The Blessing of First Things (Many of the concepts in this message come from Robert Morris’s book “The Blessed Life”) Well, here we are week two of Money Month. If you are visiting or new to Cornerstone each year we take the month of April to teach the theology of giving. Almost a dozen years…
End Thinkism!
I hope I’m not a thinkist. “And what” you may be asking “is a thinkist?” Well the short answer is someone who suffers from thinkism. And what is thinkism? I recently discovered the concept of thinkism in a novel by James Grippando and I am now committed to avoiding being a thinkist. Today it is…
Who Get’s Blessed?
So here we are. “Money Month” 2013. For those of you who have become a part of our church family in the past year here is a little insight. 11 years ago we decided to take a different approach to dealing with finances at Cornerstone. Instead of dealing with the crisis of finances, that is…
They want his Bones back
