    Your First Step Luncheon – Sunday February 5, 2023

     

    WELCOME!

    You will learn about Cornerstone Baptist Church and how you can get connected with your neighborhood church.

    Thanks for joining us here on our website, we are so glad you want to learn more about Cornerstone Baptist Church and how you can get connected with your neighborhood church. We understand your time is valuable and appreciate that you are investing some of it with us. Our First Step Luncheon last a little over an hour as we share with you a little about us so that you can decide if we are the right fit for you and your family. We want you to know what we are doing, why we do it, and where we are heading.

    Even though families who connect to a church do NOT have perfect lives, they are better equipped to deal with all life’s challenges. They CAN do better with their relationships, marriages, parenting, finances, and much, much, more! This is why our goal is to become a neighborhood community center, building up and supporting our neighbors here in Port Saint Lucie.

    In our time together we hope to answer any questions you may have. Whether you are just checking us out or choosing to become a member, we are glad that you are taking THE NEXT STEP. There is a great journey ahead for us as we all build our families together!

    Call me at (772) 871-1600, or email me at pastorcarl@cbcpsl.church if you have any questions, or register now.

    1 John Bible Study, Evidence #2 Have you turned from sin? Sunday January 1, 2023

    9:00 AM Bible Study 1 John Bible Study Evidence #2 Have you turned from sin?

    “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, …” 1 John 5:13

    “Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not [practice] what I tell you?” Luke 6:46 (AMP)

    “My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. . .” 1 John 2:1

    “My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin.” 1 John 2:1(NLT)

    Remember, John learned to look deeper, rather than accept a simple testimony from a person who claimed to be a Christian, because Christ taught him to verify salvation by a person’s fruit.

    Our Lord warned in Matthew 7:13-14 (NLT) by saying, 

    13  “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.

    14  But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

    Jesus continued in verses 21-23 and clearly warned that many, many people would unite with the church and become known to the world as Christians. But, most of these people will be fakes. They would be deceived and sincere, but still, not real. And the only way to know for sure was evidence that existed beyond the surface, way beneath the sheep skins. 

    Christ proclaimed that those who broke God’s laws were fake, even if they were popular and even preachers, sincere and spiritual leaders, and even miraculous and famous.

    Here’s what Jesus warned. “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Matt 7:21-23 (NLT)

    So let’s carefully examine John’s second evidence. Download the student pdf here …

    Celebrate Christmas With Us! Christmas Eve 7:30 PM

    Port Saint Lucie is full of cars and people running from store to store shopping and preparing for the holiday season… mostly without a thought about what Christmas really is. There is spiritual darkness, an ignorance that blinds their minds, and leaves them without the Light of the World, our Savior Jesus! Our Lord stated, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12). But, did you ever notice that he also said, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:5) Wait, what? Well this is why Jesus previously taught his followers, “You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14)

    The great Messiah left us here, in this very day, to BE THE LIGHT! He calls us to “let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16) It is not what we say, it is what we do that shines brightly and opens the eyes of all who “walk in darkness”. Our neighbors do not see Jesus, nor understand the gospel. But, they understand that giving gifts to their kids, family, and friends is what love is. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” Our neighbors saw love when they came to our fall festival and received our free gifts of friendship, kindness to their children, and food. We were the light when darkness was celebrated. The neighbors who do not know Jesus, but brought shoe boxes to our church for needy kids across the world, saw we love others. We were the light! In December we will continue to be the light of the world. When we take our focus off of our own pleasures and turn our eyes to our neighbors who live in Port Saint Lucie, we shine brightly. “… if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?” (Matthew 5)

    Let’s press forward and do MORE! Let’s BE THE LIGHT this season!

    Cornerstone Baptist Church 8th Annual Fall Festival

     

    Your family can’t miss our fun Family Festival this year. It is packed with outdoor fun games, family challenges, a family treasure hunt, bounce houses, and more! On top of that we have food, plus free candy and ice cream will be available for the kids. With an indoor kid movie theater, craft tables, and lots of kid music there will be fun for the whole family. But please don’t scare the little kids. We ask you not to bring bloody, gory, demonic, and witchcraft costumes. Come so the kids can run, jump on bounces, and easily play games. Here are the directions.

    For more information call Pastor Carl at (772) 871-1600.

    Trunks are “game booths” for games and candy giveaways, and we need your help to make this event a huge success in reaching our neighbors for Christ! 

    Our goal is to have 20 fun-filled, creative trunks! Simple games like ball toss, ring toss, etc. are encouraged. Here are some game ideas.

    The voted best trunk will be our Grand Prize Winner and receive a $25 gift card!

    The Fall Festival is on Saturday, October 29th from 3:00pm-6:00pm. We ask that you come between 1:30pm-2:30pm to set up your trunk prior to the event start. Candy will be provided for all trunks, but donations are appreciated.

    We ask that our participants keep in mind that our Fall Festival is a family event, and that young children will be in attendance. Therefore, we ask that you refrain from any scary, evil, or violent trunk themes. If you have questions about trunk themes, please contact Pastor Carl, (772) 871-1600 prior to the event. Thank you!

    Please ensure you only register yourself to secure the trunk space as the “main trunk contact” and include anyone else as “trunk helpers”, so we know how many people will be at each trunk. You will see this during the registration process.

    Next Step: Membership Class

     

     

     

    Discover the foundational steps to participate in the ministry of Cornerstone. Next Step: New Members Class is on 09/18/2022 at 9:00 am. Register for the class here.

    Why should I become a member?

    The New Testament instructs us to “assemble” together and to use our gifts to build up our church family. We are not meant to do this on our own. The Bible teaches that our lives are best lived and expressed in the context of community. According to the Bible, pastors are accountable to God for the souls of their people. Our pastors take this responsibility seriously to provide and care for the members through the ministry leaders and ministries of our church. Therefore, it is critical to be able to identify who belongs to the church.
