    So, you've been swallowed by a fish. What next? This message looks at that scenario and offers solutions.

    What’s the worst that could happen? It’s a question that we often ask ourselves, or at least it’s a question that I often ask myself, maybe you never ask yourself that question.

    Through my ministry, when I’ve been planning and dreaming and dreaming and scheming, I often ask myself, what’s the worst that could happen?

     | 4,409 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

    The call to the shepherds is the same as the call to us, just come and see.

    It wasn’t the world’s oldest profession, but it was close! I mean you know what the world’s oldest profession is right? That’s right, farming. Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain the oldest was a farmer, thus making farming the world’s oldest profession. What were you thinking? And Abel the ...read more

    This message looks a the words of the Angel to Joseph, and what happened because Joseph obeyed.

    I was talking to a lady the other day about some Kids reaction to Santa. Not the Santa who’s going to come down the chimney on Christmas Eve to leave gifts, but the shopping mall Santas.

    In many ways, Mary is the star of the Christmas Story, outside of her son of Course. This message looks at what the Angel was asking of her when he said, "Do not be afraid."

    Have you ever been afraid at Christmas time? Maybe as a child you were afraid of Santa? Or maybe you were afraid that you hadn’t made the good list and you were afraid Santa wouldn’t come.

    This series looks at the various "Fear Nots" in the Christmas story. It begins with Garbriel's admonintion to Zechariah to not be afraid.

    Fear and Christmas aren’t words that I would think go together. Maybe Halloween and Fear, or birthdays and fear. But Christmas and fear? I mean, really what is there to fear about Christmas? Well, according to those in the know there is plenty to fear about Christmas. If you are selaphobic, ...read more

    Surrender your thoughts Next week is December 1st, the first Sunday of Advent and that means that today is the last Sunday in our Surrender Series.

    She has met with leaders and celebrities around the world and whether or not you agree with her views you have to admit that Greta Thunberg is an angry young lady. And when i hear her speak, I kind of suspect that she is not only angry but bitter as well. Her speeches are scattered with “How Dare ...read more

    Is anger always wrong? This message looks at why we get angry and how we respond to that anger.

    If I asked you to think of an angry person, I would suspect it wouldn’t take very long for a particular person to come to mind. Don’t look around. Maybe your boss, or a stranger that you’ve never met, but you’ve witnessed their anger, maybe it’s someone you are close to, perhaps a parent or a ...read more
