CCC Medway Valley Sermons

In Mark 4 1-20 we hear Jesus speaking to a large crowd and then to a smaller group of his followers. What did the parable He told mean to them? What does it mean for us? Join us as Mike walks through the parable with us and encourages us with the good news, the word of the kingdom. Even though most things go wrong, there is a Mighty King and His Kingdom is coming. There will be a harvest, thirtyfo...

Returning to our journey with Mark through the life and mission of Jesus, Chris Norwood takes us to Mark 3 31-35 and helps us understand more of the wonder that believers in Jesus are not simply saved and redeemed, but they are also part of God’s family. Brothers and sisters (present or future), take a listen! Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medw...

In Matthew 26 36-46 we get a peak behind the curtain to see Jesus in private prayer. Join us as Adam leads us through how He prayed in a time of grief and distress. Jesus’ relationship with His Father and ours was real, raw and honest, and so was His praying. As so can ours be. We can pray honestly. Jesus was tempted in every way just as we are. He knows what we’re feeling. He understands.  Let’s...

Continuing our series based on prayers from the Bible, Audrey takes us to Matthew 21 18-22 . How should we pray? With faith. But praying with faith is not just A+B=C “name it and claim it” praying.  God takes it very seriously when we handle the holy things of God in an unholy manner. Pray with faith to the One who is worthy of our faith, in line with His will. (The slides used in the message)   C...

Continuing to pursue better praying, this week Julian guides us through Paul’s prayer for the Colossian Church Colossians 1 9-14 .  He highlights four points from Paul’s prayer: 1.   That they would be filled with the knowledge of God’s will for them through the Spirits work 2.    That they would live a life worthy of God, bearing fruit & growing in knowledge of God 3.    That they would be st...

Relax! Soak in His love! Chris encourages us to accept and revel in the bountiful love of God as we see it in Ephesians 3 14-21 . Love is a gift (v14-16) Love is a foundation (v17-19) Love is a witness (v20-21) We bring glory by showing what He has done for us. But we cannot show it if He has not done it for us.   Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/...

In the third message of our Prayer series, Mike spoke from Acts 4 23-31 . How do we pray in times of crisis? -       Come together in community -       Raise your voices together in prayer -       Pray Scripture -       Be true to the Truth -       Be true to the circumstances you are in -       Be true to God’s plan and calling -       Pray that o   God will enable us (and His other servants) to...

Tony preaches on Jesus’s great prayer for His disciples and for us at our Cornerstone Together service. John 17 20-26 .   Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Email:  wouldham@cornerstonecity.co.uk Podcasts:  https://anchor.fm/cccmedwayvalley

We are entering into our annual “40 Days of Prayer and Fasting”. Joe Brooks kicked off our series, helping us through Luke 11:1-13 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our d...

Jesus was (and is) 100% man and 100% God. Don’t understand this? Neither did the people on His day. Not his family, not the teachers of the Law. But He was (and is) 100% man and 100% God. And because He is 100% God, when they said what He did came from Beelzebul / Satan, they were wrong. Dangerously, blasphemously wrong. It was great to have Adam Voke unpack Mark 3 20-30 for us.     Cornerstone Ci...

Our good friend Doris Lemon tells us what happened that day - when Jesus went up the mountain away from the crowds, when he came back down with His twelve. Mark 3 13-19   Luke 6 12-16 He summoned whom He willed.  His decision, bathed in prayer, for His purpose. Each of them was called by the Father, through the Son, for His purpose. No mistakes. John 15 16 ESV Having been called, they came,…. And...

Jesus knew what He came for. There came a time to step back from the things that were pressing and focus on the Main Thing. What about me? Can I make the Main Thing the Main Thing? Mark 3:7-12   Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Email:  wouldham@cornerstonecity.co.uk Podcasts:  https://anchor.fm/cccmedwayvalley

Why do we take one day in seven and make is special? What are we remembering when we take our one-in-seven?  God told Moses (Exodus 20) to tell the Israelites to “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy”. And Jesus is “The Lord of the Sabbath” (Mark 2v28).  What does this mean for us? Mike spoke from Mark 2v26-3v6 He also referenced related passages in Genesis 2 , Exodus 20 and 1 Samuel   Corn...

Reset Adam encourages us to consider our lives at the start of the new year. Bible passages referenced: Ecclesiastes 7v1-4 Proverbs 4v5-9 Colossians 2v2-3 Philippians 1v21-26 Psalm 90v12   Reboot Then from 26:38, we turn to vision and values for the year ahead.   Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Email:  wouldham@c...

The Big Christmas Story Jesus from the beginning. Jesus promised. Jesus came. Jesus the King. Jesus the Saviour. Jesus promised. Jesus comes again. Jesus the eternal Saviour. Jesus the eternal King.

Joy! It’s a bad news, Good News story!   Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Email:  wouldham@cornerstonecity.co.uk Podcasts:  https://anchor.fm/cccmedwayvalley

Luke 1v46-55 Magnificat! My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. Magnifying and glorifying God. Adam leads us through Mary’s song, ( Luke 1v46-55 ), Hanna’s song ( 1 Samuel 2v1-10 ) and aspects of the Psalms. Magnify the Lord! Make His Name Glorious! Magnify Him with your whole being! Magnify Him with humility...

Mark 2 18-22 Chris Norwood challenged us from Mark 2 today, looking at a New Way to Worship, a New Gospel and a New Wineskin. So many missed opportunities. Games changers – missed! We are Christ followers. We don’t believe in “fate” or “chance”. But we do believe in taking our God-given opportunities. New Way to Worship Mark 2 18 Why do we fast? Chris took us to several passages to show why people...

Mark 2 13-17 Mark tell us that Jesus “saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he rose and followed him.” Follow me. What does Jesus mean when he says we should be following Him, continuously? How does He, the Great Shepherd, lead us, His sheep?   We were hugely privileged to have Matt Fox with us today. His slides are here   Cornerstone City Chur...

Mark 2 1-12 Who is Jesus? Jesus says “Child, your sins are forgiven”. Jesus sees a need and deals with the root cause. Jesus gives forgiveness, from which comes hope and peace. Jesus is accused of blasphemy by those who do not know who He is. Jesus knows what’s in our hearts. – He is God. Jesus has authority to forgive sins – He is God. Jesus is able to forgive sins. No one else is. Jesus died an...

The Passover meal, deliverance from slavery, atonement for sin, the horror of the cross, a new covenant, the presence of God, a heavenly feast, all held together in a ritual meal... This all together Sunday, Adam, one of our elders, teaches us about the Lord's Supper.

Mark 1:40-45 Ever had a swelling? A rash? Something suspicious that you just know you need to get someone to take a look at? It may not be leprosy, but we are all subject to the disfiguring, eroding, progressive impacts of sin. And Jesus is willing to heal. His death is what we need for our cleansing. Adam joined us today as we looked at Mark 1:40-45 in the context of Leviticus 13 and 14 and other...

Mark 1:35-39 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. What about us? Let us pray!   Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley linktr.ee/cccmedway Email:  wouldham@cornerstonecity.co.uk Podcasts:  https://anchor.fm/cccmedwayvalley
