    The Suffering Saint

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022
     | 2,189 views

    Make no mistake about it, SAINTS and SINNERS in this life suffer. Some who promote “Easy-Believism” in order to win converts to the Lord, paint a picture of the Christian life as a fairy tale.

    You accept the Lord and live happily ever after. But that is not true. SAINTS, like the SINNERS in this life have their share of suffering. • We may not suffer for the same reasons they suffer, but we suffer • Many times for the SAINTS and the SINNERS, the sufferings come from bad decisions they ...read more

    Life is great and wonderful, and very seldom do we hear about anyone who wants to depart from this wonderful life that God has blessed us with.

    Most of us enjoy the blessings of this life so immensely, we want to live as long as possible. Illus: An 80-year-old man went to a doctor for a check-up. After the examination, the doctor told him what he was hoping to hear. He said, "You're in terrific shape. There's nothing wrong ...read more

    What Kind Of Faith Saves? Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 27, 2021
     | 3,192 views

    Most of us know people who say they believe in Christ, and yet there is nothing about their lives that distinguishes from non-Christians otherwise? So what kind of faith actually saves?

    What kind of faith saves? It’s an important question. It’s a critical question because we all know many people who say they believe in Jesus. But there’s virtually nothing in their lives that sets them out as any different from the non-Christian who lives next door. They neither attend church, ...read more

    Faith That Saves Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 19, 2021
     | 6,157 views

    What is saving faith? Is it something you say, feel, or think? No, saving faith is something you do. Faith is something that must produce action and must be practiced. That's what James says in James chapter 2.

    Introduction: A. One day a nun who worked for a local home health care agency was out making her rounds when she ran out of gas. 1. Thankfully, there was a gas station just down the street. 2. So she walked to the station to borrow a gas can and get enough gas to start the car and drive to the ...read more

     | 4,020 views

    James begins chapter four with a question about what causes fights among us. He spends 12 verses discussing the causes and cures for conflict. In this sermon, we will focus on the first 6 verses that address the causes of conflict.

    Introduction: A. A boy once asked his dad, “Dad, how do wars begin?” 1. “Well,” said his father, “Take the First World War, it got started when Germany invaded Belgium.” 2. Immediately the boy’s mother interrupted, “Honey, tell the boy the truth. It began because somebody was ...read more

    Trusting God's Wisdom Series

     | 3,368 views

    We we return to God's ways according to God's wisdom and God's Word, God often begins to bless us immediately, as He did for Ruth and Naomi.

    A couple of months ago as Jeanie and I were returning from visiting relatives in Southern California, we arrived in Reno at about noon. So we decided to visit our favorite fast-food restaurant, even though we knew the food wouldn’t be fast. The reason for it being slow food had nothing to do with ...read more

    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. 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

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,363 views

    James applies the need for humility to our mindset about our lives and our plans. As he discusses the fact that our life is just a mist that appears for a little while then vanishes, we learn some sins to avoid and some things to do.

    Introduction: A. One day a doctor called one of his patients into his office to deliver some very important news. 1. “I have received the results of your tests and I have some bad news and some good news.” 2. The patient was quiet for a moment, sensing the gravity of the announcement, “Let me have ...read more

    Money Talks Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 13, 2021
     | 4,348 views

    In James 5, James comes down very hard on the rich and the sins that often accompany materialism. What we do with our money declares what we value and love. So, what is your use of money saying about you?

    Introduction: A. One evening a husband was balancing the checkbook and said to his wife, “You know the old saying, ‘money talks’? Well, ours just said, ’So long!’” 1. I know that we all feel that way sometimes, don’t we? 2. The world we live in runs on money, and it seems that we never have enough ...read more

    New Year's: We all get excited about new things and a fresh start, but this message speaks about another kind of new beginning, which is receiving a brand new spiritual life as a child of God!

    As you all know, the New Year is upon us. The entrance of the New Year is an exciting moment for most people, and I think this is because we look forward to and anticipate having new experiences. We look at the New Year as a fresh start on life, and we somehow feel that this coming year is going ...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

    All of us will face in life critical decisions must be made, times when different roads intersect. We need to figure out which way to go and what to do making the right decision when you're at a crossroads.

    The Crossroads Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it. - Jeremiah 6:16 Today I can draw your attention to Jeremiah 6:16. I want to talk to you today about ...read more

    As part of our series, last time we focused on the levels of our involvement. But it's also good to know what kind of sheaves we are harvesting. Today's sermon we will know what are things we need to consider on our harvest that God gave us.

    Intro: Good morning. 2 weeks ago, I exhorted the importance of knowing our levels of involvement that we can use in our service to God. Last week, we were exhorted by Ptr. Jeric to value the souls which we are going to harvest for Christ. Over these few weeks, we focused on the traits and values we ...read more

    When A Doggie Bag Isn't Available (Jesus Feeds The 5,000) Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Aug 2, 2024
     | 897 views

    All cards on the table now: I would have been skeptical had I been there that day. I would have been looking around to see if someone else brought food. Had He only fed the multitudes, I probably would have never believed this story.

    Today, we look at one of Jesus’ most famous miracles. We look at when He feeds the multitudes with a boy’s sack lunch. In just a few moments, we invite all believers in Christ to take the Lord’s Supper with us. Invitation After today’s message, you will be invited to respond to Jesus’ offer of a ...read more
