The Blessing of Things Going Wrong
You’ve made all your plans. Everything’s prepared. You double-checked and triple-checked. You committed it all to prayer. You’ve made every effort. Despite all the preparation, something goes wrong. The computer crashes and you lose all your data. Your guest speaker suddenly can’t come. The kids fall terribly ill. All of a sudden, your well-made plans are scuttled and you’re left wondering what on earth went wrong.
At this point, you can consider a couple of responses. God forbid but some blame their bad luck. The most natural response, in my opinion, is to point the finger squarely at someone else and, trust me, there’s always someone close enough to the matter to be blamed. Or, attribute the matter to spiritual warfare. The worst of all is to back away from ever attempting something quite as audacious.

Services This Weekend
Title: The Undisciplined Pursuit of MORE
Date: 16 March 2019
Venue I Time: Cornerstone Katong 5pm
Speaker: Ps. Yang Tuck Yoong
There’s a dark side to success, and if we’re not careful, it can lure us into a false mindset that says, ‘I can do anything’. When Paul said, “I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me”, he wasn’t trying to say he was a superman. He knew his limitations. What Paul was really saying was, everything the Lord had commissioned to do, he could do because Christ strengthens him. How much is enough?

Title: The One God Strongly Supports
Date: 17 March 2019
Venue I Time: Cornerstone Bugis @ Raffles City Convention Centre, Level 4 Collyer Ballroom 10am
Speaker: Dr. Tan Seow Hon
We’re so often caught up with the idea of being ‘successful’, when we should instead seek to be someone God strongly supports. Is success to be equated with God’s strong support? 2 Chronicles 16:9a says that God strongly supports those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. What should we be watchful about as we live in a world besotted with ‘successful’ people? What can we expect from God as we give our hearts completely to Him?
*Change of Service Venue This Sunday: Do note the change of service venue this Sunday for our Cornerstone Bugis services. There’ll only be a 10am service at the Raffles City Convention Centre, Level 4 Collyer Ballroom.
Title: The Esther Decree
Date: 16 March 2019
Venue I Time: Cornerstone Katong 1.30pm
Speaker: Ps. Sharon Chong
The book of Esther is a blueprint for what God is accomplishing in our generation. God is looking for every heroic Esther who’d dare to be anointed with myrrh and stand up prayerfully against the Haman-like spirit in our generation. Who knows if you’ve come to the Kingdom for such a time as this? Whenever you’re in the beauty process — in the bitter myrrh or in the sweet-smelling perfumes, Christ’s ultimate desire is to make you a glorious Bride like Esther whom He displays to the world in your generation. This is your moment to shine!
