Cornerstone Living

One who is truly on the Cornerstone, Jesus, will grow in how they live their everyday life. But God calls us to join in what He is doing in our own lives and in our family. Below are bullet points that sum up what the bible says about living our everyday life on the Cornerstone…

• Foster a personal relationship with God through His Word (the bible), prayer and being led by the Spirit. We want this relationship to permeate each person’s individual and family life.
• Foster spiritual, emotional and relational healing and growth.
• Foster joyful obedience to God in our everyday lives.
• Encourage and equip married couples to have marriages that reflect Christ and the church.
• Encourage and equip parents to parent with God’s wisdom and love.
• Encourage single people as they live out their faith.
• Model gospel living for our children and young people, and encourage and equip them to live out the gospel in their everyday lives.
