Living by Faith

My great grandfather used to sing a song titled "Living by Faith". As I was singing it the other day I was reminded of just how much of my theology comes from the songs I learned as a child. It made me stop and give thanks for my ancestors and the foundation of faith they passed down to me. If there is one thing I am good at, it's that I have learned to live by faith. I want to pass that foundation on to you as well.

Over the next six weeks we will be sharing in a new sermon series called "Daring Faith". This Sunday we will begin by looking at what faith is (and is not), and what happens when you live a life of faith. I want to encourage you to make attending church a priority over the next six weeks. If you do so, I believe your faith will be greater and stronger than ever before.

To help in this time of stretching and growing your faith, we are offering a six week small group experience. Groups are meeting in Mobile and we even have one in Mississippi and Pensacola for those who commute to Cornerstone. If you haven't signed up for a group please do so this Sunday as they will begin meeting next week.

I will be returning from vacation and look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday. It's great to get away, but it's even greater to return home. Thanks to everyone who has been covering for me, especially our Student Clergy, Lisa Kelson and Sara Sills. Cornerstone is so blessed! Come and rejoice with us Sunday at 10:45am. Invite someone to join you at church and in your small group. It could be one of the greatest things you do for them.

Rev Sandy, Pastor
