    A good leader will interact with two main groups of people: the great (humanly speaking) and the small (humanly speaking).

    Why Does God Speak In A Still Small Voice?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 2, 2024
     | 896 views

    How often do we, as Christians, take time to listen to the voice of God? Does He have to talk to us with a raised voice or a quiet one?

    Before we attempt to provide an answer to our question, let us take a moment, look at the Scripture, and gather a history of the situation. In preceding chapter, Elijah has rebuked the evil king Ahab and has had a contest with the evil prophets, wins the contest, and has the evil prophets slain. ...read more

    Last week I highlighted that Cornerstone has lost some people over the last year. Although that can be discouraging, there are still plenty of reasons to be positive about the future of our church. Let's continue our story about Gideon and see what happens next.

     | 989 views

    A healthy church functions like a well-orchestrated body—each member contributing uniquely, speaking truth in love, and allowing God's Word to transform our community from within.

    Healthy Church Growing Together in Christ Introduction A healthy church isn't merely a gathering of individuals under one roof but a living organism where every member functions in harmony toward a divine purpose. In Ephesians 4:15-16, Paul uses the metaphor of a body to describe the church, ...read more

    From House To House

     | 5,530 views

    Based on a New Testament understanding of a church, and based on the ministry of the early apostles, we learn that believers did not always assemble in a public place of worship. Much of the time they met in one another’s homes.

    This morning I want to address the topic of “doing church.” and I’m going to begin by asking the question, “Where are Christians supposed to assemble together for worship and fellowship?” In Acts 17:24, Paul declared, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and ...read more

    Why Don't We Grow

     | 30,877 views

    We’re not surprised when we grow physically; we expect it. If, by chance, growth doesn’t occur, we immediately know something is wrong and attempt to uncover the problem. The same is true spiritually

    WHY WE DON’T GROW Judges 17:13-15 Statistics show the average productivity of a Christian’s spiritual life is less than three years. Tonight I want to bring encouragement to those who are sidetracked and to strengthen those who are on the right track. Billy Sunday used to say, “If we Christians ...read more

    We like to think of the gospel as a huge behemoth, but it is actually an incredibly powerful force in a very unassuming package.

    Passage: Matthew 13:31-35 Intro: We’ve all had those moments, which some people calls “Aha moments” 1. something that has been a little mystifying becomes clear (er) 2. the longer we live, we see that the world is divided. 3. not the little divisions, but the one big one ...read more

     | 7,103 views

    Paul understood that God had a plan for him and that even though he had his own desires, he should make plans in accord Gods plan, and sometimes this meant that he would need to be flexible in his own plans.

    . . . that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other ...read more

    On Your Mark, Get Set, Grow

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 28, 2009
     | 8,786 views

    Growth can come by pruning, cultivating, or simply letting it happen. God wants the church to grow, and all these methods are used.

    Growth takes place in one of three ways. Things grow because one of three things happens. First, some things grow just because it is in the very nature of those things to grow. You don’t have to do anything, you don’t have to feed them or nourish them or encourage them. Some things just grow. ...read more
