Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, they are confident and focused, standing up to the worst the streets have to offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God … and to their children? Protecting the streets is second nature. Raising their children in a God-honouring way? That’s courageous.
Join us at Central, bring friends and some food for a screening of this film from the makers of Fireproof.

No Charge
Last night at Central Cornerstone we celebrated God’s design for church leadership – specifically, elders and pastoral leadership. The evening was filled with mixed emotions as we said goodbye to Ian and Bernie Weeden, who are off to Nelspruit to continue the call of God on their lives there, and Barry and Charlene Ward, with their two daughters Taryn and Robyn, as they head off to Durban North to plant a church. We also celebrated the inclusion of Waldo and Anika Kruger on the eldership team, who were ordained by Greig Garratt from NewDay who is also a part of Tyrone’s NCMI team.
What a wonderful eve. It was great hearing the solid testimony around these couples – how they have pushed forward in what God has for them, how they’ve been so faithful, how they’ve touched lives. While it’s sad seeing some of the guys go, this is what the call in God is about – the apostolic, going where God wants the Gospel and the Kingdom to go, and being available for wherever He wants to send us.
After the ordaining and the sending off of the Weeden’s and Wards, Craig and Shaun told us about the movie and music escapades of these two couples which was really funny. So awesome to celebrate in this way!
UPDATED:
On Friday night and Saturday morning this past weekend, the Cornerstone Elders connected with the Deacons, Leaders, Potential Leaders, Workers etc. of Cornerstone to “invision” us for the new year and chat about the prophetic season the Elders feel we are entering – a season of sailing in the “trade winds” of all God has for us!
The two key words for the time are “vision and strategy”, two works that are often misunderstood. In our context, what is meant by vision and strategy is that this is the best estimation of what God is saying to us now, and what some of the resulting implications are.
“We are called to dream wild and dream big!!! God’s dream for us needs to scare us, otherwise it’s not God’s dream but ours!” says the InVision pamphlet which was handed to the leaders.
The key passages and points spoken about over the weekend were :
The moving into the trade winds needs to be kicked off with prayer, which is why we are having a prayer and fasting weekend this coming weekend. It’s going to be a powerful time. Listen to Marcus’ “A Call to Prayer Sermon” preached last week for more on why we view prayer as important.
Works and Faith
A key word for our time together was the correlation between works and faith. Some of us have great works but little faith, some of us have great faith and little works. No need for us to feel guilty, but we need to ask God to help us where we are lacking.
Ultimately, faith comes from God and empowers us to perform good works. Some of us may feel we are in the doldrums or the roaring forties in our own lives and having faith right now is difficult for us. But it is God who is working in us and performing His will in us (Phil 2:13; Hebrews 13:20). If we lack faith, let’s ask God, who will give us all good things!
What’s important never changes
As we move into the future it’s great to hear how the elders feel about what never changes and what can change. The Gospel will never change and Cornerstone will always preach the Gospel, no matter what’s going on. While meeting times, methods of serving, logistics, events and such things can change; and while our evangelism strategies should change, as well as anything that breaks down or works against the apostolic calling of Cornerstone – the Gospel and the message of the Gospel that Cornerstone will preach, teach, sing, write about, talk about and live in will never change. Jesus Christ will always remain the same and be the centre of Cornerstone’s life.
