God is shaking what is temporary so that we may discover what is eternal. He is shaking both the heavens and the earth in order to bring the nations to His glory.

By Dr. Brian J. Bailey In Ecclesiastes 1:17-18 the preacher’s own personal testimony concerning his search for wisdom, “And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.” Some commentators have suggested that this book is a mass of contradictions, or that it presents two wisdoms – that of this world and that of God. However,

Our young prayer warriors from the Children’s Church gathered at Orchard Towers to release God’s blessing in the heart of the city. Kidz@Prayer was birthed from a precious vision God placed on our hearts years ago – a longing to raise up children who will stand as prayer warriors for their families, their communities, and their generation. On 15th November, seven families came together, and their presence was a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness. Seeing parents and c

As our Cornerstone Bugis congregation transitions to a new home in Orchard Towers, we give thanks for what God has done over the last seven years since the congregation was established in January 2019. Rekha (Faithworks) Our Bugis volunteers share with us their fondest memories and what they are thankful for: I’ll remember the warm atmosphere of people mingling together before and after services at Bugis, the smell of coffee, as well as the conversations that often began with

As we began the year 2026, the leaders of Cornerstone Community Church gathered to dedicate ourselves to the Lord, as we stepped into another new season for this House. It was a gathering of over 450 pastors, staff, deacons, zone, section, Cell, and ministry leaders at our newly renovated auditorium in Orchard Towers. This was the first time the yearly Dedication Service was held there, with many delighted by the renovation as they arrived, marking a defining moment in the ch

By Bob Sorge The greatest honour in David’s life was not that he wrote many of the Bible’s psalms. The greatest honour in his life was not that he was king of Israel, or that he was given an everlasting throne. The greatest honour in David’s life was being quoted three times on the cross. “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Ps 22:1). “I thirst!” (Ps 143:6). “Into Your hand I commit my spirit” (Ps 31:5). When Jesus was in the throes of His agony and looking for langua

“Ebenezer – Thus far the Lord has helped us.” These were the words inscribed on the dedication stone at Orchard Towers – reflecting our hearts of gratitude and awe as we look upon God’s faithfulness to Cornerstone. Taken from 1 Samuel 7:12, this was when the prophet Samuel set up a stone to commemorate God’s help in defeating the Philistines and named it “Ebenezer”. Likewise, God’s grace alone has brought Cornerstone thus far. It is His hand that has led us through all these

John Alabaster tells us how his team of four experienced God on a mission trip to Marikina, Philippines. All God is looking for is a willing heart to show up and go! I didn’t expect this trip to change me so much. It was only my second mission trip, and my first leading a team. I remember packing my bags with a mix of excitement and an uncomfortable whisper in my heart: “Are you sure you’re up to this?” I was definitely trusting in the Holy Spirit to carry what I couldn’t. Fr

Participants of the trip share their reflections on what they took away from the time of prayer in Wales. A Willing Vessel - Don Yeo Joining the intercessory trail to The Bible College of Wales (BCW) is a dream realised. Since joining Cornerstone in 2019, I have come to see this as our inheritance of intercession and revival – one that we must step forward to claim! The journey of more than 20 hours from Singapore kept my heart pondering: Why us? Standing on the grounds where

Our Cornerstone Internship Programme interns tell us about the most memorable experiences they had! Faith Chong: I thoroughly enjoyed my ministry experience in the Children’s Church department, from lesson planning and packing camp items to serving on Sundays and at camp itself. There was always something new to learn. Seeing the commitment of the staff behind the scenes and their genuine care for the children truly warmed my heart. Visiting the Orchard Towers unit to worship

In November 2025, Family Life Ministries hosted 18 couples at our very first Marriage Retreat, which was held in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Over the course of the retreat, couples shared laughter, heartfelt reflections, and even quiet tears that fostered stronger bonds. Many expressed how valuable it was to have uninterrupted time to communicate and listen to one another again. Deacon John and Esther Lim illustrated the roles of husband and wife through a couple dance, explaining

Shawn Oui shares how God came through during a mission trip to Marikina, Philippines. “Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise Him, all you people of the earth.” — Psalm 117:1 (NLT) Three months before our team’s mission trip to Marikina, Philippines, I had a dream in which Pastor Kathy, one of the pastors at Cornerstone Marikina, encouraged me to “learn a new tongue”. I shared this with my team members, and we began learning Tagalog songs – unaware of just how prophetic tha

Giftopia Land was the theme for this year’s Children’s Day Celebration at our Children’s Church. Why Giftopia Land? Because we believe every child is wonderfully created with unique gifts, talents, and purposes from God. Our hope is that through this celebration, the children will begin to discover, develop, and delight in the special gifts God has placed within them. While the little ones below age 6 had activities such as the Mini Artist Studio, Tiny Chef Corner, and Little

In August 2025, Angel Chiang’s Cell group collaborated with Cornerstone Community Services (CCS) to conduct a community outreach programme for the residents at Gladiolus Place, a rehabilitation home for at-risk teenage girls with child protection concerns. She tells us more about their volunteering experience. Gladiolus Place aims to provide care and healing for vulnerable girls and, in the process, empower them with hope and confidence for the future. In line with our Cell’s

The Cornerstone Global Network (CGN) Summit is a treasured annual highlight in our church calendar, bringing together pastors, ministry leaders, and churches from 34 nations across the global network to Singapore each July. It is a sacred time set apart for prayer, strengthening fellowship, and deepening spiritual and eternal bonds in Christ Jesus. We are continually graced and blessed to receive a clear and timely word from God – one that shapes our posture and sharpens the

Hadassah Chong from Generations youth ministry shares how she witnessed God move in a friend’s life. Romans 10:14–15 paints a powerful picture of the call to evangelism: people cannot believe unless they first hear, and someone must be sent so that they may hear the message of the gospel. For years, this verse felt like a weight on my shoulders. I believed it was my responsibility to convince people to turn to Christ. If I didn’t, I felt as though I had failed God. It was onl

On 6 September 2025, more than 360 youths, alumni, and former youth pastors gathered to celebrate Generations’ 25th Anniversary. This was a momentous occasion marking a significant milestone of God’s enduring goodness and grace. More than just a count of years, Generations is a space where lives have been changed, and stories are still unfolding as we walk with a promise-keeping God. What began as a small crew of hungry youths in the year 2000 has grown into a vibrant ministr

Camp Establish was a camp of many firsts for Generations. For the first time, we headed to Batam as a youth ministry, and it became a powerful time of encountering God. Building on 2024’s Camp Venture, which called us to venture out as a united army, Camp Establish served as a time of preparation where we learnt what it means to be rooted in God’s Word, refreshed by His presence, and ready to be sent out for Him. Anchored in Colossians 2:6-7, we desire to be a people who walk

Lee Hui Ling tells us her baptism story and what this step of faith meant to her. Before I received Jesus into my heart in 2019, I spent my life looking for love and approval from people, yet that never filled the emptiness in my heart. One day, I listened to Cornerstone’s instrumental album, “Selah”, from a friend’s playlist, and something stirred within me. When I came to church, I felt so at home that I decided to give my “yes” to Jesus. However, things took a turn a few m

To celebrate and give thanks for the blessings which God has showered upon Cornerstone Community Church over the last 30 years, we decided to bless the beneficiaries of Cornerstone Community Services (CCS) with a special lunch banquet at Bliss Garden Restaurant, Singapore Expo. Organised by the Cornerstone Community Services (CCS) team, it was a memorable day of celebrating and connecting with more than 400 beneficiaries over food, performances, and fun activities. Among our
