If there's one thing we don't like to hear, it's no. We want what we want, when we want it, and we expect God to agree with us. Yet we know that we can't always get what we want. How do we handle such moments? Do we sulk, or throw a fit, or plead with God? Or have we learned the good news that blessings come from such moments?
When God says no, there are always good reasons why. Join us Sunday as we focus on the blessings of no. It might help you to accept that answer and work with the Holy Spirit to receive your blessing. I hope to see you at 10:45am. You belong at Cornerstone.

Sunday we celebrate Pentecost and the birth of the church. Before Jesus ascended back to heaven he gave the disciples a massive task - to go into all the world and preach the good news of the gospel. Jesus instructed the disciples to go back to Jerusalem and wait for a very special gift, a gift of power to do what they were commissioned to do. It was the gift of the Holy Spirit poured out on people in a new way.
What did they do as they waited on the Holy Spirit? What can Cornerstone do as she waits on pastoral leadership to arrive? Join us Sunday for empowering, Spirit filled worship. Come ready to receive a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit. As is the custom of some on Pentecost Sunday, you may want to wear something red. Come and be encouraged as you wait upon God.

It's hard to know which came first, my name or my mission, but my name fits how I have spent my life. Years ago I devoted much time to choosing my son's name. Names are significant, especially God's. The Bible shares many names for God and if I had to choose just one, it would be I AM. That says it all, but what does it really mean?
Join us Sunday as we examine I AM. And since it's Mother's Day, I will also share some of feminine images of God from the Bible. God is certainly not bound by gender, especially one gender. The many names we use help us understand the mystery of God more. Come with an open heart and mind.
We'll also be blessed to share in the christening of a precious child this Sunday. Come and share in the joy.....and invite someone to join you.
