The rule and reign of God’s Messiah did not begin in Bethlehem or even with Isaiah.  Today, Mike takes us back to the promise to David in  2 Samuel 7 1-17  and walks from there through  Isaiah 9 1-7  to the birth of Christ and beyond.  And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure for ever before me. Your throne shall be established for ever.    Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Communi...

Audrey kicked off our Advent 2025 / New Year 2026 series - The Government Shall Be Upon His Shoulder.  We see the evolving revelation of God’s King coming to reign in His Eternal Kingdom.  Isaiah 9 1-7   The people who walked in darkness      have seen a great light;  those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,      on them has light shone.    For to us a child is born,      to us a son is given; ...

In  Mark 12v28-34  , Jesus tells us that “The most important [commandment] is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.  And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’“.  Mike was our speaker this week, leading us through this passage.    Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community  https://www.co...

This week Joe takes us to  Mark 12v18-27  and another (failed) attempt to trip Jesus up.    What a joy and privilege we have to know “the Scriptures [and] the power of God“!  To know that, through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we too can be raised.  And that there is a celebration coming when we are united with Him for all eternity!    Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community  https://ww...

Based on  Mark 12v13-17,  Chris explored how Jesus responded to a trap set by religious leaders, and what that means for us today.

In this message, Joe unpacks 2 Peter 1v3–11 , emphasizing that the Christian life begins and is sustained by God's divine power. He explores how believers are called to live godly lives not through their own strength, but through the transformative work of Christ, the promises of God, and the sanctifying presence of the Holy Spirit. Joe highlights the importance of spiritual growth—adding virt...

Mike began with  Isaiah 5v1-7  to lead our study of  Mark 12v1-12.    God has a specific role and task for each of us.  For the leaders of the Jews at the time of Jesus, for the leaders of the Church today, for leaders in society, for you and me, the task is basically the same -  - to do what God has asked us to do, in His way, for His glory alone.  As the Westminster Shorter Catechism says, our "...

Joe, Adam & Rhonda discuss the next vision statement of our series...   " In Medway & beyond we have a dream of a church that takes seriously The Great Commission to make disciples.

It was good to welcome Adam again this Sunday as he walked us through what the Bible shows us about what the Church is, and how it relates to us in Medway Valley now, in 2025.  He referenced to passages from Acts, Acts 14v21-28 and Acts 2v42-47   In the early Church, there was a gospel focus. They were preaching the gospel, reaching the unreached. There are multiple locations - some places they&#3...

Whose authority did Jesus work under?  Whose authority are we under? Because yes, we are not autonomous. We answer to someone. And Audrey reminds us of how vitally important it is that we pause and consider who that is. Whose authority am I under?  As you are challenged by this message, if you want to speak to someone, we’re here. Email wouldham@cornerstonecity.co.uk and someone will get in touch....

Joe picks up the story of Jesus this week, reviewing last week’s message and continuing to the next day when Jesus and His disciples came to the fig tree He had cursed Mark 11:20-25 .  He helped us look at what it means to have a mature faith in God – a sometimes confusing thing.  Here is a chart showing some of the facets of mature faith .  Sometimes, we see mountains move. Sometimes we don’t.  A...

We’re back in Mark after a summer break. (See the summer “Bible Characters” series in the podcast feed, episodes 122-130)  Chris helped us see the connection between the fig tree and the Temple in Mark 11v12-19.  We were made to bear fruit   We were made for worship  Be aware of all leaves, no fruit; is it worship, or is it something else?    Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https...

Nehemiah, called by God to fulfil God’s plan.  As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven. … “O Lord, let your ear be attentive tothe prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man....

Who was Paul?  This week, Joe helps us see Paul and what drove him. Paul was all about the Mission of God. Paul was all about Grace. Paul was all about the Church, the Body of Christ, bringing His message to everybody else. “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gos...

It’s Hezekiah’s turn for the spotlight in our Summer 2025 “Bible Characters” series with Chris. What does it practically mean to live out of a heart for God?  1- Recognising our sins and purifying our lives for God  2- Purposefully living our lives for God and not for ourselves  3- Bringing everything before God in prayer and petition    The story of Hezekiah can be found in 2 Chronicles 29-32 , 2...
