Our new look website

Welcome to our new look website! If you’re interested in knowing the changes or may be a little lost, here’s everything you’ll want to know.

1. Everything is pretty much where it was

We haven’t changed much in terms of where things are – we’ve added a few more options to the menu that make it easier to navigate, but the messages and resources and the things most people regularly use are located in the same place. So don’t worry, it’s all there 🙂

2. It works better across devices

The new theme works better on smartphones and tablet devices than the previous theme. For the geeks out there, it’s now a ‘responsive’ design. It also just looks nicer and we can do more cool things with it.

3. The ‘I’m New’ page is new

We’ve updated how the I’m New page works – it now provides five easy steps, with links, for people who are new to Cornerstone to get to know who we are and get involved.

4. You can now search for Cornerstone sites by area

The new Sites page makes finding a site in your area easier and quicker and is going to work great as new sites get added.

5. Resources will grow

With the new theme and coding available to us, organising the resources and messages is going to be easier and better – meaning that in the weeks to come you will be able to search by topic and other methods, and also download some song recordings. So keep coming back to see the new changes and resources going up! This is going to be an area we’ll be building a great deal as we go forward.

We’re excited about making the website a better tool for the Gospel in Johannesburg and helping guys to find us easily and get involved!

The Exchange (4 April)

The Exchange on 4 April

Faithfulness

At our next exchange meeting we will look at the sixth letter to the churches in the book of Revelation, the letter to the church in Philadelphia. It was a church, seemingly weak in power, in the face of great persecution, yet faithfully enduring and committed to the Word of God and gripped by the character of Jesus. We will look at the opportunities they were awarded to serve Jesus and His promised protection they enjoyed.

INTRODUCTION

We can’t talk about the twelve disciples without looking at the life of John in detail. Although we looked at him earlier along with his brother James, we need to also look at him specifically. Remember, the point of this series is to bring back a clear understanding of discipleship and how Jesus did it. As we come to Jesus, some of us have run into dead ends, but we’re given the Gospels in particular to go back and check and see what Jesus intended and find answers to the question of why he called us.
