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…
Green Eggs and Ham
This should have been posted earlier it was preached on March 7th, 2011 (Read from Green Eggs and Ham pages 1-16)Do you know the story? I bet you do. It's one of Dr. Seuss greatest works. “Green Eggs and Ham”. You know I hate that book. Didn't always hate it though, no sir when I…

This didn't get posted but was from March 20th. Read Pages 1-17What a great book. Here is a confession; I had never read this book before I decided on the series. The other three I had read or had read to me as a child and read them to my children but not “Oh the…

Healthy Vision
This is week six of our health check series and for me it represents the most frightening topic that I've spoken about since the New Year, and that is optical health.

This is week five of our Health Check series, and we've looked at a Healthy Body, Healthy Appetites and a Healthy Heart and so this week we are looking at "A Healthy Mouth" It really isn't fair! When I think of Doctors there are a whole slew in the media who come to mind. From my…
A Healthy Heart
(Sound file of heart beat)Your heart, do you ever stop and think about your heart? It's pretty important.
