Cornerstone Church of Fergus Falls, MN - Sermon Podcasts

From Matthew 22:34-40. Jesus was asked what was the greatest commandment in the Law.  He gave two answers: to love God and love our neighbor. How is your love for God doing? Do you love your neighbor as yourself? ____________________________________________________________________________

From Luke 10:38-42. Jesus, Martha, and Mary. The Lord is with two sisters but the women respond differently to Jesus. Mary is sitting with Jesus and hearing his teaching while Martha is stressed out in the kitchen. We so often get overly stressed and anxious by life. But all we need is one thing. ___________________________________________________________________________

(Christmas Eve sermon.) From Philippians 2:5-11, continuing in our "What's in a Name?" series, we look at what it meant for Jesus to humble himself as a servant and then be exalted and given the "name that is above every name." ____________________________________________________________________________

In this sermon, we look at five names for the Son of God: Jesus, Messiah/Christ, Savior, Lord, and Immanuel. May we rejoice greatly at what God has done for us through Christ Jesus our Lord! ____________________________________________________________________________

In this sermon, we do a fly-over look at some important people in the Old Testament, showing how the meaning of their names fits into God's overall plan. This sermon leads into next Sunday's sermon on the names of Jesus. ____________________________________________________________________________

From Psalm 111. There are many reasons to praise the Lord. In this sermon, we look at nine reasons to praise the Lord. May we be people who regularly praise God for who he is and what he has done! ____________________________________________________________________________

From Psalm 34. This Psalm has some of the greatest language in all of scripture about the greatness and glory of the Lord. It focuses on the worship of the Lord, the wisdom of the Lord, and the justice of the Lord.  ___________________________________________________________________________

From Psalm 96. Every year around Thanksgiving, we like to check our hearts - to see how we're doing at praising the LORD. He is worthy. May we be people who regularly praise him - in the good times, in the difficult times, and everywhere in between. ____________________________________________________________________________

From Ephesians 3:16-19 (and others). We are not to live our lives in our own power. God fills his people with the Holy Spirit. He leads us into the lives he wants us to live. He gives us the power for new life in Christ. ____________________________________________________________________________

From 1 Corinthians 12. In his wisdom, God gives spiritual gifts to each of his children. But they are not merely for our own benefit. We are to use them for God's purposes and his glory. ____________________________________________________________________________

From 1 Corinthians 2:6-3:3. On our own, we don't always know what's right and we don't automatically know God's thoughts. But through the Holy Spirit, we can understand what God has freely given us. May we learn and apply God's wisdom in the power of the Holy Spirit! ____________________________________________________________________________

A favorite passage of many, Galatians 5:16-25 tells us the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. This fruit is not the fruit of our labor but fruit that comes from God. _____________________________________________________________________

From Romans 8:1-17. This passage of Scripture shows a stark contrast between a life lived according to the sinful nature and a life lived according to the Holy Spirit. _____________________________________________________________________

This sermon is an overview of the work of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts. In it, we see how the Holy Spirit moved powerfully to bring the message of Jesus to the ends of the earth. We believe God can do similar things today as we seek to make disciples. ______________________________________________________________________

From John 14-16 (various passages). Jesus told his followers some astonishing things about what the Holy Spirit would do. We are not left on our own. God is with us. ______________________________________________________________________

From John 3:1-8. A person must be born again. Jesus tells this to a religious teacher who approaches him. A person cannot get into heaven without this. Being born again (regeneration) is the Holy Spirit giving new life to a person. ________________________________________________________________________

From 2 Thessalonians 2:13-15. In this first sermon in our series on the Holy Spirit, we take a big-picture look at what the Holy Spirit has done and is doing in the world and in our lives. The Holy Spirit works to bring about God's will in our lives. ___________________________________________________________________________

From Colossians 4:2-6. As we live out our faith, we should pray and watch for the opportunities God will give us to help others come to know Jesus as Savior and Lord. In this sermon, I give what I hope will be a very practical strategy for joining with God in sharing the gospel. ___________________________________________________________________________

From Acts 2:42-47. At the beginning of summer, I gave a challenge to be devoted to God. Now, at the beginning of fall, I wanted to give a similar challenge. If you are devoted to following Jesus, what should that look like in your daily life? ___________________________________________________________________________

Given by guest speaker Dan Schindler, an elder at Cornerstone Church. Speaking on James 4:2b-3, among other verses, this sermon is a challenge and an encouragement to pray with faith to the God who is able to answer our prayers. ___________________________________________________________________________

The Book of Ruth ends with a twist. Boaz is the kinsmen redeemer, and the family that had lost so much is blessed with a son. But this son will be the grandfather of King David (and in the line that leads to Jesus). Through all of the tragedy in Ruth, we see that God was always at work in the lives of his people. ________________________________________________________________________

From Ruth 3. In this section, Naomi steps up to help meet the needs of others. We all have a part to play as we perform acts of loving kindness. May we not forget that God is also at work - this story reminds us of the bigger story of our redemption through Jesus Christ. ___________________________________________________________________________

From Ruth 2. God shows his love to us. We can show his love to others through our compassion and through working hard to serve others. ___________________________________________________________________________

From Ruth 1. In the book of Ruth, we see God's love, as shown through the loving actions of others. May we be people who show God's love to others. ___________________________________________________________________________

From Proverbs 3:9-10 and 19:17. In part 1 of this sermon, we look at what Proverbs says about money. Part 2 is a recap of our 8-week series on Proverbs. ___________________________________________________________________________
