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.

A SMALLER GROUP OF SCOUTS AND A SIMPLE PIZZA 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 the pizza, 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.

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)

Pastor Carl (John 14:22-31) February 26, 2023

A Different Perspective

1/ A Home Visit (vs 22-25)

God makes a home in the hearts of those who surrender their lives to the Son of God.

2/ A Time to Remember (vs 26)

Sometimes we need to take a pause, step back, and remember what we already know.

3/ Jesus Was Telling the Disciples That His Leaving Was Something To Rejoice In Because It Meant He Would Conquer Sin and Death.

CHALLENGE: When everything seems to fall apart where does your hope lie? Christ who conquered sin and death, or in a world that let you down each and every day.

Pastor Carl (John 14:15-21) February 19, 2023

NO LONGER ORPHANS (John 14:15-21)
1/ The challenge ahead with the help we need
We must strive to obey the life God has commanded us to live, but where we fall short we have a helper to see us through.

2/ Something special for those who follow Christ
We belong to God, we are family, and family has privileges.

3/ You will know the love of the father
After salvation we start to really understand how much God loves us.

CHALLENGE: As a believer, do you strive to understand the love of God, and His promise of the Holy Spirit in your day to day life?

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.

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.

Pastor Carl (John 13:31-38) January 29, 2023

The Son’s Glory

John13 31 38
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.” 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.

Pastor Carl (John 13:18-30) January 22, 2023

John 13:18-30
I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled,[d] ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”
One of You Will Betray Me

21 After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22 The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus’ side,[e] 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus[f] of whom he was speaking. 25 So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.

1/ Those who trust and those who don’t
Jesus was fully aware of Judas’ betrayal and the necessity of it. However, Judas allowed his heart to be swayed by Satan and was responsible for the results.

2/ Betrayal does not happen by chance
Jesus was betrayed by one of his closest companions, and yet, his disciples never saw it coming.

3/ Wickedness cannot be hid from God
A wicked heart does not come from a person that just does not do good, but from being disconnected from the one who is where goodness (righteousness) comes from.
