Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Study: The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey
Tuesday Mornings at 10 am in the Disciple Room
How does the Jesus of the New Testament compare to the Jesus we think we know so well? Join bestselling author Philip Yancey as he conducts an enlightening biblical and historical investigation into the real Jesus.
From the manger in Bethlehem to the cross in Jerusalem, Philip Yancey presents a complex character who generates questions as well as answers--a disturbing and exhilarating Jesus who wants to radically transform your life and stretch your faith.
In The Jesus I Never Knew, Yancey:
Cuts through existing views and preconceptions of Jesus, citing experts from church history, modern history, and popular culture
Discusses how different people and cultures view Jesus
Dissects popular quotes about Jesus
Points us back to the Bible
The Jesus I Never Knew will engage your heart, mind, emotions, and senses, preparing you for a new, life-changing encounter with the real Jesus described in the Gospels.

Wednesday in the Word
Study: The Chosen
Wednesday Evenings at 6:30 pm in the Disciple Room
Have you been wondering what has made “The Chosen” -- created by former Elginite Dallas Jenkins -- by far the biggest success in the history of Christian television? Or perhaps you have been watching the first three seasons of this streaming TV series and would enjoy talking about Season 4 with fellow people from Cornerstone? Join the Wednesday in the Word Bible study group as we watch Season 4 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. each Wednesday in the Disciple Room, beginning Sept. 18.
We’ve all heard the stories of Jesus. But using some Gospels content and some plausible imagination, “The Chosen” takes us into these stories plus those of his 12 disciples and some other people who knew the Savior and loved him (or hated and envied him). People like Mary Magdalene, Lazarus, Mary and Martha -- even disciple Thomas’s fiancée and the people who made the wine for Cana.
If you haven’t seen the first three seasons, no problem. We will get you up to speed as we watch the video, then discuss what we saw, all over sweets and, of course, popcorn. We also will discuss and pray about our real-life joys and concerns. For more info, call Dave and Patty Gathman at (847) 840-4443.
