    Sunday April 16 New Members Class and Lunch

     

    Register right now for our New Members Lunch Sunday April 16 to discover the foundational steps to participate in the mission and ministry of Cornerstone Baptist Church. Lunch and presentation will last 1.5 hours right after the 10:30 worship gathering.

     

    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?

    Join the greatest, eternal movement of world history today!

    Your First Step Luncheon – Sunday April 2, 2023

     

    WELCOME!

    Pastor Carl

    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 lasts an an hour and a half 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.

    John 19:17-27

    The Crucifixion

    So they took Jesus, 17 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.”

    23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, 24 so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,

    “They divided my garments among them,
        and for my clothing they cast lots.”

    So the soldiers did these things, 25 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

    John 19:38-42

    38 After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. 39 Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds in weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

    April 2 Banner Sunday Worship at 10:30am

    Luke 19:28-44

    28 And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32 So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.”

    35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”

    Repeat it loudly! Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!

    Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!

    Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!

    Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!

    Sunday March 12 is Scout Sunday. Our church has a Scout ministry that meets every Tuesday night on our campus. Pastor Carl is the head of the organization, and each year on scout Sunday we invite the scouts to join us and have a special event which includes worship at our normal 10:30 am time, and then a lunch for the whole church.

    UPDATE: A SMALLER GROUP OF SCOUTS AND FRIED CHICKEN LUNCH INSIDE

    We will be honoring about 10 scouts from the older group this time and expect about 25 guests for this event. Please bring salads and desserts to go along with fried chicken, and like our last event we are asking all of our Cornerstone family to stay for lunch, help with hospitality, and love on the scouts and their families. Remember some may be Christians but there are others that will only know we are Christians by our love. Begin praying for them and ask God to reveal Himself to them in a powerful way.

    We need help with setting up chairs and tables, serving, welcoming the families, and clean up. Click the register right now graphic and let us know how you will help! Or sign up Sunday and tell us what you will do, and what food you will bring.

    7 STEPS TO MATURITY BEGINS MARCH 19th. Are You a Mature Christian? How do you know? Is there a Biblical way to know if you are maturing in the faith? Does God give us a way to measure growth?

    Absolutely! In Seven Steps To Maturity, Randy shares powerful insights from two of Christ’s closest friends, John and Peter. You will be taken back to the clear instructions God gives on how to grow up and please Him. This class will teach you how important it is to mature in the faith God’s way, and how to measure your progress. And also Peter warns you must follow this narrow way. “But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins. So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:9-11 (NLT)

    Because of this great need today, we offer a simple to understand, but Biblical, plan for spiritual maturity. Even though we mostly teach adults in the church, it is hard to see that many are only spiritual infants or children.

    Scout Sunday February 12

     

    Sunday February 12 is Scout Sunday. Our church has a Scout ministry that meets every Tuesday night on our campus. Pastor Carl is the head of the organization, and each year on scout Sunday we invite the scouts to join us and have a special event which includes worship at our normal 10:30 am time, and then a lunch outside afterwards.

    This is where the volunteering comes into play. After pastor preaches the gospel to all of us, we need to help to love on the scout families. Some are Christians, some are not, but are open to come each year and join us on Sunday. We need help with setting up tents and chairs, preparing our lunch and serving it, welcoming the families, and clean up. Yes this is our lunch that we are sharing with the scouts and ask you all to stay if you can. And, we also need some to bring side dishes, salads, etc.

    Anytime we do events like this it makes me think of Christ’s passion for our neighbors. “So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ 22 And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ 23 And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled.” (Luke 14)

    Don’t miss this opportunity! Click the volunteer graphic below and let us know how you will help! or ign up Sunday and tell us what you will do, and what food you will bring.
