Seeking Him--Week 4

If you want to learn more about the study, you can go here to read about it. We are fervently praying for personal revival...to be restored to a right relationship with our LORD.


This Monday evening we will be studying Lesson 4--"Repentance: The Big Turnaround."
 
We have a LOT to get through in the hour that we will be meeting, so please make every effort to be on time We will start at 7PM sharp. Will it help to have done your homework prior to class? Yes, but it is never a complete necessity. You will get the most out of the study by doing your homework, but we know that God's Word will not return void, and as long as we're studying His Word & our hearts are in the right place, we WILL get something out of it. So, come, even if you didn't get the week's lessons done.

Childcare is available (but we do ask for donations). Please leave a comment here or call the church office at 972-712-4000 if you need childcare THIS Monday night. We need to know by noon on Monday so that we will have enough childcare providers available.

See you Monday night...if not before!!

SMT Verse #12

Guess what?? With today's verse, we are halfway through our goal of memorizing 24 verses in a year!!!  I am so proud of you ladies for sticking with this.  And don't worry, if you've fallen behind in your verses or haven't joined us yet, there's no reason you can't start today!!

I'm going to work on refreshing and polishing my previous 11 verses as well as focus on Hosea 10:12 to wrap up September.  This new verse is key in our Fall Bible Study called 'Seeking Him' by Nancy Leigh DeMoss.  You can go here to read more about the study.  We would love to have you join us!! 

Anyway, I've chosen this verse because it is the cry of my heart during this season of my life.

"Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until He comes and showers righteousness on you."
Hosea 10:12 (NIV)

My prayer is for my Savior to break up the fallow ground of my hardened heart....to break up the sin I cling to--my pride, my fear, my selfishness, and oh so much more...so that He can plant in me a love and desire for His will.  I pray that this will be my cry not just for this season of my life but all the seasons of my life...until He comes and showers righteousness on me.

Come quickly LORD Jesus...until then fill me with the desire to seek You.  Be my Comforter and Healer through the breaking of my hardened heart.  From the broken pieces, create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me (Psalm 51:10)

Now it is your turn to let us know what verse you will be committing to memory this last half of September.  I look forward to seeing where God is leading each one of you.  If this is your first time joining our Scripture Memory Team, just click on "comment" below and type in the verse, reference and Bible version that you have chosen.  If you don't know what verse to memorize, feel free to choose one that someone else is memorizing.  You can also click on 'SMT' under the Labels section at the top right of this page.  There you will be able to see the verses that I have chosen as well as read the comments to see what the other ladies have chosen to memorize throughout this journey that we are on.  God promised us in Isaiah 55:11 that His Word will not return to Him empty, but will accomplish what He desires and achieve the purpose for which He sent it.  What a promise!!  And what a turn your life...and your view of your life...can take when you take Him at His Word and meditate on His Word!!

Praying for you, my sweet sisters!

Fall Bible Study--Seeking Him

"Are you tired of trying to be a good Christian? Are you overloaded and worn out with church activities? Do you sometimes feel as if you're just going through the motions of the Christian life? Do you often find yourself running on empty spiritually? Do you experience heaviness or shame more than joy and freedom in your Christian life? If you answered YES to any of these questions, then perhaps God is calling you to something deeper. Maybe you're ready to experience personal revival!"

This is the introduction written by Nancy Leigh DeMoss in the book we'll be studying from for this Fall's Ladies' Bible Study - "Seeking Him: Experiencing the Joy of Personal Revival." Please come join us!

Woman2Woman Mentoring Ministry

The Woman2Woman mentoring ministry at Cornerstone Church provides one-on-one mentor/mentee relationships designed to meet the spiritual and emotional needs of the women in our church providing the opportunity to establish relationships to fulfill the biblical model of women guiding other women in their Christian walk. Women are paired together in a six-month relationship where they may share their struggles, experiences, prayer, bible study, and fellowship with a goal of deepening their relationship with God and providing a safe environment for lives to be changed and hearts to be healed.

Saturday - September 18th - 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.

All Women are Welcome

Come and learn how as a mentor you can use your life experiences and walk with God to encourage and assist another woman!
or

Come and learn how as a mentee you can be encouraged and supported in your Christian walk by another Christian woman!

or

Come and learn both!

There is a new opportunity for the women of Cornerstone Church to experience the joys and blessings of encouraging each other in a woman to woman relationship.

SMT Verse #11

September is upon us, and I don't know about you, but I am longing for the cooler weather!  As we get back into the swing of things after a fun summer, I pray that each one of us will make our time with our Creator a priority.  One way to have His Word with you at all times is to have some of it memorized!  That is why we are committing to be a part of this team...a team that is working together to memorize two verses a month.  If you've struggled with this over the summer, jump back in.  Don't be discouraged!  If you haven't officially joined in with us, I encourage you to do so.  It really helps to know that your sisters are here to encourage you and hold you accountable. =)

I've chosen a passage from the book of Psalms this time around.  Sometimes I just need a reminder of who I am and Whose I am.

"In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be ashamed; in Your righteousness deliver me. Incline Your ear to me, rescue me quickly; be to me a rock of strength, a stronghold to save me.  For You are my rock and my fortress; for Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me."
Psalm 31:1-3 (NASB)


Now it's your turn to leave a comment with your chosen verse, reference and Bible version.  If you want to learn more about our Scripture Memory Team, you can leave a comment or go here to read more about it.
