The goal according to the Scriptures for every Believer is to become a minister. “... for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry ...” (Ephesians 4:12). The church grows and the world around you is helped simply by you stepping out in faith and giving to others what you have found! Jesus said, “Freely you have received, freely give.”
As you grown in your relationship with the Lord, you will understand that you are to imitate Him in how you live your life. One of the most revolutionary examples He gave us is becoming a servant to others. It is in serving that you can find true fulfillment in life. Cornerstone Church is designed to offer many opportunities to find your place of service in the Kingdom of God. The Body of Christ benefits from your investment and you benefit most of all.

The most important step you will ever take in life is to receive Jesus as your personal Savior. He has made the way wide open into God’s very presence and has issued an unqualified invitation. You can now have a personal relationship with the God of all creation through Jesus Christ. Once you receive Him, you become His family. He becomes your Father in Heaven. You can know Him more intimately than you know your closest friend. Your being a part of the local Church was designed by Jesus Himself to help you move toward a powerful and personal relationship with God.

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, we see that there are two realms that exist. There is the physical natural realm that is visible and there is the spiritual realm that is invisible. As Christians, we need to understand the reality of both realms and how to navigate them for our advantage.
James, Peter and Paul all wrote to the Church to be uncontaminated from the world.
This is a call to action for the Church then and a call to action for the Church now.
God has a mechanism in place whereby we might be insulated (saved, delivered from) the corrupting influence of the world. That mechanism is your sanctification. We came into this walk with God by saving grace. We now continue in that walk with God through His sanctifying grace. God will give us power through His grace to keep us from being contaminated by the things of the world.

Every 50 year's the people of God had all debt cancelled, everything that had been lost was restored. They didn't do anything to receive God's supernatural provision. He made their fields produce a harvest of abundance when they hadn't tilled or sown.

There has been widely believed in the church that woman are forbidden to teach. This belief is based on the misunderstanding of some of Paul's writings. Without question, on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit fell upon women and men alike, gifting them equally for ministry.
When Scriptures seem to contradict, it is necessary to dig a little deeper to find the truth.
In this series, Dr. Barry Burns carefully examines Paul's controversial instructions in the light of other Scriptures to give a full explanation of why women are NOT forbidden to teach in the church. In fact, the refreshing realities of numerous women ministers in the New Testament are clearly revealed!

“Most Christians believe God’s Grace makes the sinner righteous. But they do not believe God’s Grace makes the Christian righteous - as if we are led to the Cross, then left on our own to figure it out.” ~ Pastor Ann, It’s All Jesus
What Jesus came to do was earth shattering and game changing. He fulfilled the law. He did not add to the law. This New Covenant of Grace replaced the Old Covenant of works. Reconciliation was made between God and man.
