Trust in God’s Protection Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9: 10 NIV® In the opening verse we are reminded of the importance of knowing who God is and trusting in Him. This does not mean that if we trust in God...
Good morning, Cornerstone people. Let us get ready to share some thoughts to set us up for the day. Firstly, I am sorry that those of you who cannot use the voice recording did not get a written script last week. It was all my fault. I am not brilliant using my computer and kept sending...
Led by Revd George Mwaura [The service is contained in the following video. All words spoken and sung appear in the video and are as shown below.] Call to Worship Do you have a desire, a deep desire to worship and to know the Lord God, and to understand the values of the kingdom? Come, then,...
Sermon by Revd George Mwaura If you think church conflict is something new, then you haven’t been in church long enough. There is a church I read about where the Minister and the Director of Music were not getting along. As time went by, this began to spill over into the worship service. During the first week...
Almighty God, we tremble as we think of who we are and who you are.
Bring us now, in this moment, to know you.
See us as we are, and see our yearning to be more like you.
May we lay aside anything that hinders our journey with you,
and with our friends and neighbours and we ask in Jesus’ name.
Amen
Good evening, Cornerstone friends. How have you been feeling over the last few days? Are you appreciating having more time? Fed up with the change of routine and longing for life to be more normal? Finding that you are becoming less cautious? If you are like me, you’ve probably experienced all these feelings – and more....
Good morning, Cornerstone People and welcome to prayers for Friday morning, this first Friday in September. Have you noticed the turning season this week? The sun gets up later and goes to bed earlier. Approaching autumn, the time of change, can be unsettling, even sad. We inwardly mourn the loss of summer brightness giving in to...
A reading from Psalm 119 ה He 33 Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. 34 Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart. 35 Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. 36 Turn my heart...
The Value of Self Discipline My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. Proverbs 3: 11–12 NIV® Today’s culture is obsessed with entertainment, sports, materialism and emotional gratification. In fact, those excessive preoccupations have become...
Good evening, everyone. Music to end the day begins with the delightful ‘Les Barricades Mystérieuses’, written for harpsichord by the great French clavecinist Francois Couperin in 1717. It is a fine example of ‘style brisé’ (broken-chord style) characteristic of French baroque keyboard music. The piece is in rondo form, with a recurring theme which appears four...
Service of the Word Led by Revd George Mwaura [The whole service is contained in the audio file and the full text of the service is posted here (with the exception of the text of the sermon).] Prelude: Sinfonia in D minor by J.S. Bach Introit: My song is love unknown My song is love unknown,...
O God, whose words burns like a fire within us,
grant us a bold and faithful spirit
that in your strength we may be unafraid to speak your word
and follow where you lead.
We make our prayer through Jesus Christ your Son and our Lord
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen
Good evening, friends. Welcome to our Friday evening prayer time. Those of you who use the prayers on WhatsApp may find these pictures familiar. Unfortunately, I sent out the wrong file last week, which had the beginnings of a draft for this Friday. Thanks to Robin, who noticed this, so it could be changed on the...
