Michael’s Sermons

Hey Everyone!

I am really excited to let you know that we are starting to put Michael’s sermons on the blog! This is something I have wanted to do for nearly three years now, and it has been quite time consuming. For those of you who have asked me about this project, I apologize that it has taken so long. But here they are, and they are my favorite sermons ever preached. I hope you enjoy and are encouraged by them as much as I have been! 

These sermons are from our years at Cornerstone Church from 2012 to 2017.  They are just the raw recordings, so the quality isn’t always great and the beginning of many sermons includes a few minutes of personal comments about church life.  Our years at Cornerstone Church were special, we made some great friends and treasured memories. Whether you are a close friend from Cornerstone or someone we’ve never met, we hope these sermons will be helpful, even as they were prayerfully prepared and delivered for a specific time, place and people.

* More sermons will be added over the next few weeks.
