Cornerstone Church of Fergus Falls, MN - Sermon Podcasts

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 apologize if there are any choppy transitions.)

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?
