    The Generosity Of The Book Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Apr 19, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,130 views

    Sometimes people think that that there is no place for talk of money from the pulpit but the Scriptures speak about money, giving and generosity from beginning to end. This message looks at thoughts on generosity from the Book.

    This is week two or three of Money Month at Cornerstone, depending on how you count. Two weeks ago we at least gave a nod to the fact that this is the month that we deal with Money at Cornerstone when I preached on A Generous Easter, and then last week was our 20th Anniversary and I preached on ...read more

    Jesus was misunderstood by his father and mother, his family, political forces, and his followers (Seed thoughts from Back to God Hour, February 1989, Volume 35, Number 2)

    HoHum: John began to think about how blessed he was to have such a wonderful wife, and he decided to show his appreciation. So he went out and bought a box of candy and a dozen roses.

    Faith, Hope And Love Series

     | 7,066 views

    Authentic faith produces good things. This message is the first in a series on 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Thanks to Pastor Derrick Tuper for his thoughts that contributed to this message (see notation in text)

    Paul couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to know how the church in Thessalonica was doing. After all, he had poured himself into that congregation and sacrificed deeply to teach its members the gospel. But now Satan was attacking it with persecution, doubt, and trial. Were the believers ...read more

    Things God Will Not Tell Us

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 19, 2020
     | 6,102 views

    God permits His people to think His thoughts after Him. However, our finite minds are unable to discover all that can be known of God and of His work in the lives of people.

    “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” [1] You should always be suspicious of the one who claims superior knowledge. Should he claim to know the deep secrets of God, RUN! ...read more

     | 7,109 views

    Paul tells us to present our bodies as living sacrifices. How are we transformed into a living sacrifice and live that out? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell

    Read passage and pray. For the month of January, we’re preaching on the theme of Collide. The idea is that the ways of God often collide with the ways of the world. How do we conduct ourselves to align with God and point the world to Him? Last week, Jeff shared how to stand firm, today, ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 27, 2022
     | 1,537 views

    Paul shares his inner thoughts and heartfelt desire with the Thessalonians. His testimony was blameless as he laboured for the believers at Thessalonica, but he always encountered opposition. We look at walking with God.

    MESSAGE 2 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 2 - PAUL RECOUNTS HIS TIME IN THESSALONICA AND SATAN’S OPPOSITION THE PERSONAL RECALL {{1Thessalonians 2:1-2 “You yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain, but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, as you ...read more

    “Seek” implies striving, and “Set your mind” implies concentration. “Mind” includes understanding, attitude, and will. It means to employ one’s faculty for thoughtful planning, emphasizing the underlying disposition.

    Text: Colossians 3:2 Theme: Seek things from above KJV: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. CSB: Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.

     | 3,191 views

    God has been recycling a long time – with people! Some people are thought to be useless for any good, but God knows how to remake us into something very valuable for His kingdom.

    GOD RECYCLES PEOPLE Lk. 19:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man was driving his bossy sister around & she told him he was driving too fast. Just to show who was in charge, he stepped on the accelerator. 2. Just then a police car pulled behind him, lights flashing. A 6’6” policeman towered ...read more

    This message is part of a series from the Sermon Series Kits offered on sermoncentral.com I have used the outline and added my own illustrations, application and thoughts as led by the Holy Spirit.

    Many people have a fear of the dark. I don't like darkness. I had to come over to the church late at night. I made my daughter come with me. I was not going into a dark building alone. Today we begin a new series "Glow in the Dark." It's no secret our world is living in ...read more

    God is interested in giving you a new song. If you continue waiting on Him, you will soon sing and dance. The thought of God toward you is of peace ... to bring you to an expected end.

     | 1,433 views

    What must the angels have thought when the Lord they loved -- Jesus -- was announced as going down to be born as a lowly human? How must it have affected them when He was crucified?

    THE DAY THE ANGELS WEPT Luke 2:8-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A teacher decided to ask her students what their Christmas traditions were. “What traditions does your family do at Christmas?” 2.

    What did the Psalmist mean by blessed and how does avoiding the slippery slope of sin help us become blessed? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    We’re beginning a new sermon series this week called Psalms that can change your life. Music can make such an impact in our lives, as we’ll see from this collection of worship songs found in the book of Psalms. It only seemed appropriate to begin at the very beginning with Psalm 1.

    A Deliberately Staged Demonstration Series

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Jun 4, 2025

    Main thought: This morning we will look at the set up for a confrontation between Jesus and the rulers and authorities, as well as the Jewish concept of a Messiah who would bring deliverance from Roman oppression.

    Background to passage, Matthew 21:1-11: Jesus has been moving toward Jerusalem for some time now. He has come down from Galilee on his final approach. From Jericho (their last stop), it would have been a 6-8 hr walk uphill covering 15 miles and over 3000’ of elevation. He had predicted his death ...read more

    Taking Action Through Faith SermonCentral

    Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 12, 2023

     | 1,070 views

    Trust is Faith in ACTION!!! It is the manifestation of our faith in our thoughts and actions. It is far easier to have faith in God; there are unbelievers who have this. It is a lot harder to exercise trust in Him...

    Today, we will explore the topic of trust and how it relates to our faith in God. Trust is not the same as faith; it is the active expression of our faith through our thoughts and actions. While it may be easier to have faith in God, it is much harder to exercise trust in Him. Trust requires us to ...read more
