Pastor Hagee’s
74Birthday
th
Family
Fun Day
RECAP
Saturday, April 12th was Pastor Hagee’s 74th birthday, and Cornerstone
Church members and friends descended upon the Tarpley Retreat Center
to wish him a happy birthday. This year was a little bit different in that
Pastor had just gotten home from having knee surgery, so he was unable
to make the event. However, Pastor Matt and Kendal came with their kids
and were able to record a very personal rendition of Happy Birthday sung
by those in attendance.
Pastor Matt and his youngest son, Joel, blew out the candles and everyone
celebrated another season of God’s great blessing on Pastor’s life. When
Pastor Hagee viewed the tape of the members and congregants singing and
wishing him a happy birthday, he was incredibly touched. “Thank you all
so very much for the heartfelt birthday wishes. I’m truly grateful for your
kindness and know that the best is yet to come.”
We love you Pastor, and wish you many more years filled
with God’s grace, love and favor!

Did you know
that God created you to worship
Him and fellowship with Him? Often times during our Sunday
worship service, the Presence of God is so strong you can literally
feel it saturating the room. When this happens, there’s a desire
within you to be with Him. It’s like you just know this is where you’re
meant to be. There is a longing in your soul for God. As David wrote
in Psalms 63:1, “O God, You are my God, early will I seek You. My
soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you.” You think to yourself,
“Why do I have to wait for Sunday mornings to experience God’s
Presence?” You don’t! God gave Moses the plans for the tabernacle in
the wilderness; this allowed the Israelites to come into the Presence
of God. In those days, the high priest went into the Presence of God
on behalf of the people. Revelation 1.5 says, “He has made us kings
and priests to His God and Father.” Because of the blood of Jesus,
we can become born again; we are considered priests unto God.
Hebrews 10:19,22 says, “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to
enter the Most Holy Place, by the blood of Jesus....let us draw near
with a true heart in full assurance of faith.” God gave the Israelite
priests a way into His Presence. The same way they entered is a
pattern for us as Believers. In the wilderness, the Israelites could
enter the outer courts. Only the priests were allowed in the Holy
Place; once a year the high priest entered the Holy of Holies on
behalf of the people. Psalms 100:4 says, “Enter into His gates with
thanksgiving and into His courts with praise.” We are to come into
the outer courts thanking Him for what He’s done for us, then begin
praising Him for who He is. The priest came with the blood of the
lamb sacrificed for the sins of the people on the brazen altar. We
come by the blood of the spotless lamb, Jesus, who cleanses us from
all sin. As we enter the Holy Place, we submit ourselves to Him.
We are spirit beings. We have a soul and live in a body. In the Holy
Place, we submit our soul, our will, our mind and our emotions to
God. God is Spirit and we contact God with our re-born spirit. As
we submit our soul to Him, our spirit (which is born of God) is free
to worship. As we express with our mouths the longings, the love
and adoration of our spirits toward God, we enter into the Holy
of Holies. You are now in the Presence of Almighty God. Linger
a while. Soak in His presence. Be refreshed and renewed. There
is joy, peace and healing here. There is revelation and answers to
your problems, provision for every need. You don’t have to wait for
Sunday service to experience His Presence.

he Celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles has
become an annual tradition at Cornerstone Church.
As Christians, it is important that we understand
our Jewish roots, the feasts and how they apply to the
Believer. The Feast of Tabernacles, or “Sukkot,” is known
as the Feast of the Booths or temporary dwellings. This is
when the Jewish males were required to go to Jerusalem
as described in Leviticus 23:33-43, Numbers 29:12-39 and
Deuteronomy 16:13-16.
Dennis Prager
Night To Honor Israel
Sunday, October 26
at 6:30pm CST
“Sukkot” commences the fifteenth day of “Tishri,” five days
after Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement. It lasts seven
days, with an eighth day, “Sh’mini Atzeret,” spent as a day
of rest. This feast occurs during late September or October.
Families build booths of palm branches that are partially
open to the sky, to symbolize God’s blessings toward
Israel during the 40 years of wandering in the desert while
living in tents. The festival also celebrates the harvest that
previously took place at summer’s end, making this feast a
time of thanksgiving. The Puritans modeled the American
holiday of Thanksgiving after Sukkot.
It is always important to remember that the Feast of
Tabernacles’ major theme is joy and thanksgiving. So join
us for this family-friendly event – the Feast of Tabernacles.
We will be celebrating the joy, goodness and blessings of
God while enriching your understanding of what the Feast
truly signifies for Jews and Christians alike.

“A Night To Honor Israel” is a non-conversionary
tribute to the Nation of Israel and the Jewish
people of the world. Its purpose is to promote
esteem and understanding between Christians and
Jews and to emphasize that the things we hold
in common are greater than the things we have
allowed to separate us.

od is so good! The tribe of Simeon
has been increasing its territory
each year by the grace of God; and
we are growing daily as we continue to
serve Him. Linda and I have been working
alongside our leaders to serve the Lord in
and out of season. We honor His calling on
our lives.
Our tribe has been blessed with some
of the most wonderful, loving, kind and
humble servants. They are responsible
and accountable in all that they do for the
Kingdom, and we are so proud to be serving
with them.
We have Small Group Bible Studies all over
the city and our group leaders organize
outreaches in their individual communities.
Through these efforts we are able to canvas
neighborhoods for prayer requests and to
help meet individual needs. We also have
community gatherings, cook-outs, dates
for praise and worship and movies nights…
sometimes under the stars.
Each year brings new and exciting blessings
from the Lord and we are so grateful for
each and every one of them. We encourage
you to come and be a part of our Simeon
Family. We have a Bible Study close to you
and look forward to seeing you and your
family very soon!

The Secret
Road to a
earing fruit is how we glorify God and benefit others. The
road of dying to self is the secret road to a fruitful life. John
12:24 says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat
falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears
much fruit.”
We need to understand this process not only for our own lives, but
also for our children. This is the path God followed with His Son,
and the ministry topic for our next Women’s Breakfast at Iglesia
Cornerstone. The enemy tries to tell us our trials and misfortunes
are for our own destruction, when in reality it is this very path
that gives us the opportunity to be fruitful.
Sometimes our sufferings are in the frying pan for all to see,
while other times we are enclosed in a pressure cooker, secretly
suffering. It is easy to become overwhelmed and discouraged, but
God wants to impart His wisdom and strength to us so that we
can remain strong and fearless. Philippians 1:27-29 tells us, “…
Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Gospel of Christ,
so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear
of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind
striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened
in anything by your opponents.”
1 Corinthians 2:7 says, “But we impart a secret and hidden
wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory.”
None of the rulers of this age understood this. If they had, they
would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. The fruitfulness that
would come as a result of the road of suffering our Savior walked,
shows the pathway that we might also travel. The Word tells us
to not think it is strange when we encounter trials and to rejoice
in seasons of suffering. Trials are the fire needed to drain out the
impurities and transform us into purest gold, preparing us to
receive our heavenly inheritance.
God knew the strength of a woman needs to be such that she can
endure the suffering of labor pains needed to bring forth new life.
God strengthened me to be able to endure labor pains and then I
experienced amazing joy with the birth of each daughter. I believe
He wants to strengthen us in this time we are living as women, to
have what we need to birth life for our families and the Kingdom
of God. Come join us as we build our faith and strength as women
through the message of “The Secret Road to Fruitfulness.”

The Bible says to forgive
because Jesus has forgiven
us. This is a principle upon
which our faith is based; yet
why is it so hard to live out?
By Nelson Solares
• You forgive because if you don’t, you will become
paralyzed and stagnant, unfruitful in all that you do.
If you don’t forgive, you will be held hostage by those
you haven’t forgiven, having to deal with your own
resentment, bitterness and strife. You can stay frozen
in the moment where the offense occurred; continually
reliving the moment (filled with toxic emotions) until
you allow the Holy Spirit to help you forgive.
• You want to be in good standing before the Lord, not
quenching the Holy Spirit in your life.
• When you don’t forgive, you affect those around you.
I have seen a good number of relationships ruined due
to a lack of forgiveness. Some of you might think that by
removing yourselves from a situation you can eliminate
the problem. You may seem to be entering into a new
season of life, however, if you have not dealt with your
past issues, the same kind of situation can recur. The way
you leave one season determines how you will enter the
next. You need to be willing to give the offense to the
Lord and allow Him to heal your broken places.
• Forgiveness causes closed doors to be opened. It
opens your heart to love the way Jesus loves. It allows
the healing process to begin and gives you the strength
to continue your own walk of faith.
• You need to move forward in God’s purpose for your
life. You forgive because it sets you free! Walking in
complete freedom is God’s plan for your life. Jesus died
on the cross so that you don’t have to carry the weight
of guilt and shame. He died so that you can experience
His freedom, His love and His Power.
Today I urge you, (as someone who has been paralyzed
by unforgiveness in the past and has discovered the
power of forgiveness)…start walking in forgiveness. It
will open doors you never imagined and bring healing to
the broken areas of your life.
• No one is perfect. At some point we will all need to be
forgiven for offending/hurting someone with our words
or actions.

RECAP
The night of Easter Sunday, Cornerstone
Church celebrated with an incredible
choir concert followed by an original
play, The Ticket. The concert was
nothing short of a fantastic display of
love to the King. The crowd was on their
feet from the first word of “Amen” sung
by Vern LaManna. Amanda Crabb sang
about that Easter morning in a gorgeous
rendition of “On That Day.” And Shane
McConnell sang “Oh the Blood.”
Canton Junction joined in the praise
with “Who Am I?” a much-beloved
song of the church written by Gospel
Music Hall of Fame legend, Rusty
Goodman. The haunting lyrics remind
us of Jesus’ never-ending love for us:
Who am I that the King would
bleed and die for?
Who am I that He would pray
not my will, Thy Lord?
The answer I may never know why He
ever loved me so, But to that old rugged
cross He’d go, for who am I?
12
CORNERSTONE MA G AZI N E | MAY 2 0 1 4
Not to be left out…our youngest members, Joyful Noise and Kidz Praise
joined in to complete the concert
portion of the evening before changing
sets and moving on to the one-time-only presentation of The Ticket.
The Ticket tells the familiar story of an
elder loved one left behind by his family
who buys a winning lottery ticket.
Suddenly he is surrounded by family
and friends who are more than willing
to help him spend his new-found riches.
In the end, everyone comes together,
realizing that having Jesus as your
Savior is the truly the greatest form of
wealth anyone could ever obtain.
If you missed the choir concert, you can
find copies of the artist’s latest projects
online at jhm.org. The anointed lyrics
will certainly bless you!

And no new project would be complete without a release
party. In grand Cornerstone style, we partied with the saints!
Pastor Matt’s amazing tenor voice effortlessly glided across the
scales as it delivered a message of hope, healing and faith. The
Holy Spirit was ushered in and the audience began to worship
in spirit and in truth from the very first song. It was a night of
spiritual refreshing and great anointing.

Our mission implies movement.
Children move from an experience (Salvation),
to a discovery (Discipleship), to a demonstration
(Service). Our Children’s Ministry believes Biblical
discipleship is an ongoing process, and we strive
to provide services, programs, and events that
make that possible.
ministering to the spiritual needs of children
in 1st – 5th grade
It is an absolute honor to serve the children of Cornerstone
Church. When the children’s ministry is successful, the
difference is not just measured in lives, but quite possibly in
generations. We will see a generation who build their lives
upon The Cornerstone Jesus Christ – one precious life at a
time.
More than ever before, Cornerstone Kids is passionately
pursuing the vision and direction of Cornerstone
Church, taking All The Gospel To All The World and To All
Generations. More than ever before, Cornerstone Kids is
aligning with other ministries of our church in order to make
a more significant impact on kids as they grow from infancy
toward adulthood. More than ever before, Cornerstone Kids
is partnering with families to help parents find success in
their efforts as the spiritual leaders and greatest influence
in their child’s life. As Cornerstone Kids Pastor, my prayer for
every Cornerstone kid is that they experience the Father’s
love, discover their identity in Christ, and powerfully
demonstrate God’s love towards others.
We are blessed to offer these Sunday services
and programs in the Life Center:
• Children’s worship service at 8:30 a.m.
and 11:00 a.m.
• Small group classes at 10:00 a.m.
• Children’s Choir available at 6:00 p.m.
• Bible activity program at 6:30 p.m.
• One2One Special Needs program during
all services.
Brett Owen
Cornerstone Kids Pastor
We take great care in presenting Jesus in a way that
is fun and relevant for children.
Every week we create an atmosphere where children:
1. Experience the Father’s Love
2. Discover their identity in Christ
3. Demonstrate the love of God toward others

Cornerstone Kids hosted The Mark Thompson Show for a funfilled Sunday morning. With the help of his endearing puppet
friends, Mark captivated the audience and the Joy of the Lord
filled the house. The morning was full of laughter, music,
audience participation, and most importantly the Gospel.
Mark has a unique gift of delivering God’s message of love
and our kids were truly blessed by his ministry.

“Night at the Oscars” was the theme for Fusion’s annual middle school
father/daughter banquet. The red carpet was rolled out for the beautiful
young ladies of Cornerstone Church to be escorted by their fathers (or
father figures) in their Sunday best. The ladies were gorgeous and the
scene was set for a night of glamour, glitz and glory. Because, of course, in
all that we do here at Cornerstone, we honor the King first and foremost.
As the honored guests arrived on the red carpet, the paparazzi took their
pictures before they were escorted to their seats in the sumptuous dining
room that was decked out to the nines, dripping with everything you
might see at the finest Oscar party in Hollywood.
The girls enjoyed a delicious home-cooked, multi-course meal, courtesy of
our Special Events Staff. The ambiance was perfect for singing sensations
Aaron Crabb and Sandy Parker. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as the
lyrics rang out, describing the special bond between a father and daughter.
For most certainly, children are God’s greatest treasure that He shares with
us but for a few brief moments.
Once the dinner plates were cleared, it was time to hit the dance floor
and raise the roof! It was an evening of sheer enjoyment for all in
attendance. Nights like these are what precious memories are made of!
And what better place to make life-long friends than at church!

RECAP
Knights of Cornerstone and their fair
ladies look forward to this annual
mother/son event. This year “A Night
with My Knight” was held on two
consecutive evenings due to the great
popularity in the Cornerstone Kingdom!
More than 700 young knights and their
mothers feasted while enjoying the royal
cast. Entertainment included a juggler,
illusionist Taylor Griswold, Celestial
Silks Acrobats Kellie Ramos and Laura
DiPasquale and ventriloquist Mark
Thompson.
Many mothers left comments regarding
how much they enjoyed this spectacular
event on our Cornerstone Facebook
Page. “We had such a wonderful
time at this event! There was such an
anointing and amidst all the laughter
and spectacular sights, I could really feel
the presence of the Holy Spirit. I loved
how Jesus and God were woven through
the whole evening. Pastor Brett did an
amazing job playing the king. Kendal
Hagee and the staff did a fantastic job
putting on this wonderful event. I can’t
wait to go again next year!”
If you didn’t join us this year, make plans
with your elementary-aged knight for
next year’s performance. We know it will
be a Kingdom pleaser!

When Vanity
Got In the Way
of My Theology
by Dr. Jerry Eshleman
- Superintendent of Cornerstone Christian Schools
I
t was a very hot, late August Sunday evening. My mother
and I were heading to church. In addition to service for the
adults, this was the time when we had our youth service.
This however, wasn’t just any Sunday night. I was 15 and had
my learner’s permit. It was the first time I was able to drive to
church. Also, it was a week or so before school started, so I was
wearing my new school clothes.
I had dreamed all week of getting to drive that night. I could
see myself showing up, driving a car and getting out in new
clothes all while my friends gawked! (Yeah, I may have lost
a bit of my focus on why I should really have been going to
church.) Oh, and by the way, Miami Vice was THE show to
watch. My clothes were something the wardrobe folks from
the show would have been proud of. I was covered from head
to toe in pastel blues and pinks. Ok…so you get the whole
picture?
So we were driving to church. My mind was fixated on getting
out of our car and doing some kind of slow-motion walk into
the church…looking totally rad, dude. On our way to church,
we passed an elderly couple who had pulled over on the
shoulder and realized they had a flat tire. I quickly saw them
but acted like I didn’t. My mother did though. Out of the
corner of my eye I could see her look at them, then at me, then
at them and again, back to me. We passed the couple and
stopped at a stop light about 50 feet past them. I didn’t dare
look at my mother. I just stared straight ahead, but I could feel
her staring at me. I just gripped the wheel and look ahead.
Then it happened. My mother simply said…”Jerry.”
“Yes mother.”
“Jerry, did you see that back there?” (long pause here…)
“Yes I did. “
“Where are we going tonight, Jerry?”
“We’re going to church mom.”
“Jerry, what do you think Jesus would do if He were on His
way to church with His mother right now and saw the same
thing?” (insert another long pause here…)
“He’d probably stop and help them.”
24
CORNERSTONE MA G AZI N E | MAY 2 0 1 4
“That’s right Jerry. You know what to do.”
So, the light turned green and I turned the car around.
I pulled over to the elderly couple. My mother began to
engage the wife with small talk. I ask the elderly husband
where his tools were. We pulled the jack and tie iron from the
trunk. Sweat was already pouring off me. Again, did I mention
I looked like an extra from Miami Vice? As I worked on the
front left tire, I was able to get all the lug nuts off. However,
the last one gave me some trouble. I was sweaty but able
to get the other lug nuts without putting my knees on the
ground. However, this last one required me to really get a
good angle on it. I had to put my pastel blue knee down on
the oily, hot asphalt and…I got the last lug nut.
We finished changing the tire. I was covered in sweat and had
a black, oily right knee. Mom, however, refused to let me go
home and change my clothes. We went to church just as I was.
I walked in late. Nobody got to see me drive up. I walked in
with my clothes all sweaty and droopy and yes, the black, oily
right knee.
God (and mom) taught me a lot that day. James 2:14 says,
“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims
to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?”
Later in that same chapter, verse 18 states, “Show me your
faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my
deeds.” We need to be men and women whose theology
radically affects our daily actions.
Do we talk up Biblical principles in our homes? More
importantly, do we LIVE out those principles in our homes?
Cornerstone Christian Schools is dedicated to bridging the
gap between theology as study and theology as a practice.
So when you feel like watching re-runs of Miami Vice or
playing that classic Phil Collins song, maybe we ought to
remember…it’s not our talk, but our walk that honors God.
“I liked going into the Capitol and
looking at the monuments. It was
way better than looking at it on TV
or in a magazine.”– Cameron Davis

“It was mind blowing and an honor to be in the
presence of all that history. An amazing trip I
will never forget!” – Alejandro Maldonado
“Seeing the many memorials reminds me that I should be thankful for
my freedom, because freedom is not free.” – Boluwarin Sanyaolu
Over spring break, the 8th grade class had
the opportunity to travel to Washington,
DC as part of their history class. Over 100
travelers, (including 77 students), were
able to experience first-hand much of the
foundational history of the United States
of America. The students experienced and
learned more than any TV show, video or
internet site could show them!
“It was really emotional in the holocaust museum
just seeing and reading what those people had
been through and how they had to survive.”
– Dannielle Mayes
“My favorite part was seeing the war memorials
and realizing just how much the soldiers gave up
to protect our country.” – Morgan Melson
“This trip was definitely the highlight
of middle school.”
– Jack Morrison
“It is true history right before you.”
– Mykah Gonzalez
“Everything that I have seen in a text book and in pictures I got
to see right there in front of me!” – Hannah Ayuso
“I liked going to the Library of Congress and seeing on a plaque that God is
and always will be the foundation of anything America does.” – Eliana Valdez

Planning Ahead for
Summer School
Does your child wish to get ahead in school? Does your child
need to make up a course in summer school? Cornerstone
Christian Schools Online offers summer courses for grades 3
through 12 and is an affordable option for getting ahead or for
recovering credit.
Summer courses are available at CCS Online
School to start at any time.
Part-Time • Full Course Tuition • Half-Credit Course
If a student wants to get ahead on his/her high school
transcript, CCS Online School is a great solution. In addition,
when a student has failed a course at school, he/she can
recover credit at CCS Online. When a student has not done well
in traditional school, the student was perhaps not successful in
absorbing all that needed to be gained from a particular course.
CCS Online can help regain that missing knowledge and fill in
those learning gaps simply by offering a different platform for
learning.
Research from iNACOL (International Association for K12
Online Learning) shows that taking the exact same course from
the exact same teacher will most likely produce the exact same
results. If a student re-takes the course in a different format,
such as our online format, the chances of understanding
increase. Plus, our courses can be taken from anywhere there
is an Internet connection. Why not give CCS Online a try for
summer school 2013?
Go online today at www.ccsonlinecampus.
org and click “Admissions” and then “Enroll Online Today.”
You can also call our Online Advisor at 210-572-1033 with
enrollment questions. Enroll soon for your summer needs!
Tuition Fees
There is a $100 registration fee for online summer
school (part-time student registration)
Tuition for a semester (.5) credit $200.00
Tuition for a full (1) credit
$400.00
*While the time may be condensed to summer months,
the amount of work required is not reduced in any way.
As a result, we do not recommend a student take more
than a semester of any one course during the summer.

Start Date/End Date
Outside of summer school schedules, an online student
is given a maximum of 5 months to complete a halfcredit course and 10 months to complete a full-credit
course. Dually-enrolled students should be aware of
any deadlines given by his/her physical school. CCS,
for example, requires summer school courses be taken
between the first official day of summer and the first
Friday in August.
Taking Courses for Advancement
We recommend that dually-enrolled students check
with their physical school for confirmation that the
school will accept the credit for a course taken for
advancement with CCS Online School.
Taking Courses for Recovery
Any courses taken as “Summer School” for credit
recovery can be taken at any time but again, duallyenrolled students are encouraged to know any
deadlines enforced by their physical school.
Rosetta Stone Language Courses
Rosetta Stone language courses, while being online
courses, are not taught by CCS Online teachers. The cost
for Rosetta Stone courses is currently $50.00 per course.
For more information regarding Rosetta Stone,
please call Brian Carrico at 210-572-1033.
