Christmas • Easter Christmas and Easter are the only two religious holiday’s days we have on our calendars.
