This is our last week of money month and for the past four weeks we have been parked in the generosity spot.  Each year we take the month of April to explore the theology of money, giving and generosity.  Not only within the church but in our lives in general.  This idea is that if…

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…

I’ve always been intrigued with the Corinthian Church.  A church with problems, you don’t have to read very far through the letters addressed to the church to discover that they struggled with “issues”.  Theological issues, moral issues, behavioural issues.  But in my experience that is the reality of the church.  I mean as long as…

We sometimes refer to the gift of Easter, and when some folks think of Easter gifts they think of new clothes and chocolate.  And while those might be Easter gifts they aren’t the gifts we are talking about today.  And this message really started on Friday because there couldn’t be a Sunday without a Friday. …

Here we are in Week seven of our old school Sunday School series and during that time we have see Jesus lost in the temple, baptized in a river, heal a paralyzed man and a blind man and mediate a sibling rivalry.  And that’s what happened when Sunday School was being taught, each week a…

This winter we decided to re-visit Sunday School to bring you some of the New Testament Stories that those who were brought up in a traditional Sunday School learned as children.  So we’ve taken to the flannelgraph to tell you the stories of how Mary and Joseph lost Jesus in Jerusalem when he was twelve,…

This is week five of our Old School Sunday School series.  Each week we’ve been re-telling some of the great bible stories from the New Testament, and so we’ve discovered new insights from the story of Jesus’ parents losing him when he was a kid, about Jesus being baptized, healing the blind man and being…
