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

Come help babysit so they can have a night to themselves - this is a great way to have some fun while serving the others in our congregation :)

An evite has been sent out from ACC Cornerstone so we can make sure we have a good big person to little person ratio. So get ready for a night of re-living our youth!

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)
