Cornerstone Christian Church

May we all continue praying this same prayer today

Last week we covered the first three verses where we saw that God answers us in our distress, he protects us, sends us help and support, and he remembers our sacrifices and accepts our offerings when they are done with the right motives. Today, as we conclude our brief journey through Psalm 20, we'll see that God blesses and we trust. https://youtu.be/llrAH4vZ6m8

It's a new year, start it with a renewed heart!

LIFE WILL TEMPT YOU to become bitter and sometimes it will tempt you to become used and comfortable with your sin. Fight for a sound mind. Your bad habits canno...t change unless you intentionally decide to align your mind with Christ. Don't just go to Church. Be intentional with your spiritual life. Pursue Christ character and deny sin daily. #BackToChrist #ManifestingSalvation #ManifestingChristCharacter

REMEMBER THIS, the aim of the devil is to take you out of God's presence and torment you while you are on earth and after this life. - John 10:10 As you are in... Christ now, refuse to be out of God's presence or become lukewarm. Let your new thoughts and faith in Jesus align with your behaviour, intentions and character in Jesus' name. #BackToChrist #ManifestingSalvation

This little girl didn’t know it was a statue! She just wanted to help Jesus! Can I get an Amen?

MAKE A BOLD DECISION today to give God a worship that you never did before. This time, be in His presence and invoke the Holy Spirit of God upon your life like ...never before. This time, be intentional with your spiritual life like never before. Seek God's face and ask the fire of the Holy Spirit to burn in you like never before. Let Christ's power and character be highly manifested in your life in Jesus' name. #BackToChrist #IntentionalWorship #ManifestingChristCharacter

Here's the YouTube link for today's sermon. It can be easy to focus on our image. And to some degree we should be focused on how we come across; what kind of image we are presenting to people. And it's easy to have a poor self-image. But we can be focused too much on our physical image and not enough on our spiritual image. When we are too preoccupied with our appearance or physical defects we can prevent ourselves from accomplishing what God has gifted us to do. https://youtu.be/ftBgZ_nzP3I

LEAH - THE UNLOVABLE Unloved Leah (the first wife of Jacob) bore 4 sons....let’s take a look at how she named them and the story of her broken heart.... Reube...n - Hebrew meaning: Behold a son She named her first son Reuben (Behold a son) in hopes that Jacob would see his son, and then fall in love with her. He didn’t. Simeon - Hebrew meaning: He who hears She named her second son Simeon (He who hears) in hopes that Jacob would hear her heart cry and fall in love with her. He didn’t. Levi - Hebrew meaning: is joined to Him She named her third son Levi (Joined) in hopes that Jacob would see his third son and now want to be joined to her. He didn’t. Then the 4th, Judah - let Him be praised By the time Leah gave birth to her 4th son she had stopped seeking Jacobs love and approval. She rested in the love of God. She came to the end of herself. She finally understood- God was more than enough. She named him Judah (Praised) and she praised her God for this son! GOD God wanted Leah! HE HAD CHOSEN HER ALL ALONG! When we line up the names of her 4 sons it points directly to the coming of our Savior and King.... Behold, a son! He who hears, is joined to Him! Let Him be praised! You see, Jesus came from the lineage of the one who was unloved by the world. REJECTED LEAH = LOVED LEAH REJECTED LEAH = SEEN LEAH REJECTED LEAH = CALLED LEAH SUBMITTED LEAH = CHOSEN LEAH Leah was greatly loved and used by God. The word rejection appears 85 times throughout the books of the Bible. If you’re feeling rejected today, remember this: 1 Peter 2:4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious. Psalm 27:10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in. Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes Rejection from the world is GLORY in Gods eyes! Leah may have been rejected by the world, but she was never rejected by HER HEAVENLY FATHER! In fact... Leah was LOVED, CHOSEN AND CHERISHED BY GOD! COUNT IT ALL JOY! #CHOSEN

IF YOU HAD TO take a selfie of your inner man, how you think it would be? Is God pleased with your current spiritual image? Would it be empty or filled wit...h the presence of God? Would it be weak or well fed by the Word of God? Would it be covered by intentional sins or renewed by the Blood of Jesus? Would you look like Christ or like the devil? Examine your thoughts and desires 24/7. What are you desiring? What is predominant in your imagination? The Bible says that whenever God looks at us He doesn't see the physical body, but the inner man. - The thoughts that you manifest when you are alone, the person that you hide from people. Yes, that one, it is completely naked and exposed before the eyes of God. May your inner man manifest Christ character and holiness in Jesus' mighty name. #BackToChrist #ExamineYourInnerMan #ChristCharacterManifestation
