    Do You Really Have Faith?

    Contributed by James May on Mar 17, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,279 views

    Faith is pure trust in the ability and will of God to perform his promises in your life. We prove our faith is alive through works of righteousness. Just believe, hear and obey His Word and leave the rest to the Lord.

    Do You Really Have Faith? Sunday, March 17, 2019 By Rev James May Let us begin this morning by reading a very familiar verse to anyone who is a Christian.

    Give Me Patience ... Now! Series

     | 5,382 views

    It is always a bad idea to try to accomplish God’s plan in your own way and by your own timing. God’s plans come complete with His methods and His timing, and when we get impatient and try to tinker with that … well, everything gets all messed up.

    “Don’t pray for patience.” Who hasn’t heard that before, amen? It’s almost become an axiom when it comes to prayer, hasn’t it? Some of you, I suspect, believe it and have even advised someone in your family or one of your friends not to pray for patience. I disagree. I pray for patience all ...read more

    Series looking at Spiritual Warfare

    GOSPEL OF PEACE Last week I mentioned that the first time I really heard anything about Spiritual Warfare was from a church seminar at Chartwell Baptist when I was in seminary.

     | 4,957 views

    This was my message for the first Sunday of 2020 sharing what God had laid on my heart for the New Year.

    It’s a brand-new year, a brand-new decade and a chance for everyone to have 2020 vision. As we were preparing to step over the line into 2020, I realized that I was now entering my fourth decade at Cornerstone. The nineties, Y2K to 2010, 2010 to 2019 and now the Roaring Twenties. And that ...read more

    A. One Sunday after worship services, as the worshipers filed out of the sanctuary they greeted the preacher who stood by the door. 1. As one member shook the minister’s hand, he thanked him for the sermon and said, “Preacher, I would have to say that you are smarter than Einstein.” 2. Beaming ...read more

    Joy comes to those who serve others – It’s what happens when we imitate Jesus and do what he showed us to do!

    Series: Find Joy in the Journey Thesis of series: Joy needs to be experienced in the journey of life! But Joy, like any other attitude, can come and go. It is not guaranteed simply because we are born again believers. We must put ourselves in the places where experiencing joy is a possibility. ...read more

    That's Good! (Part Two)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 3, 2018
     | 4,625 views

    Last week I talked about how God is good but we are not. But we can be declared good through Christ. If we have been born again there are some things we need to be doing. We need to discern what is good and then we need to do what we know is good.

    Recap: Last week I talked about how God is good but we are not. Most people think they are good but that's because they're using the wrong standard of measurement. Rick Warren writes, "Goodness can only be measured by God. God is the standard of goodness. If we compare ourselves to ...read more

    A Promise Made Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 13, 2018
     | 6,024 views

    A faith promise prioritizes our faith, it is a sign of our trust and faith in God, and it decreases our faith in money and increases our faith in God. When we make our commitments, God doesn’t want us to do so out of guilt, compulsion, or fear from our love for Him, for His people, for His church.

    Anyone here remember … or have … a “Magic 8 Ball” when they were growing up? It looked like a giant, black number 8 pool ball only it was filled liquid and had a little window where the “8” would be.
