Cornerstone Carol Service

On Sunday, Cornerstone Church Kingston was able to celebrate Christmas together at an open-air carol service.

We were able to host church families, locals and guests at Tiffin Boy's School car park, which is a huge outdoor space to allow for social-distancing.

Jesus - A.K.A. the Messiah in a manger

Although the original New Testament documents refer to ‘Magi’, I like the term ‘wise men’, because they belonged to a group of scholars such as scientists, mathematicians, historians, and observers of the stars. Clearly, these wise men weren’t just content with intellectual knowledge; they wanted to know what life was...

Meet the Characters of Christmas this December

After a year overshadowed by sickness, disruption and uncertainty, this winter may well be remembered by a generation as one of the hardest. Yet, as Christmas comes closer, we’re reminded of the greatest hope we have.

Advent refers to the coming of the promised one. In the Bible, God promised...
