The Principle of the Path

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:01:30 GMT

Preparing for Battle

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:35:12 GMT

A New and Improved Marriage

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 18:10:32 GMT

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 13:09:51 GMT

We are all on a journey in life. From where we have been, to where we are now, and to where God wants us to be. It's a journey filled with grace and mercy, and it starts with understanding and accepting the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ.

A New and Improved Identity

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 16:48:39 GMT

Are you satisfied with your life the way it is? Are you ready for a new and improved life in Christ? This week we start a new series called "New and Improved" going through the book of Ephesians. We have a new identity in Christ that shapes how we should live. Mike shares how God has chosen and adopted us, how Jesus has redeemed and forgiven us, and how the Holy Spirit has sealed and secured us.

Leaving A Legacy

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 17:26:02 GMT

What type of legacy will your church leave? What type of legacy will you leave your family? We must take time to make memories that will last. In Joshua, we see how God uses stones of remembrance to ensure that the children of the Israelites will see how God worked and moved in the past. Don't take for granted the time we have.

What Happened Last Week?

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 19:52:57 GMT

Last week at Cornerstone, we had a time to honor all of our volunteers that serve each week. We have been blessed to see a large number of our people serve. But why do they serve? We see an example in Luke 7 of true love and service. We serve because we have been forgiven. Sam encourages all of us to examine why we serve.

Believe It!

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:22:54 GMT

Moving Forward

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 02:32:59 GMT

God is moving here at Cornerstone. And if we want to continue moving forward, then we must take the message of Matthew 9 seriously. The harvest is truly plentiful, and we must show compassion and love as we share the Gospel message.

God is Creative

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 02:48:37 GMT

Do you think you are a creative person? Since God is creative, and we are made in His image, then we should all be creative. If you are not living a creative life, then ask yourself the question why. Sam shares about creativity and the root of much of our creative ability, which is simply rest.

God Is In Control

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:06:50 GMT

We like to be in control. We stay anxious and worried when things don't go as planned. We question God when we suffer and when we don't understand why things happen. But we must realize that as long as we're in control, God is not. In this message, Mike shares about why we must learn to fully trust God in every situation.

God is Bigger Than You Think

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 19:58:38 GMT

As we continue the One Prayer series, Sam shares with us that God is Bigger Than You Think. Don't be afraid to put your mind into action. We need to prepare and train and study so that we can stand up to the temptations that Satan will bring our way.

God Is Freedom

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 15:08:07 GMT

As we celebrate our nation's freedom, let's not forget the most important freedom we have, we are free in Christ. In Galatians 5, Paul shows us how two extremes in the church, both legalism and worldliness can enslave and trap us. Let's live in freedom, walking in the spirit and demonstrating our faith through love.

God Is Love

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:48:25 GMT

God is Love. While we have heard that through our entire lives, do we really believe it? Pastor Craig Groeschel from Lifechurch.tv shares a special One Prayer message to remind us that God is Love.

God Is Enough

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 19:03:11 GMT

We're joining churches around the world to start the One Prayer series as we examine the theme God Is... Have you learned the secret to being content? When you strip away the success and the failure, the good and the bad, hopefully you will realize that God is enough. In any and every circumstance, we need to seek God.

The Fear of Commitment in Community

Sun, 31 May 2009 17:55:30 GMT

As Christians, why are we afraid of living in community with other believers? Sam shares a message of hope and encouragement about living a life of commitment. He also shares Cornerstone's plans for building community over the next several months.

The Fear of Failure

Sun, 24 May 2009 18:06:16 GMT

Don't let the fear of failure keep you from doing what God has called you to do. Our fears set the limits of our life, and through this message, Mike speaks courage into your life through the words of Scripture.

Staying SOBER

Sun, 17 May 2009 16:59:57 GMT

Are you committed to making a difference in your community? So many Christians are afraid to take a step of faith and follow Christ no matter what the cost. In this message, you get to hear the story of one man who has been transformed by Christ and is now making a difference in the lives of hundreds of people who are struggling with addictions. Mike Edwards from S.O.B.E.R. ministries shares his testimony of God's grace and redemption.

The Fear of Commitment

Sat, 16 May 2009 19:05:17 GMT

Church today is characterized by convenience, not sacrifice. We need to be committed to the cause of Christ. We must realize that our life is about making much of Christ.

A House of Love

Sun, 10 May 2009 19:04:44 GMT

What is a family? Join us as Sam shares a special Mother's Day message about making your home a house of love. We invite you to find out more about Cornerstone online at http://www.mycornerstone.org

The Fear of Death

Sun, 03 May 2009 20:04:47 GMT

We don't have to fear death! The opposite of fear is faith, and when you place your faith in Christ, you are set free from the fear of death and dying. We should live every day like it is our last, and we should spend our time lifting up the name of Jesus.

The Fear of Not Having Enough-Part2

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 18:17:08 GMT

Why do we always want more? Our society teaches us that we need more and more stuff, but we must learn to be content with what God has blessed us with. We should realize that we don't own everything, that we don't need everything, and that we shouldn't keep everything. Join us as we take a look at Biblical contentment and generosity.

The Fear of Not Having Enough

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 19:47:05 GMT

Are you paralyzed by fear? Are you afraid to follow and trust God completely? Sam shares about this fear that so many of us struggle with: the fear of not having enough. It drives us to want more and more stuff, and it prevents us from giving generously as God intended.

The Fear of Being Found Out

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 17:43:26 GMT

Have you ever felt overwhelmed, even paralyzed by your fear? It's almost as if you can't even make a decision, a commitment, a move, or a step of faith. Anything that God calls you to do of significance will require some level of fear. And one of the first fears we must overcome is the fear of being found out for who we really are. Join us for this Easter message as we look at the story of Peter to find out how God can use us in spite of our failures and mistakes.

Unstoppable Results

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 18:36:14 GMT

God specializes in using ordinary average people to accomplish extraordinary results. When we learn to truly surrender our lives to serving Christ, we will make an incredible impact on our community and world. Mike shares a challenge that we will boldly share the message of hope with the world around us.

Unstoppable Partners

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 16:56:17 GMT

Everyone has a part to play in the mission of Christ. When the church partners together as disciples, God is glorified and people are reached with a message of hope. We are commanded to go on an unstoppable mission: to go and make disciples, knowing that we are empowered by Christ.

Unstoppable Vision

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 14:19:14 GMT

What is God's Vision for the church? A church focused on listening and obeying the Holy Spirit is Unstoppable. Join us as we look at what God has called Cornerstone to do and be as a church. This message challenges everyone who has experienced new life in Christ, to share that experience with others.

Illuminating Our Life

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 16:33:45 GMT

We wrapup our Illuminate series with a message on 1 John 5. God is the author of light, and he wants to illuminate our lives with the truth of His Word. In this chapter, the apostle John presents a case for why we should believe in the risen Jesus Christ. We must all answer the question, "are we walking in the light?"

Truth or Consequences

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 05:53:17 GMT

What we believe influences the choices we make in life. How would you define truth? Does it matter what is right and what is wrong? Join us as we look at 1 John 4 and see how we can improve our discernment.

Love In Action

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 17:31:55 GMT

It's easy to say that we love others, but are we really putting our love into action? Mike shares in this message how our love should be counter-cultural and sacrificial, and when we put our love into action, it is evidence to the world that Christ is in us.

Like Father, Like Son

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 13:57:37 GMT

We continue our illuminate series by looking at what it means to walk in the light. If we want to walk in the light, then we must live as Jesus lived. There should be a family resemblance between God and God's children. When people look at your life, do they see a glimpse of the Father?

Walking In The Light

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 20:01:38 GMT

If we want to walk in the light, then we must live as Jesus lived, love as Jesus loved, and know the true Jesus. Let me encourage you to imitate Christ in your thoughts, attitudes, and actions.

Truth Brings Light

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:31:48 GMT

Thanks for joining us here at Cornerstone. We are starting a new series on the book of 1 John called illuminate. In 1 John 1:7, we are told to walk in the light. I hope and pray that this series will teach you how to do just that. When we allow the truth of God's Word to illuminate our lives, we can walk in the light.

Bringing Your Faith Into Focus

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 17:58:44 GMT

Are you living by faith? Faith is accepting the promise of God and committing ourselves to partner with Him. Faith is believing that God exists and that He is intimately involved with our lives today. That God loves us and cares about us and that God has made a way that we can be with Him for eternity. Have you put your faith in Jesus Christ? That is a question every one of us must answer.

Bringing Your Family Into Focus

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 00:42:39 GMT

Todd shares this week about how to have healthy family relationships. Ephesians 6 is a familiar passage that helps us understand how a family should function. God has designed a structure for our family relationships, and when that blueprint is followed, we see a picture of God�€™s love for us. By examining the Praise, Love, Unity, and Giving in our families, we can bring our family relationships into clear focus.

Bringing Your Physical Life Into Focus

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 17:44:28 GMT

As Christ cares for His body, the church, He also wants us to care for our own body, the temple of the Holy Spirit. Our Heavenly Father wants us to care for our body and our life as if it is a house for Him. Most Americans know the value of exercise and eating right, but they�€™re unwilling to build this discipline and self-control into their lives. Sam shares a message on how it is important to take care of our bodies if we want to serve God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Remember, every BODY ends us somewhere, but not every BODY ends up somewhere on purpose.

Bringing Your Relationships Into Focus

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 15:50:36 GMT

Do you have relationships in your life that aren't where God wants them to be? In this message, Mike takes a look at the Biblical example of Barnabas to see how he made relationships a priority in his life. Mike also shares four questions that we need to ask about the relationships in our life.

Bringing Your Life Into Focus

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 13:39:25 GMT

Are you living a life of focus, a life with direction and vision? As we start the new year, let's seek God's will in our life and discover His plan. Everyone ends up somewhere, but few people end up somewhere on purpose.

Remembering 08

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 20:11:49 GMT

Here at Cornerstone, there are so many ways that God has shown his faithfulness this year. In this series we have been unwrapping some of the plans for the new year. In this last service of '08, we want to pause and reflect and remember what God has done. When we remember our past, we can look to the future with confidence, knowing that God is in control.

Unwrapping The Greatest Gift

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 02:55:44 GMT

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 15:59:31 GMT

Fully Engaged In My Work

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 15:54:18 GMT

Are you fully engaged in your work? We define work as wherever you spend your productive waking hours. If we want to be fully committed in our walk with God, then we must take seriously our opportunity and responsibility to represent Christ where we work. We look at several Biblical principles to help us be better representatives of Christ.

Fully Engaged In My City

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:18:35 GMT

Are you fully engaged in your city? Do you look at the people in your city with love and compassion? If we want to truly impact our cities, then we must take advantage of the God-given opportunities to share God's love with those around us.

Fully Engaged With My Friends

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 18:29:32 GMT

We all need healthy relationships. We need friends that encourage us and build us up. We need friends who will challenge us to become more like Christ.

Are you fully engaged in your walk with God? We kick off the series Fully Engaged by answering this question. We want to challenge you to become fully engaged and committed to following Christ. As you grow in your faith, you should become more and more like Christ in your thoughts, attitudes, and actions.

We Aim To Please

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:32:55 GMT

Who do we try to please in life? Do we make decisions based on pleasing people or pleasing God? Too many times, we make the easy decision instead of the right decision. Join us as we take a look at what the Bible teaches about focusing on what God desires.

Starting Off Right

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 18:52:28 GMT

As we move into our new facility in downtown Galax, we want to make sure that we start off right. This morning, Mike looks to the example of the dedication of the Temple by King Solomon. To start off right, we must commit to make this facility a place of worship, a place of sacrifice, and a place of forgiveness.

Living the Dream Life

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 18:36:11 GMT

Do you believe that God has a dream life for you? Even if you have given up on that dream, God hasn't. Wherever you work, God wants to use and guide you. Sam takes a look at the life of Joseph and shares the encouragement that we find in story.

Service Wins

Sun, 21 Sep 2008 18:07:50 GMT

In our society today, have we forgotten how to serve one another? Fortunately, culture is not our guide, because Jesus Christ is our example. Todd shares the power and importance of living life of service, because service wins and service matters.

Understanding Your Mission

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 01:49:17 GMT

If we want to engage our community and world for Christ, we must understand our mission. By looking at the mission of Jesus, we learn our mission as well. If we love God and love others, our love must be put into action as we are sent into the world with the hope of the Gospel.

Desiring God

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 19:27:56 GMT

We continue our series God of This City by looking at our hearts. As a church we want to equip people so that they can become fully devoted followers of Christ. That starts with each person desiring God with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Experiencing Love

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 14:30:28 GMT

Sin Myths

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 21:34:31 GMT

We wrap up the mythbusters series by taking a look at some common myths about sin. If we truly want to be fully devoted followers of Christ, we must have a proper understanding of sin. We must also realize that our spiritual maturity is not based on how much we know, but how much we obey.

Big Is Bad - Part 2

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 04:17:20 GMT

Most people don't like change. It's tough, it's uncomfortable, and we try to avoid it. When we look at the myth that Big is Bad, we see a fear of change. This week we pick up from last week's message and talk about the importance of doing both evangelism and discipleship as a church.

Big Is Bad

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 16:03:09 GMT

In our small town, there is an unspoken myth that "big is bad" As we look at the early church, we see that growth and change are essential to following Christ. We must continue to focus on both evangelism and discipleship as we grow as a church. This message will be continued next week.

Keeping the Faith

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 04:03:23 GMT

As we continue putting myths to the test, we take on the controversial and long debated question, "Can you lose your salvation?" Although this is an important question, it is not necessarily a good question. The better question is this, "Can I know that I am saved?" As we look to scripture, we hope you will be encouraged and challenged to examine your faith in Christ.

More Than You Can Bear

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 20:14:59 GMT

As we continue our mythbusters series, we look to the common statement that "God won't give you more than you can bear" Is this in the Bible? And if so, why do we struggle so much in life? Let's take a look at what the Bible really says and then see how we should live our lives.

Just Have Faith

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:02:06 GMT

Join us as we put common myths to the test. Have you ever heard it said, that all roads lead to heaven? We tackle this problem by looking at the misconceptions that contribute to this idea. Your faith is only as good as the object in which it is placed. All religions aren't the same, and Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

Lord, Make Us One

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 20:44:14 GMT

We wrap up the One Prayer Series by looking at the prayer of Jesus for the Church. Jesus prays in John 17 that we would be one, that we would be united. Is the church united or divided, and how does that affect our witness to an unbelieving world? If we truly want to change our communities and lift up the name of Jesus, then we must be united. One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism

Respond

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 16:21:53 GMT

We all have a choice in life how we respond to God. In this Easter message we look at the story of the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Cross. We see how Judas, the disciples, and the thieves on the cross responded to Jesus. How will you respond? Will you choose faith and obedience, or will you choose to live life rejecting Christ?

Where Is God

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 21:56:18 GMT
