Daniel's and Justin's Confirmation Testimonies (30 th November 2008)








It was a wonderfully joyous time for the family of God @north when we celebrated the confirmations of two of our youth, Justin and Dan.















These two young men have
demonstrated servant attitudes in their lives and have risen up in different areas of ministry, to serve the Lord, willingly, tirelessly and humbly; with much zeal and energy.


May God continue to grow them in Christ and may they endure hardship, persevere through trials and hard times and run the race till the day of Jesus' return. Please continue to pray for them and encourage them, as they continue to pray for us, and encourage us.








Please find attached videos of their testimonies below

Dedication and Infant Baptism (30th November 2008)

Elyssa was dedicated to the Lord last Sunday by her parents, Jason and Ethel.
They dedicated her with the prayer that she will grow up in the grace and knowlege of God, under their guidance and teaching and in God's grace, come to a saving knowlege of God, when she is old enough to understand.


Children are wonderful gifts and blessings from God, and parents are to take their responsibility as their spiritual leaders and guardians seriously.
Emulating for their children, the example of Jesus; by word and deed.









Jonah was presented for water baptism
, as a sign that God's covenant with His people is extended to their families and extended families.



Malcolm and Belinda, therefore stepped forward, offering their son in baptism. In faith, they believe that God would deal with their son Jonah, in like manner, as God has with them, within the fellowship of His covenant love and grace.

Likewise, Malcolm and Belinda are to teach and instruct their children in the ways of the Lord and to live out their faith in God, before their children as godly examples.

May we, as the family of God pray, teach, support, instruct, and love them in the Lord, as they grow together with us in His kingdom.

A recent children's talk on "gossip"



A timely reminder to both kids and adults of the destructive dangers of gossipping.





" A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret"
(Proverbs 16:28)

"..The tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small sparkThe tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire..." (James 3: 5-6)

Little "glimpses" of community life













Once a month, we get together, young and old; to fellowship over lunch...



"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship to the breaking of bread and to prayer...." (Acts 2:42)










"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another- and all the more...as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:25)









What joy there is, to share together in the community of believers, in love and fellowship

Testimony and Baptism Videos of Richard and Sunny




Baptisms of Sunny & Richard (12th October 2008)






What a wonderfully joyous and momentous occasion it was, when two of our International Students, stepped out in public declaration of their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour
!










Oh, what joy it is, for us who share in their lives and their
journeys from unbelief and spiritual ignorance to belief, and spiritual knowledge of the truth of God's grace and
mercy




It was a deeply moving service and many tears were shed as the Holy Spirit moved amongst us








"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12)













It was such a wonderful testimony of love and unity in the Spirit, as the body of Christ at Cornerstone, got up to welcome our dear sister and brother into the family of Jesus.













We thank and praise God for His faithfulness, and for the wonderful work He has begun to do in the lives of Sunny and Richard.


















We know that God will complete the transforming work of sanctification in these precious lives, when He comes again... for His glory and praise!!

























" I keep asking that the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe" (Ephesians 1: 17-19a)
