    Arrested Series

    Contributed by Tim White on May 11, 2014
     | 6,472 views

    The enemies of the cross at Jesus' arrest show us strong lessons about the Kingdom of Christ.

    When we hear the word, “arrested”, we think of criminals. Criminals are an unusual sort, as far as I can tell. I hear tell of a set of criminal brothers who did all sorts of crime. As a matter of fact, if a crime occurred in this small community, one, if not both, of these boys had ...read more

    The Tower Of Babel

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 14, 2014
     | 17,971 views

    The story of the Tower of Babel is a sad description of the breakdown of fellowship, of failure in communication, growing isolation and confusion. It all results from human beings failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements.

    11-12-04 The Tower of Babel Genesis 11:1-11:9 1 At that time all mankind spoke a single language. 2 As the population grew and spread eastward, a plain was discovered in the land of Babylon and was soon thickly ...read more

    Friends In High Places Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 18, 2014
    based on 15 ratings
     | 37,661 views

    What impressed Jesus in this story was the faith of the men who'd brought their friend to him - a friend who was crippled and lived in a low place of life. The phrase is "Jesus saw their faith." What does that mean? And what can it mean to us?

    A few years back, Garth Brooks came out with a popular Country and Western song called: “I’ve Got Friends In Low Places” How many of you have ever heard the song? (when most of them raised their hands, I stage whispered: “Pagans”) It has a catchy tune, but it is NOT a ...read more

    God, Why Don't You Do Something

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Apr 20, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,968 views

    The question was asked by Christ on the cross and we often ask it as we look at the Easter Story, God Why Don' t you do something. The reality is that he was doing something

    Matthew 27:46 At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” How many times have we asked ourselves the same question that Jesus asked as he hung dying on the cross? ...read more

    "The Resurrection - What Now?"

    Contributed by Rick Finitzer on Apr 23, 2014
     | 5,805 views

    The timid and fearful Apostles after seeing the Resurrected Christ and were filled with the Holy Spirit shared the message of the Risen Christ fervently and fearlessly! Are we living victoriously for Christ? Like Paul do we still want to know Christ?

    Cornerstone Church Easter Sunday 4.20.14 “The Resurrection – What Now?” Philippians 3:10-11 “It was the worst of times and going to be the best of times!” The early band of Followers (Christians) were devastated on Friday. The one they ...read more

    Looks at the gift of the tomb that Jesus was buried in

    When our daughter, Deborah, was preparing to depart for Odessa in Ukraine in 2008 she had to sign a form stating how she wished to have her remains disposed of if anything happened to her while she was overseas.

    Contributed by Rick Crandall on Apr 28, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,944 views

    The Day of Pentecost matters to us: 1. Because it was a new dispensation in God's plan (vs. 1-4). 2. Because it was a great demonstration of God's power (vs. 2-11). 3. Because it was a bold declaration of God's pardon (vs. 11-21).

    Why Pentecost Matters to Us Acts 2:1-21 (Initial reading: vs. 1-4) Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - May 26, 2013 *Some days seem to matter a whole lot more than others: June 6, 1944 -- The D-Day invasion in Normandy.

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 30, 2014
     | 5,586 views

    Psalm 13, for instance, presents the prayer of a man in deep depression. I’ll bet that most, if not all of us are depressed from time-to-time. Today, we know that depression may be the result of many different factors.

    Have you ever known someone you though was a “tough case” when it came to believing in Christ? The conversion of the tough Roman jailor in Philippi shows that even the tough cases can be saved by a Christian faith that is real.
