Set aside some time to witness 1-on-1 with the lost at the Zilker Trail of Lights.  It's an ideal setting for sharing the true meaning of Christmas and grasp God's heart for the world (nearly 90% of Austin is unchurched).  Our God is worthy of our love and obedience. 

For details and registration, see CEBC's website.  For any questions, contact Alex via email or phone (512.560.0583).

Building Community Over Socks, Support-Raising, and Snacks!

WHEN: Fri Dec 19th, 7:30pm

WHERE: ACC Carey Bldg

Need some help around the house? Or maybe a free home-cooked meal?

Then invite your friends and join us this Friday at our first-ever Socks and Services Auction! This will be a great chance to get to know each other over some friendly bidding and yummy Christmas snacks - all for a great cause (Mission Possible).

In order to "buy" a product or a service, you'll bid using pairs of socks. We're hoping to raise 400 PAIRS OF SOCKS for Mission Possible during this event, so get out that Costco card and buy some socks!! The more socks you bring, the more stuff you get to bid on!

An Evite has been sent out... if you haven't received it, please let us know!  ***If you'd like to auction off an item or service, please include the description in your RSVP (we've included some ideas in the Evite).*** Their small group has prepared a special presentation to go with it that you also won't want to miss!

Thank You - from the Austin Samaritans

If you recall, we helped out with the Austin Samaritans organization back in October... see what your help accomplished!

Hi Yall,

 

Thank you so much for your help this year at the medical warehouse. We are shipping out a container within the next 2 weeks. This wouldn't be possible with you and your organization's help. We hope to make another shipment soon as the year 2009 approaches. Please feel free to email me if your group would like to help out again next year. The medical warehouse is already full of more supplies for schools and health clinics in Nicaragua. I am currently working on arranging volunteer groups to help out on Saturdays in Janurary and February. Just email me some dates when your group would like to help out again.  

 

Thanks again and Happy Holidays.

 

Best wishes,

               Emily Hsu

               Volunteer Coordinator

If you're interested in participating, PLEASE let Janel know since they need a head count for preparation purposes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

As for this week, enjoy your time with your family and friends, and we'll see you next week!

Christians and Political Discourse

WHEN: Fri Nov 7th, 7:30pm

WHERE:  ACC Carey Bldg 

In light of the elections being at the forefront of the news, conversations with others, and fresh on our minds, Tina Tsuei will be speaking to us on what does the Bible have to say that can guide us when we make voting decisions to choose public officials--and how does our faith in Christ influence our views on policy options?  She will be talking about policy and politics in general, and will have a forum for different folks to share their thoughts and ideas and to wrestle with some questions that are very important for us to consider as American Christians.  

Keep in mind friends you can invite who would be interested in this topic that is relevant to all of us!  Munchies will be provided, so bring your own drink!

ACC Concert of Prayer

We feel that it's important for our fellowship to be pray together and seek God as part of the church congregation, not just as separate fellowships. An Evite has been sent out for this event--please let us know if you haven't received it. If you have any questions about this, please email Roger & Ilan.

Re-Defining Relationships

WHEN: Fri Sept 26th, 7:30pm
WHERE: ACC Carey Bldg

To be in Christian community is to be in relationships. God created us to be relational beings and so we desire and long to be in meaningful relationships. Yet, some of our relationships just don't seem to "work". Could it be you? or the other person? or both? We'll take a step back and look at how we define our relationships and how that helps (or hinders) our community together.

Visiting pastor, Jack Lum, is excited to speak to us on "Re-Defining Relationships." We hope you can join us!

Cornerstone Social: Bowling!

Speaker Event: Jodi & Mike Chung

WHEN: Fri Aug 29th, 7:30 pm
WHERE: ACC Carey Bldg

This Friday, Jodi & Mike are coming from Houston just to share with us. We hope that if you're in town or have flexible plans this 3-day weekend, you'll take us up on this opportunity to welcome and glean pearls of wisdom from these out-of-town visitors!

Mike and Jodi Chung will be speaking on the topic of being surrendered to God and how that impacts our relationships, particularly between the different genders. This couple comes highly recommended from Priscilla, will be visiting us from Houston where they attend WHCC. Jodi heads up the children's ministry and Mike frequently speaks at neighboring churches. Mike and Jodi are a great example of waiting on God, and Geoff personally has been looking forward to hearing their insights.

Discussion Questions from their talk:

1) In what areas of your life do you need to surrender the most? Work, family, friends, etc?

2) What does it loook like to be surrendered in those areas?

3) What are some obstacles to leading a surrendered life?

4) Is surrender an active or passive thing? Or both? Explain.

5) What are some passages in Scripture can you cling to when struggling with surrender?

Cornerstone Welcome & Lunch with Quest
Sun Sept 7th, 12:15 pm

Quest, the college ministry, will be starting up and all those college kids will be in a new city away from their familiar surroundings. We really would like the college students who come to ACC be a part of the church community as a whole, and having Cornerstoners reach out to them will be a great start. We need help setting up, serving them lunch, mingling among them, and cleaning up... and why do we need YOUR help? There's probably gonna be 60+ of them! Please respond to this email if you can help. Thanks!

Practicing Community... at Rudy's!

WHEN: Friday, July 25, 2008 - 7:00 PM
WHERE: Rudy's (11570 Research Blvd.)

Next week we have lots of community service opportunities, so this week we'll take a break and enjoy food and fellowship at Rudy's (Duval/183). Take the opportunity this week to put into practice some of Walton's suggestions: look for ways to love and serve each other, and point each other to Christ.

Distinguishing Characteristics of Christian Community

WHEN: Friday, July 18, 2008 - 7:30 PM
WHERE: Lighthouse, Carey Building

Walton spoke (sorry for the late post!) about what distinguishes Christian community. If Christians are different from the world in that we have the Holy Spirit and are called to be salt and light, then our community should look different from the world. Yet, so often it seems like there is little tangible difference. So what should should the world see in us that is different? Walton has been contemplating this for the past month, so read on to hear his insight!

Introduction
We should come clean as who we are. Christians are not normal. We are still sinners, but at the end, we come as is. We are who we are and often when dealing with us, there will be failure and disappointment. This makes building a Christian community especially difficult. “Sometimes it is hard to find dynamic, but it shouldn’t be that hard.”

God’s Dream for Community
How do we foster a true Christian community in Cornerstone? Different people have different expectations or dream differently. Are those expectations the same as God’s? Dream mismatch between us and God can lead to unrealistic expectation. Even though the expectations can be “Christian” based, it may not come from God. There is so much potential and possibility for Cornerstone, but so many obstacles to keep us from forming a community.

Why is community important?
• It is at the core of who God is
o From the beginning, it begins with a community, the Trinity.
o After creating Adam, God created Eve to form a perfect community for Adam.
• It is who He designed us for
o American thinking is all about independence.
o “There is a human shape void in each of us and God wants it to be filled by community.”
• It is what God passionately longs for
o After Adam and Eve were banished from the garden, God continually seeks relationship with us.
o Gospel is about restoring relationship. It helps restore the gap between God & people. For us, it also helps bring Christians together (fellowship). It also helps bring Christians and non-Christians together (evangelism)
o God has his community (Trinity) in the beginning, but out of the over pouring love, he created us, so we can enjoy this community

Why is true community so hard to find?
• Lack of time is often an issue. The advancement of technology is supposed to help us work faster and more efficiently, but ironically, people are working harder than ever because they are forced to cram more tasks into this finite amount of time, hence the concept of multi-tasking.
• With so many things to do, there is less common bond between people. TV, movies, entertainments…etc have become an essential part of people’s lives.
• The advancement of technology, such as cell phone and email, supposed to improve our communication with each other. Ironically, it seems to have an opposite effect. People are less personal now. People would rather text or instant message than talking directly with each other.

Some Key Elements of True Community
• Unmasked
• Acceptance - We are often so focus on sins that we fail to recognize grace and the seriousness of it.
• Empathy
• Resolving conflicts
• Forgiveness
• Invitation to tell the truth
• Inclusion - Religious people try so hard to exclude those people, whom the society deems as the “sinners”, i.e. prostitutes, drug addicts, gangs…etc.
• Gratitude to God

Moving towards the Dream
A community should have:
• A real sense of purpose for meeting
• Everyone is bought into that purpose. Showing up to the meeting actually matters
• There’s an opportunity to serve and love someone every week.

Applications and Something to Think about
Think about your past friendships with other people and ask yourself:
• What have been the most satisfying elements about those friendships?
• How have those friendships drawn you closer to God (if at all)?

So How DO We Relate to Our Parents?

Bob Chin, on Friday, gave some great insights about how to relate to our parents. He challenged us to not consume relationships like our culture consumes goods and services: "Love is putting in, not taking out!" He also had some practical ideas about communicating with our parents. Although our parents tend to be unemotional and very private, we can help build deeper relationships by asking good questions about how our parents are or were feeling. ("What was it like living in China?" "What did you like about X?") Read on...

What influences our idea of relationships?

• Media, like TV: Simpsons, Hannah Montana, Everybody Love Raymond, etc.
• We want these kind of western, intimate relationships with parents, but our parents weren't born here, so integrating cultures

Our Asian parents are different, and thus, "Asian Christianty" is different, too. It's
• Logical/rational
• Unemotional
• Extremely closed about personal things
• What about Biblical Christianity:
• Logical/rational (Rom 13:8)
• Emotional - David danced (2 Sam 6:13-17)
• Not private, but relational (Rom 13:10)

What does the Bible say our relationship should be like?
• Ex 20:12 (honor our parents) Eph 6:2 (command with parents) - 1st of the relational commands, which means it is of high importance
• How we relate to our parents is how we relate to a significant other, friends, children
• The promise is, that if we relate well to parents it will go well-we relate the same way
• Transcends time and culture (in both OT and NT)

How does our environment affect our view and how we act toward our parents?
• We are a consumer society. We consume relationships, too. (Feel better, closer to God, etc) People expect to get something from people.
• Starbucks church model: people are consumers, so we built churches to provide a good product
• Consumption leads to disappointment
• Are we looking at our parents to consume?
* Love is putting, not taking out!
• If we can teach our kids to put in, rather than taking out, we have succeeded
• Relationships on the brink of divorce are when people don't think they are getting enough out of the relationship
• Show respect; give benefit of doubt, don't assume they don't know what they are talking about
• Have you spent the time to figure out your parents love language?

How can we communicate with our Asian parents?
• Ask questions. The key is asking good questions, which also causes them to talk and you to listen. Ask questions to draw them out "how do you feel about ..."
• Listen
• Watch your body language - parents know if you really care
• What goes around, comes around. Our kids will treat us like we treat our parents
• Christ has redeemed us and our relationships (Jam 1:22-24, Rom 8:22)
• Christ changes people NOT you
• Bob asks, is there a little child in my parents that is crying out?
• Bob's dad's dad died early, and he wishes he had a dad. This explains a lot of his relational aspects with wife, kids, etc. Bob's dad never related to him because he'd never seen his dad relate to him. Bob has difficulty with Pete because his dad didn't know how to relate to, but makes a point of spending time with him

Application
• How do you ask good questions? Need to learn to draw out how they *feel*. Expressing your feelings is an important part of depth of relationship.
• Seeing unpleasant aspects of seeing you are like your parents: remember Christ can redeem that
• What did you learn about relating to parents? Asking questions about them: what was it like living in China? What did you like about X? What was it like living with Grandma? What were your favorite foods? How did you handle mom? How do you love her?
• This is a lifetime process

Meeting the New Core Team

Kathy, Edward, and Judith are excited to be on the new core team this upcoming year. Our goal is to serve God and serve Cornerstone--we welcome any and all suggestions!

Let's see who they are...

Kathy is a newbie to Austin but a native to Texas. She teaches 2nd grade teacher for AISD and loves dogs, eating, and watching comedies. She was once a contender for a massive lychee-eating contest.

Edward was born in Taiwan and moved to Port Lavaca, TX when he was 10. He is a mechanical engineer. He loves playing tennis and eating ice cream.

Judith is an alumni of UT Austin with a degree in electrical engineering. She enjoys a good game of Tetris, trying out new things, and traveling. She started doing triathlons last year and will be attempting her third one this summer!

Relating to Our Parents and MORE

WHEN: Friday, July 11, 2008 - 7:30 PM
WHERE: Lighthouse, Carey Building

This Friday Bob Chin will be speaking to us on the topic of relating to our parents. What does a Christian parent-child relationship look like? What if your relationship with your parents isn't good, what can you do? Join us for Bob's insights, 7:30 pm at Lighthouse.

ALSO - We are pleased to announce the new Core Team: Edward, Judith, and Kathy will be leading Cornerstone this next year! Ti, Priscilla, and myself are really excited about the new Core Team, and are looking forward to see what God does through them! Please keep the Core Team in your prayers--it's a bit daunting at first. Plus, I (Geoff) have seen this year the truth of John 15:5: truly apart from God, we can do nothing to bring people to God, and leaders always need your prayers in this area.

Ti, Priscilla, and myself have enjoyed serving you all as leaders on the Core Team this year. It's been a privilege to organize events to bring us closer to God, and through it we've grown as leaders, been challenged in our walks with God, and grown in love for Cornerstone. It has been a joy and an honor to serve Cornerstone, and wish the same for the new Core Team. Please welcome Edward, Judith, Kathy!

Please pray for our brothers and sisters that are on missions trips this summer. We already have some that are on their trip currently, as well as Moses and Marilyn returned from New Orleans working with the ACC youth helping Katrina victims. Marie and Ti are in Southeast Asia with Campus Crusade working with college students. Coming up soon, Priscilla will leave July 8th - August 20th to work with Carpenter's Tools in Guatemala. Kathy , Edwin , Tim , Marilyn , Nita , and Geoff (in August) will be going to Bolivia with e3 partners to share the gospel there (July 17-25) . Our worship intern, Stanley , will be leaving in August to join CTI for fulltime ministry as well. If you know anyone else - please let us know. Please keep these brothers and sisters in your prayers as well as ACC as a whole - for Austin is our ministry field as well.

Fellowship and Praise Time

WHEN: Friday, June 20, 2008 - 7:39 PM

WHERE: Lighthouse Carey Building, ACC

Dear Cornerstone people. =) The ladies' small group (combined Annie's and Sharon/Marilyn/Pey's small groups) are inviting us to a time of fun surprise! as well as a time of praise for our Father in Heaven. =) Come this Friday to find out what we have in store for you.

ALSO - this Saturday, June 21, 2008 - Come see the musical - The Gospel Accordin' To Texas.

(A blurb from Chris Wang):
Hi y'all. You probably know by now that I'm involved with a musical in Wimberley. I'd like to invite you to come out to one (or more) performances.

The musical takes a look at what might have happened if the book of Luke was to take place in Texas. It has fun with (but doesn't make fun of) the gospel. It's a good outreach opportunity because it's still entertaining even if you don't go to church.

This Friday is opening weekend. Performances will be every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in June at 8:15pm. Tickets are $15 each or $12 for a group of 10 or more. Student tickets (for those in middle school or high school) are $8. If you want to see it multiple times, a show pass ($30) is the way to go.

The director got the inspiration to write the musical while living in Wimberley during the 80's and early 90's. Every character is based on someone he met during his time there. There are lots of little references to Texas towns, events and people.

The EmilyAnn Theatre is an outdoor amphitheater capable of seating up to 500. Unfortunately, they don't have any flyers this year, and the only thing I can find is at http://www.emilyann.org/pdf/gat_showflyer.pdf

Because it's a long show, we have to start at 8:15 even though it's still not dark yet. However, if we start any later, the show wouldn't end until after 11. Be aware that even when there's no traffic, Wimberley is still about an hour away from Austin (depending on where you live), which means you might not get home until midnight or so.

If you're interested - please let us know! We'll send out an update later on a time and place to meet up.

Saturday Plans

EDIT: We realized that we didn't really give you all too much time to preparefor the appreciation dinner on Sat, either for planning whether you wouldbe in town, or for input in planning the dinner itself. So we feel thatit would be better to do this at a later date.
Instead, we would like to invite all of you to Ti's house on Saturday at 7 pm for a potluck.In addition to dinner, we will have some community games,and a fun time of games and hanging out. We hope you can join us in enjoying each other's company!
Thank you!

Fellowship Time and Prayer Requests

WHEN: Friday, March 28, 2008, 7:30 PM

WHERE: Lighthouse Carey Building, ACC

This Friday, instead of a regular fellowship - we'll be meditating on God's Word together. God invites each of us to a vibrant, personal relationship with Him and He invites us to draw near to Him daily - spending time in the Bible to hear His direction for our lives, receive His correction, gain wisdom, and strengthen our faith. Please come as we share together and study His Word together. We also have some interesting FUN games (special EXCITING concert!) planned out for us as well =). Please bring your Bibles, journals and pens!

Please lift up these two fellow brothers in Christ - Pastor Gaylord and Brandon. Pastor Gaylord was in the hospital this past weekend due to a bleeding ulcer. Pray that he will heal quickly and safely and that his hemoglobin count goes back up. Please keep his family in your prayers as well.

Brandon just had surgery on his right hand due to an acute case of DeQuervain's tenosynovitis which is an inflammation of the tissue surrounding the tendons and the tendons themselves. If the surgery is successful then he will need to have surgery on his left hand as well. Please pray that this surgery will be successful as well as the future surgery. Pray that he will heal and the pain will leave him and he can use his hands again.

Evangelism Outreach

WHEN: Friday, March 7, 2008, 7:15 PM

WHERE: Lighthouse Carey Building, ACC

Dear brothers and sisters,

This Friday night, Cornerstone will be stepping out in faith to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people of Austin. 15% of Austin residents go to a church. It's hard to imagine that close to 9 out of 10 people here are spiritually lost, separated from God, and on the path to eternal judgment. Yet, Christ loved the world and laid down His life so that sinners could be brought into a relationship with the Father.

Christ commanded us to preach the gospel to all creation. Stepping out in faith is an expression of our love and obedience to our Savior, and God has used that to increase my faith and love for Him ("for to the one who has, more will be given" -Lk 8:18).

We will spend time in training and prayer, so no experience required! We will share the gospel using tracts and in 1-on-1 conversations with people. Come with a humble heart and a desire to serve our Lord and the lost. Please pray this week for God to prepare us and the people we will talk to. All of your are encouraged to serve with us.

Time: 7:15 - 10:45 PM
Place: Meet at ACC (Carey Building) for prayer and training. We will carpool to 6th Street.
Bring: Small Bible, coat with pockets, bottle of water

"If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it." (Mark 8:34-36)

In Christ,

Alex


PS - If you're still reading, I want to share something neat that came to mind as I was praying for this. I noticed how this outreach lines up with 3 of our upcoming vision statements!

1) Stepping out in faith helps us grow as disciples of Jesus Christ
2) Outreaches build godly commuinty as they have included people from the youth, college, adults, and even other ACC congregations. (the youth have a conference this weekend, though, so I don't want to take people out of that).
3) Sharing the gospel is the starting point for making disciples locally

Hope-It-Up Basketball Tournament

The ACC 3-3 Hoop-it-up fellowship basketball tournament will be Saturday, 3/29. We will again have an Open division and Mastor division. Deadline for registration will be 3/23. Please contact Troy Wong <etroywong@yahoo.com>; or Leo Yeung leoyeung@yahoo.com for registration information. See www.austinchinesechurch to download copy of the registration form. See attached word document for forms and more information.

Evangelism

EDIT: We want to thank Alice to helping out with worship and to Jason and TJ Poon who spoke to us about evangelism. They shared with us of some of the inhibitions of why we don't evangelize more often or what prevents us from sharing our stories with other people. A big issue is unbelief - "oh ye of little faith". Unbelief and fear are opposites of faith. Faith counters all and gives us the strength and courage to know that God is in charge and He is ultimately the one who leads people to Him. One very effective way of being a witness (btw, witnessing is not something we do, it's who we are) - is to share your own story with people. People love hearing stories so share it!

WHEN: Friday, February 29, 2008, 7:30 PM

WHERE: Lighthouse Carey Building, ACC

This week Jason Poon and his wife TJ will be speaking about
evangelism. We often feel ineffective at evangelism but what are we doing about it? How can we change that? (March 7 - next week - Alex will be leading us on an evangelism outreach on 6th street to put it into practice and really make it part of our lives.) Because we are a Chinese-American fellowship, how is our local missions field different from that of Caucasian
churches? Jason and TJ have recently joined Epic (Campus Crusade's
Asian-American branch) and have a special passion for minorities not normally
effectively reached by mainstream Caucasian churches. How can our love for our Lord and His extravagant sacrificial love enable us to be walking testimonies everywhere we go? Please join us this Friday to learn and know the importance of the task Jesus left us - to go preach His good news to all the nations baptizing them in His Name. (Matt 28:19).

Walking Testimony

WHEN: Friday, February 15, 2008, 7:30 PM

WHERE: Lighthouse Carey Building, ACC

This Friday, Nina Cheng-Lo is sharing with us her testimony of how she came to know the Lord and the journey she and God took. She's going to speak to us on His calling for her, listening to God, and what it means to be a walking testimony. Afterwards we'll be having a pizza making party as well to fellowship together at Ti Le's place (yum).

How to Be Rich

WHEN: Friday, February 8, 2008, 7:30 PM

WHERE: Lighthouse Carey Building, ACC

"Did you know that the topic of money is talked about more in the New Testament than Salvation? We spend our whole life trying to get rich. It is now time that we learn how to be

rich."

Houston's Simon Lee will be talking to us this Friday night about the topic of money and what it means to be rich. Please bring your Bible, pens, and notepads to Cornerstone on Friday. Since Faye will be staying in Houston, Simon needs to leave that night to go back to Houston. However, there will be another activity after Cstone.

EDIT: (Notes from Friday)

RICH PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE WITH OPTIONS.
(Some people really do not have any options. Take a missions trip to Africa or China and you'll really see the poverty firsthand. Participate and give your time and heart to an organization that you are really passionate about. Invest your heart and they'll invest their heart in you - long term committment to helping out an organization).

1 Timothy 6:17 - Paul talks about two things that we need to do:
1.) Repent of arrogance -
When we look at the poor - we judge them for what they don't have
When we look at the rich - we judge them for what they do have and what they do with it
We think that we know better... this is arrogance. Must repent and ask for forgiveness.
2.) Your hope in wealth
(best way to tell if you put your hope in wealth is to ask your parents or best friends honestly and humbly)
How to tell if you put money as your first priority in life?
a.) Does your lifestyel or debt impede your ability to live?
b.) Does fear of not having enough impede your giving? How much money is enough for you to be satisfied and comfortable?
c.) Which of these statements create most anxiety for you? There is NO God OR there is NO money in the bank?
d.) Do you have money in the bank but no peace in your hearts? Even if you dont' get a paychet, do you get your peace from God?

1 Timothy 6:18 - this is what Paul wants Timothy to tell rich people - "Command them to DO GOOD, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share... so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life."

Foundations are a great way to give your money and keep it for charity and help you be generous. (ask us for more information on this).

Your first fruits should be for God. Your choice foods should be there and not for yourself. HOW? Mark your calendars when the paycheck deposits and predetermine your giving and give to God first.

The amount to give, the amount to tithe should be an amount that God lays on your heart. It should reflect your own personal journey between you and God. Let's be a generation that gives lavishly.

Challenge: Giving hurts, when you give, it should hurt. if you're too comfortable about the amount you give, UP IT! It calls for faith and obedience in God.

Community Service led by "Peylin"'s Small group

WHEN: Friday, February 1, 2008, 6:45 PM

WHERE: Taylor Building (Gym), ACC

Want to help re-ignite the marriages of our ACC marrieds with kids? :) Eh..

Please let us know by 1/30 if you can make it. Also if you have not received an evite - let us know and we'll send you the evite.

Prayer and Worship Night

Friday, January 25, 2008, 7:30 PM, Lighthouse Carey Building, ACC

Annie Feng's Tuesday girls' small group is leading us in a time of prayer and worship this Friday.

In 1 Timothy 2:1, 3, Paul says, "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone... This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." Paul believed in the power of prayer so much that in verse 8 - he even writes,"I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing". Songs of worship are our very own prayers and words of praise and adoration to our God. Please come join us for this time of prayer and worship.

Afterwards, come to Ti's home to enjoy some games and comforting-perfect-for-the-season-homemade chili. 10:30pm, 12227 Antoinette Pl. 78727, 832-647-2293

Notes for 1/18/2008 - Knowing God

Detailed Notes of Speaker:

ACC's own Leslie Keng shared his personal stories with Cornerstone on how he came to know the Lord. In 1 Kings 17:7-16, Elijah assures a widow that the Lord will always provide for her with a never ending jar of flour and jug of oil, and in 2 Kings 4:8-37, the Lord saves a mother's dead son. Through these verses, Leslie spoke of times when your path in life is hardly ever what you envision it to be. Sometimes, God gives you a blessing and an open door (like the woman's son) and sometimes, you are faced with your biggest fear and need to make a decision. However, God's character never changes and can overcome any circumstance. Leslie challenged us when he asked "What is your dream? What is your greatest fear? If God takes away your dream and makes your greatest fear a reality, would you still desire God?".

Leslie Keng

• 1 Kings 17:7-16
• Elijah and the never ending jar of flour and oil for the widow
• 2 Kings 4:8-37
• God saves a woman's dead son
• What's your dream? What's your greatest fear?
• fear of failure like 1 Kings, fear of being insignificant, fear of death of loved ones like 2 Kings
• Veggietales founder Phil Vischer
• company went bankrupt
• new company called "Jellyfish" because jellyfish can only swim up and down (ourselves) but the current (God) actually moves them
• Leslie's story
• he and his wife had to make several financial and life changing decisions
• through prayer, God told them what to do even though it was risky
• God has always provided for Leslie and his family through tough times
• Microsoft Word
• most people only use about 20% of Microsoft Word's abilities
• maybe we're only using about 20% of what God wants for us (sanctification process)
• For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)
  

Knowing God

(After Fellowship fun at Andy and Maril's house - look how concentrated they are on rockband. =))

January 18th, 7:30 PM, ACC, Carey (Lighthouse) Building

Come listen as Leslie Keng shares what it means to really know God - beyond the facts to the relationship. Join us as we embark on this journey of loving our God.
