Cornerstone Baptist Church - Cornwall Sermons

Pastor Phil kicks off our summer preaching series, "Jesus Stories," delving into the parables of Jesus. The series commences with an exploration of the parable of the prodigal son as recounted in Luke 15.

Pastor Mike concludes the Sermon On the Mount series. The Wise and Foolish Builders “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.   The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.    But everyone who hears these wo...

Matthew 7:13-14 The Narrow and Wide Gates   “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

Pastor Phil talks about what Jesus says about judging other in Matthew 7:1-7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.    For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?    How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take...

Pastor Mike discusses Matthew 7:7-12   “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.    For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.   “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?   Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are e...

Matthew 6:25-34 Do Not Worry   “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?    Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by wo...

Pastor Dana shares on both: Luke 12: 16-20   And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest.   He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid...

Jesus Has Risen Luke 24:1-12   On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.  2  They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,  3  but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.  4  While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.  5 ...

Matthew 6:1-4 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.   “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.    But when you give to th...

Matthew 5:38-48 "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,   that you may be children of your Father in heaven."

Matthew 5:33-37   “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’    But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;    or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.    And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make...

Matthew 5:31-32   “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’    But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

This past Sunday, we had the privilege of hosting Compassion Canada. Eric Kayia shared his personal story about the profound impact Compassion had on his life while growing up in Uganda, highlighting the meaningful ways in which we can sponsor children in need.

Matthew 5:27-30   “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.    But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.    If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.    And if your right-hand...

Matthew 5:21-26 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.  ...

The Fulfillment of the Law   “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.    For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.    Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these...

Matthew 5:13-16 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.   “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in...

Pastor Phil begins our "Sermon on the Mount" series by looking at the Beatitudes.

Isaiah 9:2 "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light ; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned."

Numbers 24:17 “I see him, but not now;     I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob;     a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab,     the skullS of all the people of Sheth

In a World Defined by: *Satan's Rule *Our Sin Nature *The Curse We are given a flicker of hope. Luke 1 "by which THE RISING SUN will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness"

Pastor Mike brings our Ecclesiastes series to an end. Ecclesiastes 1:9 "What has been will be again,     what has been done will be done again;     there is nothing new under the sun."

Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,     including every hidden thing,     whether it is good or evil.

Ecclesiastes 3:11-14 "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.    I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.   That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.    I know that e...

Isaiah 1:17 " Learn to do right; seek justice . Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; " Jeremiah 22:3 "this is what the LORD says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place." Micah 6:8 "...
