Welcome to September!!

It’s a new season at Cornerstone Church and we are so glad that you are a part of it.

This Sunday is going to be SOUP-er in every sense of the word.
Ramon and Rho are leading worship, but they have also been busy preparing soup for everyone to enjoy following the service. We are calling it “What’s Soup?” – a play on the phrase “Whassup?” Please join for a time of friendship, conversation and delicious soup!

Pastor Barry is leading us in Communion and sharing a message of HOPE for those who are in “the valley of trouble”. Everyone will be able to relate to this message as it offers hope even in the darkest of times.

It’s the final fun week of SuperBook with our kids before we kick off an amazing kid’s church program next Sunday.

We look forward to seeing you this Sunday at Cornerstone Church at 10:30 am.

Psalm 41:4
I said, “LORD, be merciful to me; heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

There are a few things that King David is famous for.

I wonder if we were to play Family Feud and ask the question “What was King David famous for?” – what the top answers might be.

I bet you can come up with some things right now.

Let’s try some of these:
Goliath.
Bathsheba.
Music.
Psalm 23.

I’m not sure what the number one answer might be (I’m guessing defeating Goliath), but scripture tells us that David was a man after God’s own heart.

Acts 13:22
…I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.

He wasn’t a perfect man, that’s for sure.
It wasn’t that he just sinned with the incidents that surround Bathsheba, but he sinned at other times as well. Yet he still was a man after God’s own heart.

In Psalm 41, penned by David, he writes a confession that his sin against God had wounded his own soul.

Sin inflicted a wound deeply in his soul that needed to be healed, but instead of pulling away from God, he drew near to the One he sinned against.

David cried out for God to not only have mercy, but to be merciful to him.
He made God’s mercy personal and He asked for God to heal his very soul.

What a beautiful pathway David showed us.
When we sin, call out to God for mercy and healing.

I wonder if you might need to pause today and ask our loving God for His mercy.

God, please forgive me.
God, please extend your mercy to me today and heal my soul – heal me deep within.

May we run to God and find mercy and healing in every time of need.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

Job 16:5
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.

Job had some amazing friends.

When they heard about what had happened to him, they made an appointment together to come and support their friend in the time of his loss and grief. When they arrived, seeing his grief was very great, the Bible tells us that they sat with him for seven days and seven nights, not daring to even utter a word.

These are amazing friends who wouldn’t let Job be alone in his suffering.

Their speechlessness didn’t last forever, and when they did speak, eventually their words took a turn for the worse. Instead of comfort, they spoke words of accusation, condemnation and blame.

At one point Job responds to them with today’s verse, essentially saying “If I were in your shoes, I would say things that are helpful, not hurtful”.

He reveals that we can bring strength to someone with our words.

If we speak carefully and mindfully, we can bolster them through whatever they are facing.

If we speak words of comfort instead of condemnation, they would experience relief.

There are people around us who are suffering in one way or another, or are touched with some form of sadness, sorrow or grief.

I’m hoping today that we can be careful with our words, meaning that our words will be ‘full-of-care’.

One of the most powerful resources we have is our words.
Let’s use them today to bring strength and comfort to others.

Following Jesus Together,

Pastor Barry

Join us This Sunday at Cornerstone Church as we gather together to worship Jesus.

He is worthy of all of our praise and worship.
He is worthy of all of our love and adoration.
As we often sing to Him, “You are worthy of it all!”

Join us as Ibukun and Victoria lead us in worship and Pastor Barry shares a message that he has been preaching for 40 years – the amazing story of Blind Bart receiving his sight!
It’s a wonderful account of the day the Son stood still.

We are so glad to have Kid’s Church and Nursery care for our children, so we hope you’ll bring them to church this week to learn more about Jesus and His wonderful love for them.

Every Sunday is a great time to get our church family together so plan now to make Cornerstone Church a part of your Sunday morning.

We look forward to worshipping with you at 10:30 am.

Remember pre-service prayer starts at 9:30 am in the board room and post service prayer starts… well… after the service; it’s why we call it post-service prayer 😊
Before and After - we serve a God Who answers prayer!

At Cornerstone Church: You are welcome. You are wanted. You are loved. You belong.

ALL THINGS

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Today we are reminded of a wonderfully hopeful and often challenging verse that is found in the book of Romans.

It is wonderfully hopeful because it reminds us that God is on the throne and that no matter what we go through, He is able to bring His redemptive touch to anything we face.

It is often challenging because it is usually shared with us while we are in the middle of the storm, or looking disappointment square in the face, or passing through deep sadness and sorrows.

Not all things are good.
There are so very many things in this fallen world that happen which are not good.

Not all things work together for good.
The world is just not set up that way. Heartache and heartbreak, sorrow and sadness, destruction, loss and even death – all these are a hard part of living on the planet.

Yet all things CAN and WILL work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.

Notice the difference?
Everything changes for those who love God.

For those who love God, He is able to shift our pain, sorrow, sufferings and confusion into something that will fit into His good and loving and sovereign plan.

Sometimes it can be really hard to see how He can do that.
Sometimes it can be really hard to believe that He will do that.

Yet be encouraged today – no matter what you face, He is working to bring His goodness to bear on your life.

And if you need a little Greek to settle it – here is what the word ALL means in the original language of the verse: “each, every, any, all, the whole, everyone, all things, everything”.

Perhaps try the verse this way:

And we know that all things – each and every one of them, any of them, all of them, the whole of them, everyone and everything - work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

It’s hard to express how thankful we are that YOU are a part of our church.
We love worshipping the Lord with YOU!
We hope YOU know that YOU are welcome, YOU are wanted, YOU are loved, and YOU belong here.

This week Ramon and Rho are leading us in worship and Pastor Barry is talking to us about the time Elijah discovered God’s Provision, God’s Presence, and God’s Purpose – and YOU can, too!

We are so thankful for Randy’s ministry as he brings food to share each week. He’s turned our parking into a place of provision. Even Joni Mitchell would be proud.

This week we also add Food Hampers for anyone who needs one – available following the service in the main office.

We’ve got food for the hungry – both spiritually and physically.

Thanks to everyone who contributes to our benevolence fund, to everyone who shops and prepares the hampers, to those who distribute them – and to the wonderful people who receive them. All of this is done in the love of Jesus.

We are looking forward to be able to open the Smile Shop once again in September.

Friday and Saturday are great, but we just can’t wait to see YOU at Cornerstone Church this Sunday at 10:30 am.

Let our church be filled to overflowing with the goodness of God!

Funerals or Parties?

Better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men; and the living will take it to heart. Ecclesiastes 7:2 NKJV

Here is this verse stated another way:

Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies— so the living should take this to heart. Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I don’t think the writer is actually suggesting that you have a look at today’s obituaries and see if there is a funeral you can drop in on.

In his quest for meaning, the writer of Ecclesiastes discovers many things that are futile and meaningless. Temporal things can only bring temporal happiness. Even in his instruction for us to ‘eat, drink and be merry’ he concludes with the reminder ‘for tomorrow we die’.

Often the book has some very discouraging things to say but he will eventually bring us around to remember the things which are truly important.

This life is temporary.
Just like Ecclesiastes states, we would do very well to remember this.

We don’t have to live with a sense of sorrow over this truth, instead Colossians instructs us that we need to simply set our hearts and minds and affections on things above, not beneath.

Let’s not live like this life is forever.
Let’s live with eternity in our hearts and minds as we eagerly look forward to His appearing.

Colossians 3:1–4
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

He’s coming soon. Keep looking up.

Join us This Sunday at Cornerstone Church for another great Sunday together!

Lisa is leading us in worship and Pastor Barry is concluding the series on “Loving God With Everything, In Every Place, At All Times.”

There are a lot of things you can do in the summer, but one of the very best is to spend an unrushed Sunday morning with your church family.

It’s been exciting to hear testimonies of how God is answering prayer – so if you are part of our family and have good news of an answered prayer – come ready to share and publicly thank the Lord. We are ready to celebrate with you!

We look forward to worshipping the Lord with you this Sunday at 10:30 am.
