When we began as a church, we decided that we would adopt the 1689 London Baptist Confession as the best summary of our core beliefs. In line with that, we have spent a significant amount of time studying the confession as a church in our special meetings on the first Friday of each month. About…
We’re saying goodbye to this wonderful place. August 30th is our last church service in the Vicksburg location. Beginning on September 6, we will be meeting just a few miles away at Colony Creek Community Church. We are very grateful to God’s ongoing provision for our congregation, and thankful for nearly 4 years in one…
As I was preparing for this week’s sermon I have been thinking about what we have already covered as way of review. It is amazing to me how we can never exhaust the teaching that the Bible has for us. Christians frequently remark how the same passages, when visited again, can teach us new insights…
Ephesians 2:4-7 Our future with Christ is secured by God through grace in His kindness towards us. In a sense, we are God’s trophies of kindness.

Recently, we at Cornerstone Christian Fellowship (CCF) added a number of families to our church membership and enjoyed formally receiving them into the congregation. Membership is a topic that is rarely addressed sufficiently in the churches today; its even seen as unnecessary in some congregations. But we believe the Bible teaches us that church membership…
Have you ever seen a child run away from his parent’s discipline? When I was a little kid growing up in the 1970s, just about everyone employed the old fashioned whoopin’. Kids could expect the belt, a paddle or a switch to lay some corrective exclamations upon their backside when an offense was bad enough.…
