Psalm 91I usual don't have much time for anonymous notes but I will make an exception this time. Unlike the first five psalms we looked at we don't really know who wrote Psalm 91. There are a couple of different opinions but we don't know for sure. In the first five Psalms in this series…
Forgiveness of the Righteous
It wasn't read a part of the scripture this morning but most of your bibles contain a one line introduction to this Psalm, the KJV beats around the bush a little bit here when it says "To the chief musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone…
The Deliverance of the Righteous
Psalm 40A hundred and twenty years ago the Hymn writer wrote "He brought me out of the miry clay, he set my feet on the rock to stay", and it is a great hymn, but not all that original. David wrote the same sentiments three thousand years before Henry Zelley put pen to paper. But…
The Protection of the Righteous
It is probably the best known psalm in the western world and possibly the best known scripture period. It is loved by Jews and Christians alike and probably the reason is that it is an incredibly positive Psalm, all up beat and uplifting. It has been quoted and misquoted, it's on plaques and mugs and…
The Despair of the Righteous
Psalm 22My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? And so begins the cry of the Psalmist's heart in the 22nd Psalm. Some have called this the Psalm of the Cross and point to several parallels between this scripture and the story of the crucifixion of Christ. The Psalm begins with the words: Psalm…

A Lesson from Hezekiah
Well that was edifying. We used that video a couple of years ago but thought we could drag it out again. This is week four of our Treasures of the Heart series. If you haven't been with us during that time or if you are new to Cornerstone I will bring you up to speed.I…
The Things He HeardHe was there on a whim. He didn't have to be there, it wasn't part of his job but he had heard that something was going to happen, got caught up in the moment and there he was. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. As the mob…
Out of the Mouth of a Fish
Peter just shook his head. That was all they wanted was money. Couldn't they see the bigger picture? That there was more at stake then just money. They had just arrived back in town and before they could even get settled the church was there with its hand out. Well it wasn't actually the church,…
Cain and Abel
So here we are. Week two of Money Month! In case you weren’t here last week or if you are new to Cornerstone I made a decision a number of years ago that instead of responding to financial crisis in the church by preaching on them that I would take one month each year and…
