Holy Season 2025 at Cornerstone Chosen Ministries will be…

“Let’s Grow!... I want more of YOU GOD…!”

2 Peter 3:18  But grow in the special favor and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be all glory and honor, both now and forevermore. Amen.

This Holy Season will incorporate Discipline, Devotion and Dedication for everyone to grow spiritually, emotionally, financially, and in relationships with God and others. When we speak on growth, we must understand that growth begins on the inside, it has a developmental stage and then sprouts from within to the outward, where it appears to be seen. This season we will begin our journey, exploring where we need to grow, and we will start at the beginning with the Garden of Eden and all its perfection. We will acknowledge our Gratitude towards God’s creation and what He had originally planned for us. As, the weeks progress, we should all recognize a more in-depth purpose that God has for us personally and collectively as a body of believers.

          This season will require more personal time and sacrifices for each person. This season we are required to give more, and there is no limit. Matthew 25:29a “To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance.”

  Week 1: (3/5-3/9)          Week 2: (3/10-3/16)            Week 3: (3/17-3/23)

                                                 Week 4: (3/24-3/30)      Week 5: (3/31-4/6)              Week 6: (4/7-4/13)                                                                                                                                         Week 7: (4/14-4/18)

Each Week we will watch our video and work in our devotional book and journal. The 1st week we will begin on Wednesday, March 5th with the Introduction to our prayer journal. Each week we will follow the videos, and we will meet on Thursdays via Teams, at 7:30pm – 8:15pm to discuss our personal progress and what revelations we have discovered. All members are encouraged to participate and speak on what God is giving you, this is showing growth. NOTE: Our giving envelopes week 1 is our video Introduction week.​

Plant & Grow: Each member will pot their plant during the first week and remember to tend to your plant daily. Each week members will also plant in our church prayer garden. Remember to plant in good soil Mark 4:20  “But the good soil represents those who hear and accept God's message and produce a huge harvest-- thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted."

Sow & Sacrifice: Each day members are asked to sow a seed in their special sacrificial offering envelope. (You determine the amount daily, it can be .10 cents or $100.dollars, this is determined by you and what you commit unto the Lord. Each day write down the amount and insert it in the envelope or if you want to pay this seed by credit card or cash app, you can do that by writing the amount on the envelope and then submitting your offering via your desired payment method. Please deposit your weekly envelopes in our special seed offering pot at the Altar each Sunday. (This is not to be included in your tithes/offering envelopes, this is totally separate. Luke 6:38  If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving-- large or small-- it will be used to measure what is given back to you." (Read Mark 12:22-24 the woman who gave two mites…think about what Jesus said).

Personal Sacrifice (Denying the flesh)- Each member is also encouraged to give up something (examples: social media, tv, certain foods….) to cleanse, showing your spirit is stronger than your flesh. We often do not speak on the battle within between our spirit and our flesh. Sometimes our body may say it’s hungry and we rush to eat a hearty meal, when our flesh is not what needs to be fed. We often spend time on frivolous things like social media or watching mindless T.V. when we could spend a few more moments with God, in His Word or just in prayer to grow our relationship with Christ. Believers Sunday service or reading a scripture online, quoting a scripture to someone is not enough; to grow we need to do more. Now you and only you can determine where you are wasting valuable time.

Growth – Easter Sunday will be our Restoration – We will exalt our Savior with Praise & Worship, but we will also feel a cleansing that has taken place, that we have never experienced. We will also be able to express our own personal growth and how we will proceed in the future to be an asset to the Body of Christ through this journey. Others will also be able to attest to our growth, when we develop from the inside, it will permeate out like some fruit, or when a flower blossoms. The seed is planted in good soil and with the right nurturing and sun light it grows, well we are the seed planted in good soil and with the right nurturing and SON Light, we shall also grow, and this growth will lead to the building of the Kingdom of God!

Prayer: Thank you, Heavenly Father, for his journey and for allowing the Holy Spirit to resonate in our lives so that we can understand and acknowledge our place within you that you destined for us, since Genesis 1. We honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for the teaching and example that He graciously displayed so that our connection to You our Heavenly Father was restored. We are so grateful that our Lord and Savior was obedient and dedicated to being the Ultimate Sacrifice by fulfilling His purpose and embracing Via Doloroso and Calvary for us, that now seats Him at Your Right Hand and for Commissioning the HOLY Spirit to now dwell within us and to intercede on our behalf. Lord, this journey was not easy, and we acknowledge that we often may have fallen weak, but we know that when we are weak you are strong. Our prayer is that our growth doesn’t end with Holy Season, but continues to flourish throughout our lives. It is in Jesus Holy Name that we pray this prayer! AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!
