    CONNECTION DINNER, May 25 @ 5 PM

    We want you to be a part of the family at Cornerstone Baptist Church. You are here so that is your first step. We hope your next step will be to repent, believe and be baptized (if you have not already done so). Then we hope you will get involved in a group or on a serve team and begin to invest financially in our relentless pursuit of every person, in every family and every neighborhood in Port Saint Lucie. We are in this together—pulling people in, lifting them up, and bringing them home to be a part of God’s family. We want you to experience the kind of community that Jesus modeled with His disciples. He did not just ask people to show up to a meeting; He called them to engage and follow Him on the mission of reaching others. As we follow Him and the example He gave His disciples, we do not just “go to church” – we are the church. We are the church in here as we gather so that we can go and be the church out there!

    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.

     

    OCTOBER

    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.

    Next Step: Spiritual Growth Seminar Begins September 8th 11 AM

     

    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 Bell 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)

    In all levels of normal public education, a very systematic and calculated program is established. Each level achieved, lays the foundation for the next level. First, basic concepts are laid as a foundation, then more complex principles are added, followed by specific applications. Simply said, a kindergartner is given basic information. Then the elementary grades lay down strong foundations for the students. Next, the middle and high school build and develop larger principles, since the basics are already understood. Finally, the college level training applies very specific applications to turn the abstract ideas, information, and concepts into real world activities and jobs.

    No one in their right mind would try to teach college level math to a first grader, nor brain surgery to a fifth grader. Without a clear developed path of learning, a child would never be able to eventually become a trusted brain surgeon. The dangers of having brain surgery would be astronomical with a chaotic and random learning process. Everyone understands the necessity of carefully planned education.

    But, the church is so fragmented and confused there is little thought involved in teaching the Word with the purpose of developing maturity. Few if any use a graded or measurable way of maturing believers. Because of this, there is little understanding of the Bible in the rank and file. In fact, mass confusion is leading the church into self destruction.

    Research proves the vast majority of kids today that have grown up in the church quit as soon as possible. Divorce is more prevalent in the church than the culture without God. In general, the average Christian cannot coherently explain the main concepts of the Bible, let alone apply them to their lives for the promised life of blessing that God’s Word offers.

    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.
