  • Soul Music for a Festive Season

    What would Christmas be without music? Christmas and song just go together, and it's been this way since the very first Christmas. As the gospel of Luke opens, we find that God is preparing the way for Jesus to come into the world. As God lets the story’s key characters in on what’s about to take place, we find them responding to this news by breaking into songs of praise at various points in the text. This December, we’ll be exploring four of these biblical “Christmas songs” from the early chapters of Luke. It’s our prayer that the study of these biblical songs will allow us to regain—or even experience for the first time— the praise-filled wonder and excitement of what Christmas is really about.

    Glory: Illuminating Life with God's Virtue

    In line with Cornerstone's 2011 ministry emphasis, Imago Dei: Reflecting Jesus in All of Life, this series is a practical and in-depth exploration of how we are called to reflect God's GLORY-- the beauty and majesty of His character-- in every aspect of our lives. We will spend about one month on each of the virtues listed in 2 Peter 1:3-9, with particular focus on how we can live out these virtues in the following six "spheres" of life: Body & Soul Care; Family & Friends; Work; Time, Talent & Treasure; Local & Faith Community; Creation & Global Missions. Throughout this series, we will also be offering special tools (click here for a copy of the Reflecting Jesus in all of Life Assessment Tool), resources, and opportunities to help you assess your growth needs and take steps toward more fully reflect God's glory in the various dimensions of your life.

    Fighting the Unseen War: Disarming the Powers of Darkness

    From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible assumes the reality of a cosmic war beyond what the naked eye can see. The world we live in is a spiritual battlefield, and as God's people, we are in a war with unseen spiritual forces of darkness. Whatever happens in this invisible spiritual war zone profoundly affects our life here on earth. While the eventual triumph of good over evil is assured by God’s redemptive work in Jesus, we are living in an in-between time, confronted by the stubborn defiance of the forces of Satan while awaiting the return of the Christ who will defeat all the enemies of God and wipe out evil forever. In this series we will learn what the Bible teaches about the reality of this spiritual warfare and how we can practically prepare ourselves as well as support one another in community, as we engage and triumph over our spiritual enemy in Jesus’ name.

    Made in His Image: Becoming the Person God Intended

    This series will kick-off Cornerstone's 2011 ministry emphasis, Imago Dei: Reflecting Jesus in All of Life. "Imago Dei" is a Latin term meaning "Image of God" and it refers to the biblical teaching that God created human beings in his own image or likeness. What does it mean to be made in God's image? What implications does it have for the kind of person you are meant to be and become? What significance does it have for the choices you make in each and every area of your life? In this potentially life-changing series, we will be rolling up our sleeves, and digging into the Bible to explore these questions. We will also be offering special tools, resources, and opportunities to help you assess your growth needs and take steps toward more fully reflecting the image and likeness of Jesus in the various dimensions of your life.
