Cornerstone Church of Fergus Falls, MN - Sermon Podcasts

As we seek to share the good news of the gospel, may we remember that there are things that only God can do. But also, we are to join with him in his work - we have a part to play in this. In this sermon, we look at both God's part and our part. ______________________________________________________________________________________________

If you have come to know Jesus as Savior and Lord, you have a story of how God brought you from darkness to light, from death to life. God can use your story to help others know how they can have salvation, too.  ______________________________________________________________________________________________

This sermon is a recap of the sermons we did in 2022. Did you grow closer to the Lord in 2022? Is your heart encouraged to keep walking with Jesus in 2023? ______________________________________________________________________________________________

From Luke 2:11. Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord. As Savior, he saves us from sin. As Lord, he leads us in new life.  ______________________________________________________________________________________________

From Luke 2:11. In Jesus' day, there was great expectation surrounding the coming of the Christ, the Messiah. Where did that expectation come from and how did Jesus fulfill this Old Testament imagery? ______________________________________________________________________________________________

From Luke 2:11. In this sermon, we follow two lines of prophecy: 1) Jesus was born in the town of David, and 2) Jesus fulfilled promises about the house and line of David. God gave promises and fulfilled them. He is faithful! ______________________________________________________________________________________________

From Psalm 23. God leads us in good ways, and he does so for the sake of his name. He takes care of us. Even when we go through difficult times, he is with his people. Do you trust in his protection and provision, even when you're in a valley?  ______________________________________________________________________________________________

From Psalm 16. From guest speaker Brian Carlson, a deacon at Cornerstone Church. In this psalm King David doesn't just ask for what he wants. He also praises God and confidently proclaims that he will not be shaken. The result is joy as he trusts in God's eternal goodness. _____________________________________________________________________________________________

From Psalm 66. What would people learn from you by watching your life? Would they learn how to praise God? In this psalm, the psalmist not only praises God, but also encourages others to praise God.  ______________________________________________________________________________________________

From Colossians 1:21-29. There's a saying: "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." We are to stand firm in the truth of God's Word and the gospel of Jesus Christ. In doing so, we won't fall for the lies of the enemy, the flesh, or the devil. ______________________________________________________________________________________________

Some people believe that we're here by random chance and we're going nowhere after we die. God's word tells us we were created by him and that he wants us to live with him forever.  ______________________________________________________________________________________________

From guest speaker, Dan Johnson, an elder at Cornerstone Church. In this sermon, Dan walks us through the stages of how we first come to know Christ, then continue to grow in maturity, and then help others know Christ and grow in their faith. ______________________________________________________________________________________________

God created us to be in families. His eternal plan is to allow his people to live in his family forever. Yet we struggle to live out God's design for marriage and family. May we have the wisdom to reject the world's distorted views and may we hold firm to God's plans for marriage and family. ____________________________________________________________________________________________...

This sermon covers the topics of gender identity and sexual identity, in two parts: 1) God's design, our struggle, God's plan to renew 2) Current issues ______________________________________________________________________________________________

In this first sermon in a new series, we look at two things: 1) In general, how we can stand firm in God's word, even in a culture that shifts. 2) How we can stand firm in God's view of life, as opposed to abortion. ______________________________________________________________________________________________

This sermon is a recap of John 1:1-6:29, focusing on the topic of believing in Jesus. God has given his testimony - as shown by the works of Jesus and the word of God. Will we believe? What does it mean to believe and to continue to believe? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

This sermon is actually two shorter sermons. The first one is from John 6:16-21, on the story of Jesus walking on the water and helping his disciples get across the lake. The second one, from John 6:22-29 includes an interesting conversation between Jesus and the crowd, responding to their question about what works to do. (Note: we have edited out the songs in between these two sermons, so we apol...

From John 6:1-15. In this miracle of the feeding of the 5,000, the people recognize some things about Jesus, but it also feels like they missed some things. May we know Jesus for who he is, rightly submitting to him as our King. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

From John 5:31-47. Jesus is the Son of God. But many people don't believe in him. In this passage, Jesus gave some strong reasons to believe in him, including the powerful works that he did and the very word of God himself. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

From John 5:16-30. This passage gives a very high perspective of who Jesus is - he does whatever the Father does. It's so important that we would know who Jesus is. In working with the Father, he gives life to all who believe.  ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

From guest speaker John Stromberg, lead pastor at Elmwood EFC in St. Anthony's Village, MN. From Philippians 3:1-11.  _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

From John 5:1-15. In this passage, a disabled man is made well... physically. But we're not told whether he believed in Jesus or not. Jesus warned about something that would be worse than what the disabled man already faced. May we believe in Jesus and find true rescue. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

From John 4:43-54. In this passage, a man is told by Jesus that his dying son would live. Without seeing the evidence, he took Jesus at his word - and indeed, his son did get better! Do we have the kind of faith that believes in God's word? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

From John 4:27-42. In this second part of the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, the woman goes and shares with her townspeople how she was impacted by Jesus... and a bunch of people believed! God has set up the gospel so that it spreads like this. May we join with God in his harvest. _________________________________________________________________________________________________...

From John 4:1-26. In this famous story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus offered living water. He also said that the Father seeks worshipers who will worship in spirit and in truth. So often, we live for what is not truly worthy. May we take God up on his offer and worship him rightly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________...
