Send us Fan MailEver faced an obstacle that towered over you, threatening your faith and hope? Buckle up, because we're exploring how to press on, no matter the trials that come your way. Taking cues from my own life story; a leap of faith when I moved to Santa Barbara without a dime, and myriad of experiences with Paul and Barnabas in the Bible, we’re about to discover how to traverse life’s hardest terrains without losing sight of God's plan.The journey isn't for the faint-hearted. But just like Paul and Barnabas, who navigated through tumultuous miracles, conflicts and formed new partnerships, we too can stand firm amid adversity. Their unyielding faith is a testament to never giving up on God's call. We also spotlight the relationship between Paul and Timothy, diving into the necessity of investing in the next generation and passing on wisdom. We go a step further, reviewing Paul's encounter with Thessalonians, putting an emphasis on listening to God's guidance, even amidst confusion.We wrap up with an encouraging message about engaging with culture and sharing the Gospel. Inspired by Paul's speech to the Athenians in Acts 17, we underscore the importance of expressing faith even in the most challenging circumstances. We ponder on the symbol of the cross, and its profound significance for Christ followers. As we conclude, we pray for empowerment and strength to spread His love to those around us, all in the name of Jesus Christ. You are not alone on this journey, let's navigate these trying times together, let's keep on trucking!CCC Social linksCornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.orgCornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-...Life Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-gr...Giving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.co...Church Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-ch...Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...----Instagram   cornerstoneaz  Facebook  cornerstoneaz.org  Twitter  cornerstoneaz.org
