Penn of DennTalk about a swing in emotions. I have been working on two separate messages this week, one for Good Friday and one for Easter Sunday. A message of despair and a message of hope. A message of defeat and a message of victory. A message about the depths that man can fall and…
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,…
You Will Get Caught
I read an article the other day that R & B singer Rhianna was mortified that nude pictures that she had sent her boyfriend, had surfaced and ended up on the internet. I wonder if it ever crossed her mind that having nude digital pictures floating around was a bad idea? It's not unusual to…
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…
Oh, the places you’ll go
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…
Treasures of the Heart
Here we are, April. At Cornerstone, as most of you know, April signifies the end of our church year and the beginning of a brand new church year and financial year. If you are wondering why April and not December there are probably a couple of reasons. And if you are really interested give me…
Quack
So they fired the Aflac Duck. Well they didn’t actually fire the duck, they just fired his voice. It is kind of an interesting situation. Aflac hired comedian Gilbert Gottfried who is known for his insensitive and offensive humour but then they fired him because he sent a tweet that was insensitive and offensive. Who…
500 Hats
Read from Book. Now let’s be honest today; how many people here had actually heard of “The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins” let alone read it before this morning? I had actually read this book as a child and apparently it stayed with me because the day that I decided to preach this series it…
Peter, Peter Peter.
Peter, Peter, Peter! What were you thinking? $400,000.00 on Black Eyed Peas? How many people were you feeding? It’s not about the money..... well maybe it’s a little bit about the money, but you keep changing your story. You didn’t know. You did know but you didn’t know it was wrong. You did know and…
