5 Ways to IMPACT CHURCH in March
This month is IMPACT CHURCH month at Cornerstone Baptist Church. 2018 is the year of IMPACT! In order to give direction to our goals, we have designated three months to devote to specific impacts. April is our IMPACT2 month, when we are challenged to share the gospel...
Vision Challenge 2018: Accepting, Believing, and Trusting God’s Direction for my Life…
We have been working as a church to cast both personal and corporate visions for our future. Over the last two months, we have met on Sunday nights (during our regular scheduled service at 6:00 p.m.) to discuss what it means to have vision, in light of the gospel. For...
Snoring during the autopsy…
I read this fascinating story today (you can read it at http://www.livescience.com/61385-man-declared-dead-really-alive.html). The story goes that a prisoner in Spain was found unconscious in his cell. Repeated attempts to resuscitate failed, he was transported to a...
Messy Grace…
Does grace ever make you uncomfortable? Does grace excuse us from difficult decisions? Does grace create an automatic “no-conflict” zone? She approached in the heat of the day, a strange time to be carrying out her daily routine…but it was intentional. Known around...
SHE’S A BEAUTIFUL BRIDE…
Philippians 1:27, “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ…” This weekend, I had the privilege to be a part of a beautiful wedding ceremony. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to officiated countless ceremonies, each with their own...

Further Discussions on Fasting, Part 1
In yesterday’s sermon, we focused on the spiritual discipline of fasting. It is an interesting discipline considering the importance of it in the life and teachings of Christ, yet there is little focus on this discipline in the modern Church. We went fast in our...
THE BREAKDOWN AND AN UNFORTUNATE RESPONSE
We live in a broken world. This Sunday, I preached on this very subject. The prophet Jeremiah wrote, “they prefer death to life” (Jeremiah 8:3). The signs of brokenness are all around us - broken families, child abuse, substance abuse, unwanted teen pregnancies…the...
Living to Make Jesus Famous…An Uncomfortable Topic Worthy of Defense
Our current sermon series at church is “Living to Make Jesus Famous.” I can’t speak for everyone else…but God has been doing a work in me. I have been reminded repeatedly about my purpose in life - to magnify God in Christ Jesus! We have looked at the deeper...
Let’s do this together…
I have been really convicted lately about some things...really convicted. It's been good! Don't get me wrong, the discipline of God is never a pleasant experience. Yet, for the believer, it is necessary and liberating! What's been so convicting? you ask... I have been...
