Attraction v Promotion

Underlying issues
We talk about easily seen issues, but we don’t talk about the underlying factors. Who are we? Where did we come from?

Five Points
We have a purpose (individually and corporately)
We have a purpose to love God and join Him
We accomplish this purpose better together
We will find satisfaction while working toward our purpose
We have no promise of tomorrow

Winning/Building/Equipping: We need to bring people to Christ, build our body, and equip people to be ambassadors of Christ.

Do the three C’s work better? Communion/Community/Co-Creativity: Come together and realize that this is not an individual task. Understand that God is still active and has a purpose for us and this world.

“Cornerstone isn’t here for Cornerstone’s sake”

“Why send a doctor to a healthy person—it’s about Him and His Kingdom.” We should be reaching out to the people who need and are ready to know Christ.

“Are we equipping people to go ‘out there?’”

‘It’ is about the other six days—think Nascar...Sunday morning is the pits.

“What does it look like to be an ambassador of Christ? How do you reach a group of people who haven’t heard of Christ...who do not know Him?” Should we focus on the Sermon on the Mount and learn how to answer these questions...how to be Christ-like? Live 1 John 2:6

Should we look at the idea of Christian sponsors? “Every man needs a Barnabas and a Timothy.” (Read Timothy 2:2).
