Cornerstone Church Kingston Podcast

After a long break Phil carries on in our series in Jeremiah preaching from Jeremiah 2:1-19. In this passage Jeremiah speaks to a nation that has neglected her husband Yahweh. We see that as God's people we are to remain faithful to him individually as well as corporately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HidX4Ert2_Y

In the latest in our series in the life of Elisha, Pete preaches from 2 Kings 5:20-27 on the story of Gehazi. In this passage we see the fruit of unbelief in the life of Elisha's servant Gehazi. The passage warns us to watch out for thoughts and behaviours that might lead us away from seeking God's kingdom and instead living for this world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SimxsQA5DxI

A new, weekly podcast from Cornerstone Church Kingston looking at 26 truths you need to know to help you grow, following the letters of the alphabet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4bT7roe6jc

Rory speaks of the last beatitude in our series; "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." We see in this passage that the desire to live a righteous life in this world will cause friction and bring about some suffering and persecution. We also see from 1 Peter 2:11-25, that our suffering is not meaningless if we remain in Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7DDKTphHOg

Pete continues our series in the life of Elisha preaching on the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5:1-19. In this passage a commander of the Aramean army goes to see Elisha the prophet to be healed of his leprosy. We see how God humbles Naaman so he sees his need for God himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joiHjQel2Yk

Tom continues our series in the life of Elisha, preaching from 2 Kings 4:38-44. In this passage we see how God uses our limited, simple and sacrificial efforts in providing for his people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeMPnMp4lj8

Ben continues our series in 'The Beatitudes' in Matthew 5:1-12, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.". In passage we see what it means to be a peacemaker and what a lasting peace with God means for our relationship with him and others around us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbU7qTbrkAk

It seems as though Jesus' crucifixion is the pinnacle of this story, but really it's his resurrection! Pete and Tom discuss the shocking turn of events, and the hope it brings us today. Mark 16:1-8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FimPOgWtgeI

As this is an eye-witness account of Jesus' death and resurrection, it's important that the right details are included in the gospel. Pete and Tom look at look at Jesus being laid in the tomb after his crucifixion. Mark 15:42-47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MuqdO9stAQ

When Jesus was crucified, there were women watching on who loved him and cared for him. Today Pete and Tom are taking a look at two small verses which are quite surprising to see at such a pinnacle point in the story. Mark 15:40-41 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PzYQd9mnNk

In the next in our series in the life of Elisha, Tom speaks on the story of Elisha purifying the deadly stew in 2 Kings 4:38-41. In this passage Elisha shows God's bigger plan to redeem us and his creation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH0SAVLctqA

James continues our series in 'The Beatitudes' in Matthew 5:1-12, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God". In passage we see what it means to be "pure in heart" and our sure hope in Jesus to make us pure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGd-zNrSW6Y

The whole scene must have started to become very troubling for those witnessing it. They believed he was a fraud, and then the sky goes black, the temple curtain is torn in two. And do the priests realise what they are doing? No. But a Roman solider starts to understand. Mark 15:33-39 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWYutG0E6P8

As Jesus is nailed up onto the cross, they are still mocking him. While he suffers, they throw insults. While he dies they taunt him. They didn't understand the gravity of what Jesus was doing, and they didn't understand how accurate their "insults" were. Mark 15:21-32 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOv2htCLZBA

We titled this series "Crown of Thorns" and we've finally reached that moment. Ben and Pete discuss how the King of the Universe was mocked and tortured by mere men. Mark 15:16-20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d4xnWd4Xxw

Continuing our series in the Beatitudes, Pete preaches on "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy". We see how people whom show mercy have understood the mercy God has shown them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk5IDerOnig

Continuing our Elisha series, Ben speaks on the story of Elisha and the Shunammite’s Son Restored to Life, in 2 Kings 4:8-37. In this passage we see how the miracles performed through Elisha point to God's kindness and faithfulness to his people. We also see the woman's example of faithful perseverance and dependence of God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmmsd3shYu8

We have all been plagued with fear at some point in our lives, but would we be willing to protect ourselves at the expense of a loved one? Ben and Dean discuss how Peter did just that when he for sure that he wouldn't. Mark 14:66-72 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzoSwkiheHE

Today Ben and Dean are discussing the priests' last ditch attempt to find Jesus guilty of something so they can get rid of him. But try as they may, they cannot seem to find a case that sticks - until Jesus utters just two words. Mark 14:53-65 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9gQRwdDRZU

In the next in our Elisha series Ben looks at the story of the poor widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7. In this passage Elisha encounters a widow unable to pay her debtor. Elisha's actions show us God's heart for the vulnerable who are unable to provide their needs or pay their debts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BodWQBdQ5Rg
