Pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio I believe that every Jewish person who lives in the light of the Torah, which is the word of God, has a relationship with God and will come to redemption.”

Pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio “In fact, trying to convert Jews is a ‘waste of time,’ he said. ‘The Jewish person who has his roots in Judaism is not going to convert to Christianity. There is no form of Christian evangelism that has failed so miserably as evangelizing the Jewish people. They have a faith structure.’ Everyone else, whether Buddhist or Baha’i, needs to believe in Jesus, he says. But not Jews. Jews already have a covenant with God that has never been replaced by Christianity.”

Jesus, we look to You For we know that You are present in this place We Remember You

You’ve brought us near by Your blood We see the beauty of Your grace

Lead us to Your table How our hearts do stray

We come as one to honor You With one voice we say:

We remember You, Your body broken…Your great sacrifice

We rejoice for this cup we share in newness of life

Savior, with boundless love You are the One that we adore

Clothe us with Your righteousness, that we might enter in

You take the towel and basin For our hearts do stray

In lowliness You lead us to the place where we can partake

We remember You, Your body broken…Your great sacrifice

We rejoice for this cup we share in newness of life

I have no other confidence, I have no other boast

Just the cross of Jesus, just the cross of my Lord

We remember You, Your body broken…Your great sacrifice

We rejoice for this cup we share in newness of life

We proclaim Your death until You come again
