April 18: “The Pattern of Prayer”
(NOTE: This week there is NO specific, primary scripture; rather, I will being using verses from a wide variety of Psalms.
If you took all the kinds of prayers you can think of and put them into categories, they would fall into six different types; this message will identify those six, and explain the differences between them. The second half of the message then makes the case for daily praying through “The Pattern of Prayer” in a particular order, and why that is. Come or tune in, and enhance your prayer life!

April 04: “The Great ‘I AM’” Series, #8 of 8: “I AM the Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:17-28, 32-44)
It is fitting that we complete the “Great I AM” series on EASTER Sunday! While Lazarus is the one raised from the dead in this scripture, Jesus is still at the center of this message about death, and the resurrected life which follows it. It is a time to feel many emotions, with bad ones replaced with good ones in a celebration of Christ, Who is not only risen, but truly LORD, sovereign over all our lives!

Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service
Thursday, April 1, 7 P.M.
The service includes solemn songs and Communion, but the core of the Tenebrae service works like this: It starts out with the church in candlelight. Scriptures will be read and candles will be extinguished until the final candle is extinguished, leaving the congregation in near total darkness – and near total devastation. There is no benediction and the people leave in silence. The purpose of the service is to recreate the betrayal, abandonment, and agony of the events, and it is left unfinished, because the story isn’t over until Easter Day.
If you see only the happy ending of a movie, everyone who saw it from the start is elated, but you go away saying, “So they were all hugging each other? So what?” But if you see the beginning and the middle part, with all the suspense and grief, you understand what the characters overcame, and the happy ending is all the happier. Attending the Easter service without attending the Holy Week services is like watching the happy ending of the movie without seeing the middle— you only rob yourself of joy.

March 28: “The Great ‘I AM’” Series, #7 of 8—“I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 12:12-19; 14:1-7; Acts 4:5-12)
This one statement by Jesus could easily make three separate sermons, but we’ll roll it all into one AND throw in Palm Sunday to boot! “Truth” and “Life” have appeared briefly in other messages in this series, so greater (though not exclusive) emphasis will be placed on the “Way”, including both Jesus being the ONLY one, and how Palm Sunday fits in His “way” to the cross.

March 21: “The Great ‘I AM’” Series, #6 of 8—“I AM the Light of the World” (John 3:16-21; Ephesians 5:6-14)
Light is not only a powerful presence throughout scripture, it is also a prevalent symbol. Light isn’t just Who Jesus is, but who we’re meant to be as well. Light does more than rise and shine or turn on and off. Be “enlightened” and see what other “beams” of truth are revealed in this week’s message.

March 14: “The Great ‘I AM’” Series, #5 of 8: “I AM the True Vine”
(John 15:1-11)
Spring is nearly here, a time when flowers will be blossoming, trees will be budding, and vines, well vines will be growing, which is just one of many things our relationship with Jesus is meant to be and do. Even as spring is manifested in many ways, so is the impact of Jesus the True Vine on our lives. Come this Sunday to hear more!

March 07: “The Great ‘I AM’” Series, #4 of 8: ““I AM the Bread of Life” (John 6:25-35, 47-58)
On this Communion Sunday it is fitting that we address Jesus as the Bread of Life, though the significance of this title goes far beyond the Eucharistic loaf. Bread as an expression of life—the kind of life Jesus brings us—blesses us in multiple ways. Come listen for how.

February 28: “The Great ‘I Am’” Series, #3 of 8—“I AM the Good Shepherd” (Psalm 23; Isaiah 40:9-11; 53:1-7; John 10:11-18)
Jesus isn’t just a shepherd; He’s the GOOD Shepherd, and this message will reveal why. Ironically, Jesus isn’t only a shepherd; He’s a sheep, and this message will reveal not only why, but also how necessary it is for us all.

February 21: “The Great ‘I Am’” Series, #2 of 8—“I AM the Door”(John 10:1-10; Revelation 3:14-22)
Doors, gates, entrances have various purposes, and Jesus the Door provides a variety of blessings to us in our varied needs. Of course, it also matters which side of the door we’re on, as well as who’s knocking…and why. “Enter” into this message with an “open door” heart and mind!

February 17/ASH WEDNESDAY: “The Great ‘I Am’” Series, #1 of 8—“YAHWEH: ‘I AM Who I AM’” (Exodus 3:7-15; John 8:31-36, 48-59)
From the time of childhood, people wonder Who God is, and what God does. The Old Testament introduced a powerful name—YAHWEH—to describe God, a title that in the Gospel of John, Jesus in the simplest way possible applied to Himself. John then goes on to share seven variations of that title. Tonight’s message introduces this title and its meaning as we begin this eight-part series.

February 14: “The Church Moves Out” Series #4 of 4 (Matthew 9:35-38; Colossians 4:7-18)
The previous three weeks laid the groundwork for helping the Church to do what it is called to do, and with whom they do it. As we bring this series to an end, the Church is called forth to share the Gospel of Christ with the world through word and deed!

February 07: “The Laity Move Up” Series #3 of 4 (Acts 6:1-7; 1 Peter 2:4-10)
If the previous week’s message emphasized the biblical responsibilities which pastors have within the life of the church, this week teaches not just about the laity’s responsibilities but also emphasizes the respect and status they are to have. Defining words will help too!

January 31: “The Pastor Moves Over” Series #2 of 4 (Mark 1:16-20; Ephesians 4:11-16)
One thing pastors and laity have in common is that sometimes neither one of them do their job. By this I don’t mean they do nothing; I mean that too often, they do the wrong job: the pastor very often does what the Lord intends laity to do, and the laity do something other than the job God calls them to do. To straighten us all out, be sure to come this Sunday and hear a message that gets both pastors and laity to the right job, and thus the right place in the church’s ministry! [NOTE: This week emphasizes the pastor’s job more, and next week the laity’s.]

January 24: “God Is On the Move” Series, #1 of 4: “The Holy Spirit Moves In” (John 14:12-17;1 Corinthians 2:12-3:3)
This begins a four-part series which as a whole is entitled “God Is On the Move”, and indeed, the Church itself would never move or change or do what the Lord created it to do unless the Holy Spirit initiates, inspires, and induces the people of God to get going! Come listen to this message not only to discover Who is moving in, but also HOW we are to respond.

January 17: “Pro-Life, By Choice” (Psalm 139:13-18; Jeremiah 1:4-8)
This message is not meant to be political but biblical. It covers the difficult issue of abortion, and seeks to address and correct the abuses of both sides of this difficult dilemma. As you listen to this sermon, work hard to hear God speak, for the LORD is both the Sovereign Creator and the Sovereign Protector of life.

Simply put, today’s message is about the providence of God, but it also involves trees, eggs, and a bunch of birds from chickens to sparrows. By the time you finish listening to this sermon, you should know not only the nature of God’s providence, but also its purpose, for YOUR greater good!

January 03: “Changes: Chances and Challenges” (Acts 1:6-8; 2:37-47; 6:1-7; 8:1b-4; 10:9-16)
This sermon sets the stage for the New Year, recognizing that we make resolutions because we recognize we need to make changes in our lives…and in our church. Changes can be real chances and opportunities for improvements, but they can also result in difficult challenges to overcome. Come hear how we need to change the way we do worship and discipleship as the people of Cornwall!
