Workers, Not Watchers // 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.

Our culture is obsessed with consuming.

Consuming products, consuming content, and even consuming church.

But church is not meant to be “consumed.” It’s meant for Contribution. Fulfilling God’s purpose only comes from working on the field, not watching from the sidelines.

Message Notes

Long Live the King
It’s not about us.
It’s about Him.
We’re here to make Jesus famous
and follow where he leads.

Unity is Our Calling Card
We want to be known for what we are for,
not what we are against.

Second-Mile Generosity
Our time, talent, and treasure
are cheerfully given to expand
the Kingdom of God and
to impact our communities.

14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead... 20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone. 
James 2:14-17, 20-24 NIV

Workers, Not Watchers
Fulfilling God‘s purpose in our lives
comes from working on the field,
not watching from the sidelines.
