For many years the family and friends of Cornerstone Community Church wrote and published an Advent devotional. 40 or so folks signed up to write, then were assigned a passage to pray over. Eventually they wrote 250 – 300 words about the impact of the message of the passage they’d been assigned. Their work was laid out in a daily devotional format, printed, bound in a bright red cover, and given away in our community, to our families, and to visitors who have joined us over the course of the previous year from all around the globe.
Each year has a unique theme. In 2016, it was “Come Worship the King.” In 2017, our 20th anniversary edition, it was “Glory to God.” For 2018 the theme was “Immanuel, God With Us.” The 2019 devotional conveys the theme: “King of Kings and Lord of Lords.” In 2020, under COVID and an intense national election cycle, the theme is, again, “Emmanuel, God With Us.” (NOTE: A new devotional has not been published since 2020.)
Newly in 2020 was a video version of the Advent Devotional. Each day featured a Cornerstone family member reading that day’s Scripture passage, the devotional article, and the prayer of the day. You can access the video devotional here or through the link below. The links will become active Nov. 29, 2020 and remain active once each day’s devotional is posted.
