    Baptism Like A Wedding Ring

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 17, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,413 views

    This sermon was prepared to help the baptism candidates understand the meaning of baptism and why baptism is necessary. I prepared for the youth group, but it would apply to adults as well.

    Baptism like a wedding ring (at Youth Gathering) Baptism like a wedding ring: Just as a wedding ring symbolizes your marriage, Baptism symbolizes your identification with Jesus. Just as a wedding ring itself doesn't make you married, Baptism doesn't make you Christian. Just as a wedding ...read more

    To understand and live in the Kingdom of God, making the choice to serve God faithfully rather than being consumed by worldly possessions, as taught in Matthew 6:24.

    Our focus today will be on a powerful teaching from the book of Matthew, chapter 6, verse 24, which challenges us to understand the Kingdom of God, to live it, and to bring it to Earth. As we embark on this journey, let's keep in mind the words of Pastor Rick Warren: "The Kingdom of God is a ...read more

    Easter: "we Had Hoped..."

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Mar 27, 2020
     | 7,653 views

    We say it, just like the 2 disciples on the way to Emmaus. Jesus 1) opens the conversation, 2) opens the Scriptures, and 3) opens our eyes. Jesus is alive, and our hope is alive!

    EASTER: “WE HAD HOPED…” --Luke 24:13-35 On a Sunday, about 2000 years ago, 2 disciples were walking down the road. It might have been 2 men, or a man and wife. They were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, about 7 miles. It was a walk of despair, for their hopes and dreams were gone. Read Luke ...read more

    The World, The Test & The Testimony Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 17, 2021
     | 3,180 views

    How are we to relate to the world around us? How will the world relate to us? All of these are critical truths Jesus wants His disciples to understand.

    I was listening to radio one afternoon recently when I heard story of a young woman in Albania who had come to faith in Christ and was a joyful, radiant Christian, witnessing to her friends about what she had found in Jesus. Then I listened with great sadness & shock to hear that this vibrant ...read more

     | 4,294 views

    God has revealed himself specifically through the Bible. The reveals God's power, his truth, his eternality, and many other characteristics. It is through the Scripture that we can know God and be saved.

    Special Revelation: The Bible What is the final form of special revelation? God’s Word, the Bible, is the final form of special revelation. It must be remembered that it is through general revelation that one is without excuse for not believing in God, but it is only through specific ...read more

    The Fear Of The Lord Is The Beginning Of Wisdom: Why Do We Fear God?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,841 views

    The scriptures read "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Wisdom is something we desperately need in our world. We need it today especially. We need it as the body of Christ on Earth.

    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. -Psalm 111:10 NIV The scriptures read "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Wisdom is something we desperately need in our world. We ...read more

    Are You A Revolutionary Part 4

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,788 views

    The seven passions of a Revolutionary are defined for us in the book of Acts. These Scriptures are important to us because they describe the very nature of the life of the early church as it began to form immediately after Jesus returned to heaven.

    Are you a Revolutionary? Are you transforming your entire life to emulate that of Jesus Christ’s? Are you transforming your entire perspective to emulate that of Jesus Christ’s? Your spiritual practices? Your attitude? Your character? Your faith? Your relationships? Your behavior? God wants to do ...read more

    Homiletics 101 -- "What Preaching Should Be” Series

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Feb 17, 2005
    based on 51 ratings
     | 16,585 views

    Paul wants us to understand that preaching is not based on the contribution of the preacher, but on the message being communicated. Preaching, in the mind of Paul is to be valued in the core truth, not in the charisma of the speaker!

    Homiletics 101 “What Preaching Should Be” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 INTRODUCTION: As we approach this passage of Scripture, and in doing so leave the first chapter of the letter, it is important that we understand what it is we are leaving behind. Chapter 1 has Paul laying foundation concerning ...read more

    To explore the role of spiritual shepherds in guiding the church and its members through their faith journey, emphasizing the importance of praying for these leaders, understanding their role, and submitting to their guidance.

    Good morning, family. I'm so glad to see you all here today, ready to dive into the Word of God. Today, we're going to be talking about shepherds, and no, not the kind that watch over sheep in a physical field. We're talking about spiritual shepherds, those tasked with guiding us on our journey of ...read more

    Faith, Suffering & The Will Of God

    based on 18 ratings
     | 4,467 views

    The story of Jesus betrayal, arrest, and trial could be seen as a dark time, but it teaches us things about faith, suffering, and finding the will of God in our lives like no other portion of Scripture.

    I hate politics. Politics at its worst is the manipulation of people and processes to get your way. I’m sure there’s a good side to politics – but I haven’t seen it lately. Certainly it was politics at its worst that was operating in Palestine around 33AD when the ruling religious political group ...read more

    The Generosity Of The Book Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,182 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

    "from Every Nation"- The Bible And Race- Pt.3 Series

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Oct 25, 2020
     | 2,327 views

    Today, as I close out this series, I want us to consider the question: “So with the abundance of such teaching in the Scriptures denouncing racism, why has racism been such a problem for so long?”

    Over the past two weeks we have looked at the Bible and what it teaches about race and race relations. We have seen how everyone bears the image of God and should be respected as an image bearer. We have seen how we are all descendants of Adam and Eve and therefore we are all “family” being part of ...read more

     | 1,152 views

    What we know about God is what God reveals about Himself. We must allow God to determine our understanding of who He is.

    We're going to talk about one God today. If we were to walk down the street and ask everybody we encountered, "Do you believe in God?" most people would say yes. The problem is, what are we defining as God? Who are we defining as God? How are we defining God? When we talk about this ...read more

    This message is about the importance of Resurrection Sunday, how it is the essential part of our salvation. Understanding and believing the resurrection account help us to know the truth of Christ Jesus.

    Well… today is Easter Sunday, and I’ll just tell you right up front, I don’t usually call it Easter Sunday, I call it Resurrection Sunday. Because that’s what today is all about. The resurrection of Jesus Christ. And I admit, that when I was a kid, I didn’t really understand what this holiday was ...read more

    Jesus’ disciples struggled to understand what he was talking about. Through Scriptire, see how we need to look at the bigger picture in how God works.

    Space the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise; its five year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
