"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock." - Matthew 7:24-25
Jesus said over and over again that we should build our lives on his teachings, but what does that truly involve? Join us as we break down the last words Jesus left us (The Great Commission) and the apostles' response to them.
Speaker: John Pryor, Senior Minister
Notes:
We put a lot of faith in personal testimonies (e.g., 1 John 1:1-4).
The apostles' teaching was totally focused on Jesus Christ .
Our mission is the Great Commission .
(Matthew 28:18-20).
Acts 2:42-47 is the prototype of what Church should be like.
Acts 2:42 (NLT) All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer.
The apostles' teaching was based on first-hand , Eye-witness accounts.
Dr. Tony Evans defines The Church as “the group of people that God has ordained...to bring heaven's viewpoint into history.”
OK, God, I will....
