    Jesus Wants Us To Be Around Him

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 3, 2015
     | 4,513 views

    Jesus turned to his friends and kindly said, "No, don't send them away. Let the children come to me." "Whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God as a child does, will not be able to enter into it." Loving God is easy enough for a child to do.

    Good morning boys and girls! Has anyone ever told you to get lost or go away? |Has anyone ever told you that they didn’t want you around? How did that make you feel? There is one person who will never tell us to go away. In fact, he wants all of us to come close to him. His name is Jesus. ...read more

    Happily Ever After?

     | 7,418 views

    In a society where half of marriages end in divorce, what do Jesus' words mean for us? And what's heaven going to look like when most have been married multiple times?

    A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "Ma'am, what are the grounds for your divorce?" She replied, "About four acres with a nice house in the middle." "No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?" "Concrete, brick and mortar," she ...read more

    The Complexities Of Divorce And Remarriage Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 19, 2015
     | 4,314 views

    Jesus did not deal with all the particulars of marriage, divorce, and remarriage, but he did make it clear these matters are not to be taken lightly; they are profoundly serious in nature. More like a lesson than a sermon

    The Complexities of Divorce and Remarriage (Mark 10:1-12) 1. A young cook in France, Jean Luc, decided that the French would enjoy feasting on rabbits and decided to raise rabbits in Paris and sell them to the finer restaurants in the city. Jean Luc searched all over Paris seeking a suitable place ...read more

    Displeasing Jesus Series

    There are many ways people to displease our Lord, but even His most sincere followers can trouble Him in unique ways.

    Displeasing Jesus (Mark 10:13-16) Blog stories: “Today, I went to my new job at a pre-school. I was really excited because everything was going so well, and a little boy even said he was drawing a picture of me. He even gave it to me when he was finished.

    Jesus, The Heavenly Comforter

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 31, 2015
     | 2,853 views

    When we fail to keep his perfect standards perfectly, our failures remind us that Jesus, the cross and the empty tomb is our only hope.

    The Gospel passage from Mark 10:2-16 appears at first glance to be two unrelated stories, but there is a connection between the two of them. Both stories tell us how Jesus cares for the outcasts and the less fortunate in society and how he expects us to treat them. In Old Testament times, ...read more

    It's one of the best know scenes from the Gospels, Jesus blessing the children, this message looks at why children need to be important to our local churches.

    It was just about this time of year 22 years ago. We had just moved to Bedford to start what would eventually become Cornerstone and I had to fly to Colorado to attend what was called “Church Planters Boot Camp”, an intensive week long training session that included men and women from ...read more

    What Example Do You Set For Your Children's Faith

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 18, 2016
     | 7,637 views

    What does it mean when we say, “We engage to religiously educate our children.” This is not saying that we will educate our children in religion. It says we will religiously educate.

    Last week we learned that the Gospel is all that matters. I hope we all left here with that thought embedded in our hearts so that everything in our lives will revolve around the Gospel. Well today we’re going to go a step further with that thought as we think about the message we send to ...read more

    What qualities of a child does the Lord want us to imitate? (Outline from Bob Russell in Lookout Magazine February 25, 2001 called "Becoming Childlike" pg. 14)

    HoHum: A lady was cleaning her house and singing Gospel songs as she worked. She began singing, "Soon and very soon, we are going to see the king..." Her little son was in the next room and began singing along with Mom. Something was a little off, however, so Mom stopped to listen. The ...read more

    Hometown. Comfortable confines. Known streets. Familiar sights. Our people. Our mission field? Our challenge? Our assignment?

    Hometown Pt. 3 - Playing Keep Away Introduction Apathy. It is the target of our attack. It is the epidemic of our day. We are swamped with the "I don't cares!"

    The Key To Gaining The Kingdom Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,778 views

    The keys to gaining God's Kingdom? First come to it in trust and dependence like a little child. Second realise that we can't earn it in God's sight. Third be willing to give up everything in order to gain it. Finally be willing to put yourself last

    I was at a local clergy gathering last week and the subject of children's ministry came up. One of the other ministers there commented that they'd had people complain that the children made too much noise. I'm afraid I had to admit that I too had heard the same complaint at St Theo's a number of ...read more

    God’s Love For The Hurting

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 26, 2015
     | 5,076 views

    We need to bring people to Jesus by being a Christ-like friend, by sharing what it means to follow Jesus, and by carrying thanks to Jesus in prayer. In the scene of children in the arms of a loving Jesus, there is a story to be told, lessons to be learned

    At first glance, this morning’s Gospel reading seems a little disjointed. It starts with a discussion about divorce and ends with a discussion about entering God’s kingdom like little children. While they seem to be disconnected, they really are connected. Let me try to ...read more

    God’s Cleaning Agent

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 27, 2015
     | 4,216 views

    We become part of God's family through baptism and the spiritual cleansing it gives us. Through the spiritual cleansing, we gain a new, child-like nature that allows us to be hopelessly dependent on Christ for salvation.

    I'm going to take you on a short walk down memory lane. Some of you may have heard of a singer/songwriter from the 1970s by the name of Ray Stevens. He was famous for writing and recording comedy songs such as "Bridget the Midget", "Ahab the Arab", "The Streak" and many others. He did record a few ...read more

    God's Gift Of The Magi

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 30, 2015
     | 5,251 views

    The Magi were humbled by the state of reverence that they felt for the Christ Child. That, my friends, is the appropriate motivation for worship in our church services today. We need to put away our pride and worldly baggage and worship Christ sincerely.

    Well, the 12 days of Christmas are over for another season. All of the decorations are down and put away for another year, and the presents have been opened.

    If we want to reach the next generation for Christ, we must bring a child to Jesus, be a child ourselves, and bless a child.

    Little 5-year-old Kayse Poland grew more and more excited about her first day of kindergarten, and her 3-year-old sister, Jayme, watched her with great fascination.
