Something’s Happening
Posted on 18. Sep, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
Something is happening with the men of our church. We’ve had around 75 to 85 guys show up at Cornerstone at 6:15 AM the last two Tuesdays for this deal we started called MAN2MAN…and it’s been amazing.
These first weeks we’ve been hearing testimonies from guys in our church about what Christ has done in their [...]

Innovate 08
Posted on 18. Sep, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
Day 1 of Innovate…a good one. Much of the day revolved around the church leveraging the culture to engage the world with the story of Jesus. We heard about this, talked about this and experienced this ourselves. The “experienced this” part was quite amazing and compelling.
Here’s a rundown from our session with Tim Stephens today, [...]

Prayer of Surrender
Posted on 03. Sep, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
Just wanted to drop in this prayer. I shared it in a sermon a few weeks back and have had several folks ask about it. It’s one that John Wesley first prayed in 1780 with his early Methodist preachers. This became part of thier annual covenant service they would do at the beginning of each [...]

I Will Help You

Here’s one of my absolute favorite Olympic stories. It’s Derek Redmond’s final run in the 400 m of the 1992 Olympics…along with his dad.
“For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ‘Do not fear; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13

Power in Poverty
Posted on 10. Aug, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
Just wanted to drop this song in this morning by Jason Upton. It’s one I’ve been listening to as we have been in our current sermon series “Cha-Ching”…money and God’s intention for it in our lives.
I won’t write much about it…just want these words to stand on their own. May need to listen [...]

A Father and A Son
Posted on 08. Aug, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
Most Fridays I spend the day catching up on other stuff in life…paying bills, running errands, playing with the kids while Leslie gets a break, working in the yard and such. But last Friday I had all three by myself all day. Leslie had to go to some technology training deal for her [...]

Chick-Fil-A, Two Guys, and a Bible
Posted on 10. Jul, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
I went to Chick-Fil-A early this morning to meet one of my good friends, Jay Walters. When I walked in the door I saw Jay talking talking to a few guys over in a booth. I went over to say hello and noticed that one had his Bible out on the table. [...]

“Call to Me”
Posted on 06. Jul, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
I’m sitting here in my office this morning just getting ready for church today. Thinking of all the people that will walk through our doors this morning to worship God. Some will come from the peak of a mountain and some will come from the lowest valley. Some will think they [...]

Picture of a Servant…Timothy
Posted on 30. Jun, 2008 by Josh Agerton.
Meet Timothy, a Ugandan in his mid 20’s who served as one of our translators while on our trip this month. Although we were from two very different worlds we somehow just hit it off instantly. We spent a lot of time cutting up and joking on each other but we’d often fall into [...]
