Identifying Counterfeit Gods
Posted on 01. May, 2011 by Josh Agerton.
When most of us think about the issue of idolatry we think about an image like this. I can almost guarantee that this drawing was taped up on the wall in one of my Sunday school classrooms growing up. I wanted to share it here because I think it really captures much of the way [...]

“We”
Posted on 28. Mar, 2011 by Josh Agerton.
These last days have been some amazing ones in the Cornerstone community. It seems that there is a deeper longing for Jesus and his Spirit to dwell in us here lately. I sense it in our worship – the stories I hear of people serving each other – healing/restoration that is happening in people’s lives [...]

So last night Leslie told me that Ms. Mary, the custodian where she works – Wrights Mill Road Elementary – came to her and said, “I need to talk to you about your church – Cornerstone.” Leslie’s first thought – “Oh no – what’s going on? What happened”. A little later in the day Ms. [...]

Some have asked for a copy of the notes from the message so [...]

Being Where You Are
Posted on 05. Jan, 2011 by Josh Agerton.
I’ve been reading a book again that a friend gave to me a few years ago…“I’m Proud of You” by Tim Madigan. It’s the account of an unlikely friendship that took place between Madigan (staff writer for Fort Worth Star newspaper) and Fred Rodgers…aka Mr. Rodgers – you know the one with the neighborhood. I [...]

Jesus Enters Into Our Mess
Posted on 04. Jan, 2011 by Josh Agerton.
I’ve had a few folks ask about this video that I used in my message the day after Christmas and just wanted to put it out here. Really gripped me – Maybe because I know that in a way I have lived on East Hastings Street in Vancouver and Jesus came into my mess and [...]
