What did the Holy Spirit say to you through Josh's message? 2. What are the obstacles / mindsets that most stop us from praying? 3.

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  https://www.knowgrowshow.ca/ Passage: Mark 9:17-29, Matthew 7:14-20  The One Thing: Let God speak louder than your doubts (Optional Icebreaker: What's going to be your first holiday after Covid?)  Review from last week: Did you send a card? How did it go?   What did the Holy Spirit say to you from the message or Sarah's story?  Where are you on the continuum between "Lord I believe" and "Help my unbelief"  Read Mark 9:22-24. What do you make of this prayer that Jesus said cast out the demon? How would you grade it (out of 10)? How can this encourage you?   Read Matthew 17:20-21. What is the difference between LITTLE faith and SMALL faith?   What’s something you doubt about God or that He can do? Pray anyways. Tell God your situation and your doubts.  

  • Living by faith (Faith series)

    24/01/2021 Duración: 31min

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  https://www.knowgrowshow.ca/ Church 414 Discussion Starters 1. What did the Holy Spirit say to you through Jeff and Julie’s testimony or Dan’s message? 2. How is God calling you to live by faith? 3. Read 1 Thessalonians 1:3: “We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ”. Ask yourselves what work, labour and endurance look like without faith, hope and love. Look at the verbs: “produced, prompted and inspired”. Why are these so vital? 4. Go to your local post office and choose a PO box. Remember the box number. Write a card to them as God leads you, including in that card whatever the Spirit prompts you to. Put a stamp on that card and mail it to “The occupants” with PO Box and the address. Include your contact info or not, it’s up to you. And pray for the recipient. Tell your church 414 group when you’ve done it. #northgowercorne

  • The Weary World Rejoices - Love (Advent 4)

    20/12/2020 Duración: 31min

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  www.knowgrowshow.ca https://bit.ly/recentchurch   The Passage: John 3:1-21 The One Thing: True belief induces new birth  What words can you think of that have “lost their meaning” through overuse in the church (known as “semantic satiation”)? What are the consequences of this?  Imagine telling someone who’s never heard of Jesus the idea of being born again. How would you explain it to them? What objections might they raise?  Regarding being “born again”, Dan said that “the shock and absurdity of the physical image is supposed to reflect the shock and absurdity of the spiritual image”. How did being “born again” change from being a radical / offensive idea to being so boring? Was there any way to avoid this?  Ask God to show you if you’ve been born again. If not, ask Him to give you this new birth.  

  • The Weary World Rejoices - Joy (Advent 3)

    13/12/2020 Duración: 34min

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  www.knowgrowshow.ca https://bit.ly/recentchurch   The Passage: Isaiah 40:1-6 The One Thing: Joy transforms praise into proclamation Why do you think so many of us are afraid of “proclaiming” Jesus to others?  How might joy be the missing component in transforming us from loving God IN HERE (privately) to loving others OUT THERE (publicly)?  Should we share the gospel if duty or guilt it our only motivation? (Use scriptures to support your answer)  Have you ever had an experience of God that has led to you not caring what others think of you? If so, share what that was like?  Look at the “evangelistic message” of the woman at the well in John 4:29 (“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”) How does this differ from the stereotypical evangelistic message? Why do you her message was compelling? If you were to take this message as a template for you, how would you complete it: “Come, see a man who told me /

  • The Weary World Rejoices - Peace (Advent 2)

    06/12/2020 Duración: 32min

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  www.knowgrowshow.ca https://bit.ly/recentchurch   The Passage: Romans 5:1-8 The One Thing: Look back. Look down. Look ahead.  G1 Romans 5:1 talks about having “peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”. If Jesus is our route to peace with God, what is our status with God outside of Jesus Christ?  Why do we need peace with God? What is peace with God?  G2 Rom 5:2-3 “And we kauchaomai (boast) in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also “kauchaomai” (glory / boast) in our sufferings”. The same word (kauchaomai or “boast”) is used to describe how we respond to the “hope of the glory of God” and how we respond to “suffering”. How can this be?  G3 Rom 5:3-4: “suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope”. In the context of this verse, imagine a world without suffering? What would that world look like? How can these verses be a solid encouragement for someone who is suffering?   G4 Why is the Holy

    30/11/2020 Duración: 34min

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  www.knowgrowshow.ca https://bit.ly/recentchurch   The Passage: Isaiah 40:1-5 The One Thing: A special kind of year needs a special kind of Advent What does comfort mean to you? What is the scene?  Where are you? What’s around you? How are you feeling? What are you holding? What can you see? What can you hear? What can you smell?   In what ways could Advent / Christmas 2020 be considered a blank canvas? Is this a positive or negative thought for you?   What are some ways that we could fill this Advent with (a) nostalgia and (b) noise? Explain how these would lead to an unsatisfying Advent / Christmas experience?  Schedule some time this Advent to "go into the wilderness" and start building a highway for God into your life. What are some things that you need to repent of? Are there any mountains of pride that need to be levelled, or valleys of insignificance that need to be raised? Bring these to Jesus at the cross.  If you don’t have an Advent

  • A song to lead you into whole-life worship (Journey Songs)

    22/11/2020 Duración: 34min

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  www.knowgrowshow.ca https://bit.ly/recentchurch   The Passage: Psalm 133-134 The One Thing: A song to lead you into whole-life worship Dan said this: '"God’s message to you through Psalm 133 is “Your contribution is so valued. So precious.” And then in 134 He says “You’re not essential. My worship continues regardless”' Why do you think both emphases are important aspects of worshipping God? Which is more important: that we are valued or that we are not essential? Why?  Psalm 133 is about unity. What is it about unity that makes is so important? What are some ways that we can misunderstand unity or get it wrong?  Dan said that unity should never be our goal. It should only ever be a by-product. What did he mean by this? Do you agree with him?  In what way is God with us when we're together (Psalm 133)? When we're apart (Psalm 134)? Think of scriptures to back up your answer.  Think back over the series, "Journey Songs". Flick back through Psa

  • Journey Songs: A song to lead you into God's presence

    15/11/2020 Duración: 31min

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  www.knowgrowshow.ca https://knowgrowshow.online.church/   The Passage: Psalm 132 The One Thing: A song to lead you into God's presence Is God central in your life or is He on the shelf? How can you tell?  David vowed to build God a “house” (a temple). God said “no” (1 Chron. 28:2) and instead built David a “house” (a dynasty, a lineage). What does this tell us about the relationship between God and David?  Kiriath Jearim (“Jaar”) is only 15km from Jerusalem. What prevented the people bringing God (the Ark of the Covenant) home? Why was he sidelined here for 20 years?  When God came “home” to Jerusalem, David danced before God with “all his might” (2 Sam 6:14). Why did dance like this? And why did Michal (his wife) despise David in her heart (6:15)? What do we learn about David and Michal through this scene? Are you a David or a Michal?  Acts 7:48 tells us that God does not dwell in buildings – He is too “big”. Yet 1 Cor 6:19 tells us that W

    13/11/2020 Duración: 32min

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  www.knowgrowshow.ca https://knowgrowshow.online.church/   The Passage: Psalm 131 The One Thing: A song to lead you into contentment Would you say that you are content? Share what areas of life you are least content in?  Why do you think the Psalmist suggests that the opposite of pride (131:1) is contentment (131:2)?   When following Christ, does WHO I AM flow out of WHAT I DO, or does WHAT I DO flow out of WHO I AM?  What is your response to hearing about “the Mother heart of God”? Can you think of any other verses that describe God in mother-like or feminine terms?  Listen to Kate’s words about her weaned son: “I’m still kind of his gateway to everything else in the world and he interprets his world through the way I react to him”. How might her words be useful in helping us relate to God? 

  • Journey Songs: A song to lead you into gospel hope

    01/11/2020 Duración: 30min

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  www.knowgrowshow.ca https://knowgrowshow.online.church/   The Passage  Psalm 130  The One Thing  A song to lead you into gospel hope  414 Cluster Discussion Starters  1. Psalm 130:1-2 paint a picture of extreme desperation. Psalm 130:3-4 reveals a deep confidence. How can these opposing emotions of desperation and confidence both be true of the believer?  2. Psalm 130:4 in the ESV says: “But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared”. How does God’s forgiveness of the sinner lead to the sinner’s fear of God? Identify different types of fear we see in the Bible / in life.  3. Can you be a Christian without asking God for forgiveness? What is it about today’s society that seems to resist this idea of “accepting forgiveness”?   4. Discuss this idea of forgiveness being WITH God (verse 4), unfailing love being WITH God (v7) and full redemption being WITH God (v7). Why are these things pictured as being WITH God? How do they inter

  • A song to lead you through oppression

    Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.  www.knowgrowshow.ca https://knowgrowshow.online.church/   Series: Journey Songs The Passage: Psalm 129 The One Thing: A song to lead you through oppression 414 Cluster Discussion Starters: 414 Cluster Discussion Starters  1. Why was it important to the Jews that they had songs like Psalm 129 in their song book? Should we be singing songs like this on Sunday mornings?   2. Nathan said one of the key messages of Psalm 129 is "You're defined by Christ, not by your past". Easier said than done. Why is this such a important matter? What does it mean to be "defined by Christ"?   3. Nathan said that God's wrath is actually His love seen from the other side (similar to how Hulk seems good to those he's rescuing but terrifying to the bad guys). How does this help us come to grips with the doctrine of God's wrath / anger?   4. This week memorize and keep repeating to yourself Psalm 129:4 "But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of

  • A song to lead you into greater trust and obedience

Consider your home or home life: what idea(s) is it built on? 2. What are some wrong ideas that our homes can be built on? 3. What ideas does Deuteronomy 6:4-9 give us for building our homes on? 4. Psalm 127 and 128 present one blessing. What other blessings does God promise to those who are single, don’t have children or have significant challenges in their home life? 5. Sit down with those in your household (or by yourself if you’re single) and agree on a one sentence idea that you agree to build your home on. (For example: “Our home exists to make God look amazing” or “Our home is a safe place where people can be challenged to grow in trusting Jesus”.)

Think about a time you repented of something – describe the feelings you felt before, during and repenting. How would you explain repentance to someone else? Does the language used in verses 4-6 resonate with your experience? What can we do to “normalize” repentance, so it’s more of a regular part of our Christian walk and not such a big deal? How does the Father’s response to the repentant son in Luke 15:22-24 encourage you? Think about the Rube Goldberg Machine of Joy (Repentance > Restoration > Rejoicing > Renown > Realization). What do you think is the next step that God is calling you to? Give Him permission to do in you what needs to be done.

"Our souls need adversity”, Dan said. Do you agree with this? How has God used adversity in your life to bring about good in your life?  Dan talked about going back to the ancient paths (Jeremiah 6:16). What are some basic spiritual habits or practices that you need to reintroduce into, or reinforce in, your life?

How is God calling you to become more “spatially aware”?  3 Why does the Psalmist focus on God’s hands, the hands of the Master? What does this image of God’s hands communicate to us? If we could see God’s hands, what might they look like?  4 This week take time in quiet to sit at the feet of God, your Master. Imagine His hands on His lap in front of you. Choose to focus on these hands and give to Him all the things that are overwhelming you. Then listen
