Would you join with me in prayer, please? Lord, we come before you confessing our ignorance. We come before you confessing that Lord, we, we are a needy people. We come before You, Lord, fully aware of the fact that apart from your grace, We would have no hope.
Apart from the gospel, we would not have the right to come before your throne of grace to beseech you for help in our time of need. Lord, as we put a close on the year 2012 and as we enter into the year 2013, I pray, Lord, that what is about to be shared would serve as a heartbeat of sorts for us as a church, that as we enter into the next year, we would be a people who would rejoice in the Lord. Father God, be with us. We pray that you would grant to us a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the true knowledge of Christ, that you would strengthen us with power by your spirit and our inner man.
Show us your glory. I am a cracked vessel. I pray that you would fill these cracks and see fit, Lord, to bestow your love upon your people, as you so faithfully do. We ask these things in Jesus' name.
Amen. I've been a member here at Cornerstone for about 20 years now. I've been here then for the most part, ever since I've been a believer, I did take a 2.5 year sabbatical, however, and I transitioned to the island of Guam and I lived on the island of Guam for 2.5 years and I was received into a church there that is known as Agana Heights General Baptist Church. I have many fond memories of this church....
