What defines who you are? In a world full of shifting values and mixed messages, it's easy to build our identity on things that don’t last—success, image, relationships, or achievements. But Scripture offers us something unshakable: Christ Himself as the Cornerstone.

In Week 1 of our Christ the Cornerstone series, we explore how our identity is grounded not in what we do, but in who we are in Christ. Ephesians 2:18–22 reminds us that through Jesus, we have direct access to the Father. We’re no longer outsiders—we are citizens of His Kingdom and members of His household, being built together into something holy and eternal.

This week's message and discussion guide will help us reflect on what it means to truly belong, how to re-align our lives with Christ as our foundation, and how to live out that identity in real and practical ways—both personally and in community.

In week two of our Christ the Cornerstone series, we turn to 1 Corinthians 3:9–11 to explore how Jesus is not only the foundation of our faith—but the foundation of our unity. Paul reminds us that we are “God’s field, God’s building,” and that what we build together as the Church must be centered on Christ alone. This week’s discussion invites honest reflection on what threatens our unity and how we can realign our lives, relationships, and service with Jesus at the center. Whether you’re navigating conflict or longing for deeper connection in community, this study offers a compelling call to build something lasting—together.

In Week 3 of RESTORE Summer, we’ll explore Christ the Cornerstone: The Foundation of Our Transformation through Romans 12:1–2. This session invites us to reflect on what it means to offer our lives as living sacrifices in response to God’s mercy—and how true transformation begins with a renewed mind. We’ll discuss how Jesus, as our cornerstone, reshapes our values, thoughts, and daily decisions, challenging us to break away from worldly patterns and build our lives on His truth. Through honest conversation and practical application, we’ll consider the areas where God is currently working in us and how we can support one another in pursuing lasting spiritual growth.
