Category: Pastor’s Update

Good afternoon, Church family. This marks my final email update. You will still receive updates from time to time from the Board.   Most of you know that this Sunday, June 21 is Father’s Day.  But did you also know that it is National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada. It is designed to recognise and celebrate…

Good evening, Church family. I have been thinking about some of the events at Cornerstone over the last few months. Hebrews 10:24-25 says  24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now…

Good afternoon, Church Family The very last verse in the book of 2 Corinthians says this: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.  Paul writes this (2 Corinthians 13:14) as a farewell in the letter to the church in Corinth.…

Good evening, Church family. This past Sunday in my sermon about the apostle Andrew, one of the things that we talked about was how the Great Commission was both a command, and also a promise – a promise to know that when we follow the Great Commission, we are never alone.  In Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus…

Good evening, Church family Today at Good Neighbours Food Centre (the food bank I also work at) I shared the prayer below with the volunteers. Leading prayer time is a privilege I have most Fridays shortly before we open for food distribution. On June 14, our service at church is going to look a little…

Good afternoon, Church family We recently finished our sermon series on Peter, but I wanted to continue this week with a devotion from 1 Peter 2:5. The passage says 4 You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great…

Good evening, Church Family. Leviticus 19:33-34 says 33 “Do not take advantage of foreigners who live among you in your land. 34 Treat them like native-born Israelites, and love them as you love yourself. Remember that you were once foreigners living in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.  On Wednesday I had the privilege to go to…

Good evening, Church family Today we resume with a devotion based on an event in Peter’s life. Our passage comes from Acts 4:1-4 which says 4 While Peter and John were speaking to the people, they were confronted by the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and some of the Sadducees. 2 These leaders were very disturbed that…

Good afternoon, Church Family. Did you know that today, April 22, is International Earth Day?  Psalm 24:1 declares, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”  But then in Romans 8:19-21 we are reminded that while Creation is currently groaning, one day Creation itself will be set free from its current bondage to decay.  As…

Good morning, Church family, Last week we began our sermon series called The Peter Chronicles.   Since we only have four weeks in this sermon series, we will also briefly look at other events in Peter’s life during my email update.   This morning we are looking at Matthew 14:22-33. A quick summary – Jesus tells the…
