We want you to KNOW GOD and 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). Our NEXT STEP system will help you to CHANGE and learn to live the Jesus way. Then we hope you will get involved in a group and/or on a serve team to help MOTIVATE others to KNOW GOD and MAKE A DIFFERENCE. In time we want you to learn to love like Jesus and begin to invest financially in the 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 where we live and work!

    Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers… So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:41-43

    Next Step Class: Led by Randy
    An astounding 4 out of 5 American adults profess to be Christians with half of all questioned claiming to be “born again” Christians. But many surveyed also indicated they rarely attended worship at a church, if they did they did nothing else with the church, did not believe the Bible to be completely true, and did not allow their beliefs to affect their lives. Can all of these people really be Christians?
     
    How To Follow Jesus is an 8-week commitment and lays the Biblical foundation on how to embrace the forgotten Christian culture of fellowship, teamwork and evangelism through small groups.
     
    You will learn why so many church people miss heaven, how to make sure you are really born again, how God gives you a new heart, how to turn away from sin, how the Holy Spirit transforms you, how to follow God’s will, how to commit to lasting friendships, how to change your focus to eternal matters, how to change your environment, and how to walk on the narrow way that few find.

    Next Step Class: 7 Steps To Maturity

    But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:5-11

    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.

    And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John. But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Mark 10: 41-45
