Weekly Bulletin - April 9th

Cornerstone Church,

1 John 1:1-3 "¹That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life-- ²  the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- ³that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ."

The world seems to be filled with claims of truth by numerous people and agendas which are often hard to discern. However, every once in a while someone comes forward with a truth claim that is so verifiable that it literally demands a thorough examination. Such is the claim by John the Beloved, a Disciple of Jesus. More than anyone alive at the time of this letter, (90 AD) John knew the claims made about Jesus and wrote to establish truth before leaving the scene.
John pushed back against *Docetism, *Gnosticism, and *Antinomianism, emphasizing the incarnate deity of Jesus, the importance of moral living, and the centrality of love in the life of a believer.

Let’s live in love this week, just like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Continue to enjoy the songs we sang on Sunday as you spend time with the Lord throughout the week.

He is risen! Praise the Lord, Jesus did not stay in that tomb! He rose again and conquered sin and death. So what does that mean for us? It means EVERYTHING has been changed. We don't question who the Savior is or will be. We don't wonder how we'll be set free. We don't question what the purpose of all of this is.

Jesus was not just a man. He was not just a rebel. He IS redeemer. He IS Messiah. He IS the Great I AM.

This means we know the truth that we serve the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. It means we can live a life confident that we don't have to be slaves to sin and temptation. We can be confident that Jesus changes us and resurrects us, right now spiritually and one day physically.

If you are a follower of Christ, then we encourage you to be bold in your witness. Share the Good News of the Gospel with those around you. Don't stop telling people about Jesus just because there isn't an Easter service to invite them to until next year. Spend time with people, create relationships, and share Christ with them.

He is risen. Spread the Good News. He is coming soon.

This is the perfect event for newcomers to meet our staff, hear what we believe, and enjoy some dinner with other new attenders. 

Every Wednesday at 6:30pm, we have AWANA. This is an amazing place for your kids to memorize scripture and learn more about God on their level, as well as play some fun games and make friends! 

Youth Group is a great place for students from 6th-12th grade to plug in. Every Wednesday we have games, worship, and most importantly we dive into scripture. If you or your student are interested, join us this Wednesday, April 12th, where we'll be talking about Biblical friendship.

Join us every Tuesday for a time of fellowship and worship as we study God's Word. This is a great place for those who are 18-30 years old, and are looking for Biblical community among their peers. We hope to see you there!
