YOU ARE THE CHURCH OF GOD
“For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
I Corinthians 3:9-11 NKJV
“Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.”
Matthew 16:17-18 NKJV
Last Sunday we did ground breaking for the new sanctuary that is to be built, this was led by the founding pst George Odero and lead pst Mary. We thank God for the vision He has placed in the hearts and minds of our leaders and for the growth that is to come.
This Sunday we did learn from the above verses about the origin of the church and that the foundation of the church is Jesus Christ. When Christ told Peter that “on this rock, I will build my church”, Peter wasn’t that rock but rather the rock was the revelation of who Jesus Christ is as Peter said “You are the Christ, Son of the living God”
The knowledge of Christ is then the basis or the foundation of the church. As the word describes it, we(believers) are now the church/temple of God and we are encouraged to build upon that foundation, that is, the work of ministry we do should be based on the same foundation. Note that what we build with thereafter matters because it will go unto test for a reward.
