Next Meeting - April 8th Cornerstone Davenport

I am super blessed to be able to host this month's Fellowship Meeting at Cornerstone Church in Davenport.  Come early for refreshments and fellowship if you are nearby, otherwise we will begin at 10 a.m.  Our first speaker will be Dr. David Anderson from Faith Baptist Church in Sarasota.  Dave will be speaking on doctrinal integrity in a digital age.  With the vast resources at our fingertips, how do we source solid Bible teachers?  This will be a great topic for all of us who seek resources for preaching each week.  Our second speaker is Greg Peters of Parkview Church in Palm Coast.  Greg will be preaching from the book of Ezra on the tension between the sovereign moves of God and the reality of human push-back.  We will wrap up the meeting with a catered lunch by Chick-fil-a.  We are looking forward to a great day, we hope you will be able to join us!


In Christ,
Joel L. Johns, Pastor
Cornerstone Church

Guest Post: Pastor Dan Jeffers - Park Street Baptist Church

This past week our kids went to youth camp.  We had four saved from our group.  60 overall.  Of course the kids came back pumped.  I wish we could have a camp atmosphere every Sunday.  We have been going through the book of Revelation but Sunday a message on the 7 bowl judgments and the great harlot just didn't seem appropriate.  So I deviated from that and pulled up I Cor 10:31.  Here is the basics of the message:  


 First Corinthians 10:31  “Whether therefore ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”  I find this to be a powerful verse.  The context of the verse was more than about eating a meal but it had everything to do with becoming a stumbling block to a weaker Christian by eating meat that had been offered to Idols.  There were some who had come out of idolatry who would be offended if a fellow believer did so.  So Paul addresses the issue and boils everything down to one thing that should determine everything we do and that is “honor and glorify God.” It is the filter that everything should through.   Does what I am about to say glorify God?  Is what I am about to watch going to glorify God?  When I come to church I come to give God glory.  It is not about me but all about Him.  4 things that glorify God:  Salvation  Psa 21:5       service  Mat 5:16    Sacrifice  Phil 4:19  (context of passage is an offering given for Paul's ministy)  Sickness  John 11:4  

If any of you guys have a good outline or message please post it on our Facebook.  If I steal it I will give you credit.
