Christmas in the City

Hey JHIGH, we are going to be serving at the winter wonder land on the morning of December 19th. Then later that night we are going to go to SuperFranks for JHM Christmas party. Make sure to sign up online.

WINTER CAMP!


Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Hey everyone! :) it's me... JAMIE! Yes, you heard me... the real, the only JAMIE! Long time no talk my friends! Actually, this "long time" has flown by. I can't believe that I have less than 2 months left here at school and then I am home for winter break! WOOO HOOOO! I will be flying home (hopefully) December 15th and will be leaving back to Michigan January 11th... so mark your calendars!

So much has been going on here in Jackson. Recently, the colors of the trees have changed from a bright summer green, to a sweet sultry autumn yellow, orange and red. It was absolutely beautiful! And now, it's cold... dropped some many degrees... and soon the ground will no longer be covered in leaves but in snow... oh goodness. :) I try to stay "most active" my playing disc golf... it's about one of the funnest games I have played! I love it! God has provided me a job at Gap at the local mall in town... and let's just say I am getting used to it.. but God not only has provided me a job but a family (my parents) who have proudly supported me this semester. I am so very grateful.

Now, let me introduce you to my beautiful dorm:
Erika, Stephanie, Britni, Leah (my RA), me, and Roberta! We live in what is called the "bat cave" and we love it. I mean what 6 girls wouldn't like a double bathroom all to themselves? :)

My usual day consists of waking up... making my bed... doing my dorm detail (mop, sweep, vacuum), get ready for my day, breakfast, go to class for the next 4 hours, lunch, homework, dinner, homework, and maybe some kind of activity- sports, exercise, social, movie, ect. Latley, I have been in a COMPLETE crotchet frenzy and it's amazing!

God has been teaching me so much here. Let me begin with, I cannot keep God in a box. I had BIG plans for MY life... BIG ASPIRATIONS to accomplish... a narrow minded plan for myself. Well, is God totally fixing my mind to what His is and I have realized that I can't keep God in a box. He has ALL power and authority over my life. If I want to live in His will, I must keep Him out of the box and allow Him to control each step of my life through His Word. God gave me His Word so that I use it to guide my life and I intend on using it!

Another BIG thing God has taught me is how to resist temptation. One thing I have learned is that I won't always resist... there will be times where I fail and fall... but because of God's grace I am forgiven and there is NO guilt or burden I have to carry. Two ways to resist are: 1) knowing what He says. Looking to His Word for advice on the struggle or temptation. If I know that I have a hard time with __________ (struggle) than what does God say about this ________. I have come to find out that temptation comes from my OWN desires which entice me and drag me into sinful actions. It's NO one else's fault, it's my own. In the 3 times that God was tempted by Satan, He used scripture to rebuke Satan. 2) Communicating with God what the struggle is that you are being tempted in. God knows your struggles, He knows what's going on in your head and heart... so why try hiding it? If anything, why wouldn't we just be up front and real with Him? He needs to be our first resource for help. Prayer is how we communicate with God. Try it. :)

[Matthew 4, 26:41; Mark 14:38; Luke 22:40, 46; 1 Corinthians 10:13]

When slipping into temptation, it's more than just sinning against God... but when you sin against Him you are rejecting the Man who died for you because He knew that you would never be made holy or righteous on your own. Only by the cross have we been justified- made righteous before Him. Praise God... thank God for giving us the gift of grace. :)

This is just a piece of what I have been learning here at school. I have learned so much about God and His character... who I am and who He is. It's absolutley amazing! I tend to update my blog as much as I can.. so check it out... (www.jayesmeyer.blogspot.com) This is where you will hear more about me, what's going on, updates on prayer requests and praises!

Just know I miss you all a lot. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to know you as long as I have. I plan to be back... and to work with you all for a couple weeks in the winter... and then back again in the summer. So, reserve a seat for me on Sunday morning! :) If you would like to get ahold of me in anyway- email me (jamie.esmeyer@gmail.com).

Again, thanks for reading and have a beautiful day. "... the Spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

Love, Jamie.

2nd Devo with Doug


It’s now officially time for the 2nd annual DEVO with Doug! It’s hard to believe but it’s probably going to be even better than the 1st one! (at least I hope) This Sunday was the first week of CHOCTOBER!!!! And I think I speak for everyone there, that it was RIDICULOUS! We had a bunch of crazy games including a chocolate milk chugging competition that Crespo DOMINATED! And a make your own chocolate milk game where students poured chocolate syrup and milk into a cup (and all over Ronnie and Destiny’s faces!) and then stirred up with a spoon that was in there toes! I’m actually still disgusted by the fact that I drank that and you guys put your feet into that milk! EWW I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth! We watched a hilarious video by the skit guys and finally Heather taught about how God wants to chisel everything out of our lives that isn’t for Him.

This really got me thinking about how in Ephesians 2:10 it says “for we are God’s masterpiece”. That’s pretty cool huh? God created everything, he created the oceans, the forests, and every single beautiful thing in nature, and he calls us his masterpiece!! He calls jacked up people that are never “cool” enough, or “pretty” enough his masterpiece?!?! That is hard for me to wrap my mind around. One of God’s favorite things to do is create. Think about it, every single day he decides to create more people. He doesn’t have to, there are plenty of people on this planet. Doesn’t he ever get bored with that? I know I would! But no he keeps on creating because he is an artist, and what does every artist want out of their artwork? They want it to be a masterpiece. God wants to chisel every part of us that are sinful and every part of our lives that don’t honor him. We will always have sin in our life because we are humans, but God wants us to give all that up to him and let him transform us. The second part of that verse Ephesians 2:10 is “created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” What kind of good works is he calling you to do? What needs to be chiseled out of your life?

Love you guys,

Doug

1st ever DEVO with Doug!




What up Jr High! I’m really excited because this is my first official Devo with Doug, which will be my weekly entry on the blog! I will be recapping all the craziness in the junior high service, and what God has been showing us through the teachings. Yesterday we played a game answering a bunch of random and quirky questions and Joe’s and the 7th grade boys won (even though they totally cheated). We also continued our “grow” series with an awesome guest speaker named Ryan, who talked about how pain brings growth. He used the image of a “diamond in the rough” to explain how through all the rough things in life there is a diamond that will come out of it. I don’t know about you guys but it seems like to me that a lot of people that I truly care about are going through a really rough time right now. There are so many things that are going on that are making me ask God, "Why are you letting this happen?"

Do you ever find yourself frustrated with God, and can’t figure out why there is so much pain in this world? I just want to let you guys know that this is totally healthy and normal!



I want to encourage you guys that none of the pain or problems in your life are in vain. There is a purpose for every single one of them. Romans 5:2-5 says “we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character and character hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” God wants to teach you something through every difficult situation in your life, and he wants to develop you into Godly men and women who will grow in perseverance and in character. He wants to be that diamond in the rough, and wants to teach you something about himself or about yourself. The pain that I have been going through recently is seeing so many of my friends struggling really badly through life and realizing that I cannot be the one to bring them the comfort they need. What I believe God has been showing me is that it’s not my job to have all the answers and that I cannot comfort them the way they need to be comforted. Only HE can! All I can do is continue loving them and trying my hardest to be there for them.

So what is God trying to teach you? What does the Bible say about the problems you’re facing?


As a junior high staff, we love you guys more then you could ever imagine and we hope and pray that you guys feel comfortable coming to us to help you figure out these questions.



Love you guys,


Doug

Let's start from the beginning...
It was hot! There was friends! And better yet... there was a 3 pools-
One HUGE pool to just swim in, another with a diving board, and the other with a HUGE slide!
It was absolutely awesome on a HOT summer day!

Here's a recap of somethings that you missed if you weren't there:
Yes... if you can't see... this would be Phil (leader) attempting
"el flop de belly"

did you hear phil say, "ugh...that hurt."????

All in all... we all had a great day. Got some sun- played colors- sharks and menos.
I mean.. what else could you ask for?
For more events.. keep checking the blog.

We are BACK!

We are back from camp and pretty excited to be home! Not because we didn't love camp... but because we have SO MUCH TO SHARE! I think of... where should we begin....? Let's start off with this-RECREATION was PHENOMENAL!It was absolutely CRAZY! Just think, I lost my voice the 2nd day...!
Then we had chapels... where we have Grayson lead some worship and Phil give us some amazing messages that really made us think about how are lives should be lived as believers- the salt and the light, sharing our faith and glorifying God with our lives. It was amazing. The students had two opportunities that week to give their life to the "Kingdom of God"... and so many students made that decision, to leave their old life behind in the "Kingdom of Self" and to be a part of the "Kingdom of God". It was an amazing and exciting week.
From the Blob to Noah's Nightmare... from the Ark to the pool.... from paintball to the high ropes course... from paddle boarding, row boating, and canoeing to swimming around and walking to the cove and from the messages that Phil delivered every night and the impactful thoughts in the hearts of us all... I think the staff and students could all conclude that it was an amazing and eventful week... a unique one at that. :)
After coming home from camp and can be tough... because often after spiritual highs the enemy attacks even harder. So please be praying that God would protect the students who made decisions this last week and nurture the Word that was planted in their hearts.

Questions? Call/Email Jamie

Note from Kevin Carey

As the new Student Ministries Worship Leader, I wanted to write you all a little note telling you about myself. First, I’m so excited to serve the youth of Cornerstone full-time. I’ve been on staff at Cornerstone for more than two years, and I’ve been working primarily with young adults and with the weekend service teams. Now I get to devote my time entirely to Cornerstone youth, and I’m fired up about that.

I grew up as a professional actor and went to school at UCLA to pursue that dream. But, by the end of my freshman year, God had redirected my life. He wanted me to give myself to serving His Church. So I became really involved in the college group at Bel Air Presbyterian Church, and led worship there for my last two years of school. That church was a hub for Christians who were working in the Industry (60% or so of the congregation), so I got to spend a lot of time playing with and learning from producers, songwriters, artists, and musical directors who were making a living doing music.

When I graduated from UCLA in 2006 (with a degree in English), I moved back to the Bay Area. I found Cornerstone through a Google search and ended up getting involved in leadership at Fuel. One thing led to another, and within a couple months, I was leading worship for both Fuel and the newly-created Sanctuary. That part-time job turned to a full-time job in September of 2007, as I came on staff to assist Pastor Scott in the worship department and continue leading worship for the young adults. Since then, I’ve started two bands – a worship band called The Collective and a coffee house band called Under the Streetlight – and I’m falling deeper and deeper in love with Jesus, His Church, and with the people I get to meet and serve with at Cornerstone.

Again, I’m really excited to serve the youth of Cornerstone through worship. Cornerstone is an incredible place, and I am so thankful I get to work at a church where amazing things are happening through the powerful leading of the Holy Spirit.
I look forward to more amazing things to come as we follow Jesus together.

If you have any questions or thoughts, or just want to say hi, feel free to email me at kevinc@cornerstoneweb.org.

Grace and peace,
Kevin Carey

SUMMMMMMMMMMER CAMP!


Rube…? Who is Rube? That’s what we will be finding out this summer- June 21st through the 27th at Hume Lake Christian Camp! In Meadow Ranch, the JH camp, we will be involved in a week of worship, God’s Word, fierce competition, and relationships with other students and counselors!

Worship will be lead by Grayson Kessenich, a northern California boy
(<--)
(http://www.graysonkessenich.com/)

Phil Payne will be our speaker. He is a missionary apart of the International Teams working and living in Quito, Ecuador and worked with Youth Ministry for 10 years before that in California!
He will be taking us through the idea that as (-->) Christians we are to be the “salt to the earth” and to show love to our neighbors. But here is the question to think about: Do you truly care about the people in the world? During this week, you will be pushed and challenged to take a look on how you care and love people around you and to reflect on if Jesus is seen in the way you live. So BE READY FOR a week of a challenging speaker and competitive team spirit!

Be at the church for CHECK-IN at 9am in front of the Event Center.
We will be LEAVING at 10am.
The advised amount of money to bring for activites is $30-$50 for the week.
Bring some snacks for the trip, it's a nice couple hours in a bus. :)
Questions: talk to Jay or Jamie
Here's a secret... PACK as much NEON GREEN, PURPLE, and circus/clown theme for SPIRIT POINTS that week! Remember- uLtiMaTe dOmInAtIoN....!

ULTIMATE DOMINATION

coming from those underclassman students!
We are so excited to have YOU join us OFFICIALLY this Sunday, June 14th at 9 am for a morning of energized worship, games, and teaching! Be sure to join us!

For the parents who joined us this last Friday, thank you for participating and brining your student to this event that will surely have them prepared for this Sunday.

"Stand Out" week 2

Over the last few weeks we have been talking about how God has called us to live a life that "Stands Out." On Sunday Paul challenged us to stand out in the way we care for people we don't know and how if we are really following Christ we should be inclusive in the way we care for people. How have you been standing out? Are you reaching out to kids that you might not normally get along with? My prayer for you is that you would live your life boldly, taking risks to show people how amazing our God is.


Check out this video of some of the stuff we are doing on Sundays.

Sunday Recap

On Sunday we started our new series “Stand Out,” where over the next 7 weeks we will look at the parables of Jesus, and how through the parables Jesus shows us how to live like him. Yesterday we looked at the Parable of the Talents and accepted the challenge to live the life God has given us in a way that is honoring to him. Ephesians 2:10 states, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God in advance prepared us to do.” God created each of us uniquely with our own personality and set of gifts. We are called to use those unique gifts to love and care for each other while showing people the love of Christ. We challenged each other to focus specifically the next 7 weeks to live a life that stands out and gave each person who accepted the challenge a bracelet to help them remember their commitment. We also decided to give each Home Group a $100 to see how over the course of the series they can use that money and their gifts to further God’s kingdom. I am excited to see what God is going to do through this series.

Next week my good friend Paul Halvorsen will talk to us about Luke 18:9-14. Read it early so you can be ready on Sunday. Paul is great, you guys are going to love him.


See you soon!

6th Grade Guy's Home Group Lesson "Watch Your Step"

This week we started off the home group with a quick football game and then investigated how best to destroy our peeps to demonstrate how dangerous the rat traps are. After that we explored the role of trust and faith in a community of believers and how we can support each other in our temptations. We did a couple of trust exercises where the students had to trust others to avoid injury. Galatians 6:1-3 and Romans 14:12-13 are great places to study the principles found in the lesson.

God Bless!

6th Grade Guy's Home Group

Hey everybody! Here are some highlight's from our 6th grade guy's home group. If you aren't involved in a home group here's what you are missing out on. - Jay

Last week’s lesson was titled "Micro-Mess". We explored how things that happen to us can cause changes inside us. If we do not take these things to God they can cause us to explode: outward, in destructive behavior; or inward, in self-destructive behavior.

We microwaved raw eggs to graphically demonstrate what happens when things are held inside until they explode.



We taught on how a little bit of guidance and instruction, from God's Word can make a big impact on our effectiveness for Him. The boys assembled marshmallow rifles first without instruction, & later based on a proven design.
