    GROW SEMINAR – Begins Sunday September 8, 11 am

     

    You will be taken back to the clear instructions God gives on how to grow up and please Him. This seminar will teach you how important it is to mature in your faith, God’s way, and how to measure your progress.

    We will meet on the back porch and start at 11 am. If you have a Next Step notebook from a Meet & Greet, Membership Info Dinner, or a Next Step Class please bring them with you. The pages that I will give you are a manual of great detail to help you in your life long journey with God. I will not cover all of this while we have our six hours together, but I will lay down a clear and concise Bible Study sharing the foundational steps to grow up God’s way.

    There are audio recordings and more details on my website Seven Steps to Maturity, thousands have found it useful. The site is at https://7steps.klptv.com/front-page/ and may help you understand what God expects of you to grow spiritually if you want the extra help. This seminar will encourage you to take your growth and walk with God more seriously than your career, hobbies, and personal enjoyments of this life.

     

    SEPTEMBER

    08 (Week 1) Introduction – The Four Phases of Spiritual Life/ The Seven Steps / Step 1 Examined

    You will learn how to measure your spiritual growth, why you must be determined to advance spiritually, and how to focus on your first step of obedience. When you are convicted of your sin, admit and repent you are born again. Your sins are forgiven but just a spiritual infant! You must be changed.You must fight with every ounce of new faith you have, cling to every promise you find in God’s Word, and rush to other believers to help you.

    22 (Week 2) Step 2 – With All Your Diligence Use Your New Virtue to Add Knowledge                          

    Because we talk about knowledge and read the Bible and other books does not mean we KNOW God! You read and get some knowledge, but if you concentrate on building godly character you will begin to experience GOD! We will help you understand how.

    29 (Week 3) Step 3 – Exercise Your Knowledge of God to Develop Self-Control. 

    When you begin Step 3 you enter strength training. Your goal is to combine  your faith, your character, and your knowledge of God to become strong in the Lord. Your spiritual life will begin to reflect restraint and self-control. The desire to please God starts to merge with the strength and power to resist the devil.

    13 (Week 4) Step 4 – With Every Bit of Self-Control You MUST Push Forward and Stand Up and Conquer

    Use your new self-defense mechanism, the power of self-control, to turn the tide and become a conqueror! Our savior expects us to go and march forward in the spiritual fight for this generation.

    20 (Week 5) Step 5 – Use Your Steadfast Strength, Develop Godliness, & Become the Servant of God

    Train yourself for godliness. You must learn to have complete dependance upon Him for your life. To be godly is to be like Jesus who loved and served the Father by serving others as your normal and everyday way of life.

    27 (Week 6) Steps 6 & 7 As you invest in others by serving them, you will begin to love them

    In Step 6 we learn to love our fellow Christians. This is where your spiritual strength and steadfastness are needed and revealed to accomplish whatever assignment your Lord calls you to tackle. The whole concept of this step is clear. It takes a godlike person, relying on the fruit of the Spirit, to love people like God does. Brotherly kindness does not come easily, it takes a lot of forgiveness and patience.

    Every step of spiritual maturity leads us to the final step, developing the passion of loving even your enemies with no need of anything in return. Even though we need godliness to love our fellow Christians in the biblical way, we really need godliness plus strong friendship to actually love the world that hates us.

    Sunday @ Cornerstone 7/28/2024

     

    Here what is going to happen this weekend. First, Pastor Carl is back and will be teaching us about prayer and God’s amazing responses to His people when we seriously call upon Him. In Acts 12:5-19 we will see how the Lord miraculously responded to the church. Most in our day doubt God will answer, but some of them did also. He answered anyway!

    Make sure you make it early too. If you attend the first worship at 9:30 come by 9:15, grab a cup of coffee and a doughnut and get to know your brothers and sisters in Christ. The same goes for the 11 am worship. Come by 10:45 and befriend others.

    The song list is: 1/ Plead the Blood 2/ Strength Will Rise 3/ Same God To practice them with lyrics type WORSHIP and text to 844-870-8490.

    Friendship Sunday At Cornerstone Sunday July 14TH

     

     

    FRIENDSHIP SUNDAY AN ACTS 2:42 EVENT – Worship and Breaking Bread Together

    FRIENDSHIP SUNDAY IS AN ACTS 2:42 EVENT of God’s Word, Worship, Fellowship and Breaking Bread Together!

    As Acts 2 states: “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers… 44 And all who believed were together … 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people.”

    09:30 am First Worship/Superhero Kids (9:30-10:45)

    10:45 am Games/Fellowship/Food Preparation (outside in the back during second worship gathering)

    11:00 am Second Worship Gathering (11:00 am – 11:35 am) Volunteers are welcome to help in this service!

    11:40 am All Church Picnic (bring outdoor chairs, and a dish to pass if you want, not required)

     

    42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers... 44 And all who believed were together … 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

    WE ARE BUILDING FELLOWSHIP! = Fellowship is based on the “one another commands” of the New Testament.  “Love one another;” “exhort one another;” “comfort one another;” “bearing with one another;” “forgiving one another;” edify one another;” “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs;” “we are members of one another;” minister your grace gift “to one another;”, and “pray for one another” are examples of at least twenty-three one another commands. *See below for details.

    * Fellowship together is defined as koinoônia from the Greek language of the New Testament. It means partnership, close social union, deep communication, and common distribution. Like a piece of plywood, God wants our local church families to be glued together in such a union that the pulling apart of any one Christian will hurt and scar the group. The Holy Spirit formed “original church” exemplifies this for us. This is clearly presented in the language of our text, “All who believed were together;” “all things in common;” “continued daily with one accord;” and “breaking bread from house to house.”

    According to Acts 2:42-47 we are partnered together in four ways: membership, mission, ministry, and maturity. Therefore we must understand what fellowship embraces. Fellowship is based on the “one another commands” of the New Testament.  “Love one another;” “exhort one another;” “comfort one another;” “bearing with one another;” “forgiving one another;” edify one another;” “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs;” “we are members of one another;” minister your grace gift “to one another;”, and “pray for one another” are examples of at least twenty-three one another commands. Therefore, as the local church gathers for worship it must follow the teaching and example of how the Bible guides the church to fellowship. We must interweave into our gatherings the opportunity for believers to obey these commands.

    The obvious teaching is that when they met on Sunday they came to fellowship with God and their Christian family. The reason we gather, Paul instructs, is for “edification and exhortation and comfort to men.” We can have fun alone with God and worship God in our “closets.” Yes we can have incredible prayer in our “closets.” But, when we gather a partnership unfolds. A common distribution of love and ministry must begin. Everything must happen so that “loving one another” is clearly practiced.
