What series have we been learning about the past couple of months? Our Cornerstone _________.
Elements
Why are we learning about Elements? What are they? (Don't list examples of Elements, but tell me what they are.)
Our Cornerstone Elements are what make our church special!
What's one way you can glorify God with your creativity this week?
Art, music, Lego's, playdough, biking, cooking, etc.
What is one way we can Encounter God?
Pray, worship, create, go out in nature, have conversations with friends, exercise. etc.. You name it!
What is Encounter?
Encounter means to meet or to hang out with God. At Cornerstone, we LOVE spending time with God and think it's very important in learning about the rest of the Elements.
What is Creativity?
God is the ultimate creator and gave us a piece of Him to be in His likeness. All of our creativity is meant to glorify Him.
Name three ways you can Encounter God.
Pray, worship, read bible, nature walk, create, thank, etc.
Name three people in your community (friends, family, trusted adults, etc.).
Answers will vary.
What is Transformation?
God can change our hearts from being "all about me" to "all about God." When He does that, we bring God's kingdom to earth in a bigger way!
What is Generosity?
Generosity means to give. We can be giving with our money, time, kindness, toys, etc.
How can we be generous like God is generous?
Explain examples of being generous with your time, thoughts, money, toys, games, etc.
Who is someone in God's story that had a transformation in their life?
Saul/Paul, The Prodigal Son, Jonah, David, Nicodemus, Moses, etc.. Anyone else?
What is Vocation?
Vocation is a big word for work. Our job is to be a kid! God is teaching me lessons and preparing me for tomorrow/next year/adulthood.
What is Generations?
Generations means a group of people who are the same age. We as a kid group are in the same generation, but our teachers are in an older generation. God calls us to teach younger people about His kingdom!
Why did God create Generations? What's the purpose?
God gave us Generations so that we aren't alone. People in older generations pour into us and we pour into younger generations. The Big God Story gets passed down from generation to generation! That's why we get to hear about it today!
How can you bring God's kingdom to your vocation (your life as a kid/student)?
Answers may vary.
What is Confluence?
(Two rivers coming together) - God has this BIG story that started a LONG time ago and continues today! Our church honors the traditions in the Old Testament AND New Testament (old and recent tradition).
What does Culture have to do with our life?
Jackie Robinson - God want us to bring His kingdom into our everyday life. We can bring God's goodness/kindness/selflessness/etc. to our communities.
How is culture a verb/something we can do?
Bringing God's kingdom to earth requires action! Any ideas?
Name two celebrations that Cornerstone honors under the element Confluence?
Sukkot, Passover, Purim, Hannukah, Rosh Hashanah, Christmas, Advent, Easter, Good Friday, Palm Sunday, etc..
