It is our desire to see people know, grow, and go...in Christ

Cornerstone LifeGroup's 30 Week Discipleship Study called BELIEVE


On this page you will find the LifeGroup questions for your small group, family, or individual use. This is an integral part of our 30-week discipleship journey. Over the course of this journey, we will be moving from having head knowledge to heart action.
This is the essence of disciple-making; “…teaching to obey” all that Jesus commanded.
 
The first 10 lessons will focus on doctrine so that we will think like Jesus. They answer the question, “What do I believe?” With each topic we will address three areas:
  1. KEY QUESTION: What life question does this belief answer?
  2. KEY IDEA: What is the unifying concept of this belief that most Christians embrace?
  3. KEY APPLICATION: What difference does this make to the way I live?
The goal is to read each belief to understand it, and then ask yourself honestly if you really do believe it. Do you believe it enough to take such truth deep within your heart? If so, then we need to live it though the power of the Spirit in our lives.
 
Week 1 - God
Week 2 - Personal God
Week 3 - Salvation
Week 4 - Bible
Week 5 - Identity in Christ
Week 6 - Church
Week 7 - Humanity
Week 8 - Compassion
Week 9 - Stewardship
Week 10 - Eternity
​
These beliefs will drive the outcome of who we become…if these beliefs reside in our hearts. Otherwise they just remain in our head and will not produce transformation. So we then move to 10 practices, or spiritual disciplines, of the Christian life. Together they answer the question, “What should I do?”
  1. KEY QUESTION: What life question does this practice answer?
  2. KEY IDEA: What are the essentials of engaging in this spiritual practice?
  3. KEY APPLICATION: What difference does this make in the way I live?
Just saying you will “try” harder to live the Christian life never works. Think of this as training in spiritual fitness, and it is as challenging as physical exercise, but with even greater benefits.

Thinking like Jesus moves us to acting like Jesus with the goal of being like Jesus. The final 10 weeks will focus on key virtues that will be manifest in Jesus’ disciples. They answer the question, “Who am I becoming?”
  1. KEY QUESTION: What life question does this practice answer?
  2. KEY IDEA: What are the essentials of engaging in this virtue?
  3. KEY APPLICATION: What difference does this make in the way I live?
We can not do this through our own effort but need the presence of God in our lives. Make sure you have indeed trusted in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Then confess your sin, to expose it to the light, and get involved in a community of believers. As you grow and serve, people will see a reflection of Christ in your life, and you will be able to witness to the world around you the life-changing power of Christ!
