Cornerstone’s Vision Because someone needs to know the good news (Gospel) of Jesus today (Mt. 24:14)

From Our Neighbors & To The Nations “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Mt 24:14 Jesus gave us a vision to His church to make sure the gospel went to the entire world – neighbors and nations   Went to over 30,000 of our neighbors and two unreached people groups this past year Let’s use that as our worship this morning – [video]

Cornerstone’s Mission Making Jesus the center of everyday life (Mt. 28:19)

Cornerstone’s Leaders A distinct role in the body to accomplish the vision & mission (1 Cor 12:28)

Pastor / “EQUIPPER” It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up (Eph 4:11-13)

Elder / “OVERSEER” “Since an overseer is entrusted with God’s work . . . Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, . . . 9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it” (Tit 1:7-9)

Director / “STEWARD” “And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration” 1 Co 12:28

Deacon / “CONNECTOR” “their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables.” (Ac 6:1-2)

Ministry Coach / “DISCIPLER” “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.” (2 Ti 2:2)

SG Leader / “ENCOURAGER” “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another.” (Heb 10:24-25)
