Unity Is Our Calling Card // This Is How We Change The World
Nothing worthwhile happens by accident—especially the most worthwhile thing: Helping people find the Father, a family, and a fulfilling future. Living each day with Kingdom-minded purpose takes intention and dedication. We must be clear about who we are and what we value if we wish to change the world. At Cornerstone, we know who we are. We rally behind our core values that give us clarity, purpose, and an identity.
This is how we change the world.
Jesus is our King, and everything we do flows out of that truth. It’s not about us. It’s about him. We’re here to make Jesus famous and be coworkers in helping the Lord’s Prayer come to fruition: “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.”
Long live the King.

Unity is Our Calling Card
We want to be known for what we are for,
not what we are against.
For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. Ephesians 2:14
We can model Jesus in this culture better now than ever.
The question is, do we WANT to?
That’s the difference between a Christian
and a Jesus-follower.
Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are. V.11
I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message.V.20
I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me. V.21
May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. V.23
He didn’t pray for what we pray for.

A New Command
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. John 13:34
We win or lose on how we love.
We must not let anything or anyone divide us.
Obey the one command.
Answer the prayer of the King.
This is how we change the world.
