April 2023 - Cornerstone Baptist Church

Sunday is Coming (April 23, 2023)

Hello Cornerstone Family,

“to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’” Acts 26:18 NKJV

God is working, so keep praying! Pray like never before for our neighbors, friends, and guests that they will continue to think on and respond to the Word of God. Plead with the Lord to protect them from the evil one. Without God working “the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word” of God from their thoughts.

Pray that they will understand and see their sinfulness, and then that it will trouble them, and finally this will drive them to the free gift of God through Christ our Savior. Pray that their minds will be flooded this week and that they will return to church THIS Sunday. Pray and pray that their eyes will be opened to the gospel!

Pastor Carl is preaching his message, The Reality of the World’s Hate from John 15:18-27

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”

Read ahead and dig into the message Sunday using your listening guide!

Pizza with the Pastor… this Sunday after our worship gathering we are taking a new step to make a stronger connection with newer guests. It is a light introductory lunch (30-45 minutes) with Pastor Carl for those interested in connecting to Cornerstone. You can ask questions or just enjoy some Christian fellowship. If this describes you please click to button below so we can save a place for you.

And church family if you meet a guest Sunday please invite them to stay.

And you won’t want to miss these activities Sunday either…

9am Next Step Bible Study:

This week: With All Diligence Exercise Your Self-Control to Develop Steadfastness. If you serious about spiritual maturity this study is for you!

9am Student Bible Study:

Now more than ever our teens need God’s wisdom! This is a study in Proverbs.

10:45am Cornerstone Kids:

A family is made to work together and win together. God gave us a family to teach us how to be a part of a team. A good team works together to win. Your family team has a lot of responsibilities: cleaning, cooking, watching the kids, laundry, bath time, and even more! It’s a long list! Bring your kids Sunday, as we help them learn God’s design for the family.

We love you Cornerstone family! God bless, see you Sunday!

Why join a local church?

Many of you are alone and missing one of God’s best gifts.

1/ Join a church and surround yourself with God’s people
You will never like heaven filled with God’s people if you can’t stand being with them now. Don’t fool yourself believing you can have a special relationship with God by ignoring what He tells you to do. If you really connect to God you must obey Him.

“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25 NLT

This only happens when you join a local church! Notice there is no “I”, or “me”, but only “us”, “one another”, “we”, and “meeting together”. You will not be able to experience God and His will if you church hop, shop, or sit home and watch online.

2/ Join a church and submit to God’s established authority
Admit it you are following somebody, but where are they taking you? Jesus calls his followers to gather together and submit to His organized leadership.

“Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not with sorrow. That would certainly not be for your benefit.” Hebrews 13:17 NLT

Check out Acts 20:28 also.

3/ Join a church to serve God
Do you know if you are a Christian you have already been greatly gifted by the Holy Spirit with a grace gift for the purpose of using it to help other Christians. And did you know Romans 12:4-8 says you are already a member of the local Christians so what is keeping you from showing God’s love to your eternal family?
