CHRIST CHURCHES IS BUILT

 THE LORD JESUS CHRIST CHURCHES ARE BUILT * ESTABLISHED ON THE ROCK CHRIST JESUS:

REMEMBER: The Churches that Jesus ordained are built and established on His Apostles and Prophets ( Not Pastors, Bishops, or Founders ).


The Senior Apostle & God's chosen ordained Messenger brings a revolution of Biblical Christ-Faith and Belief Truth. For centuries, the religious leaders and Churches had made their traditions worldly in authority over the Churches, which resulted in many practices contrary to Jesus Christ. The Scripture alone is authoritative for the faith and practice of the Christ Jesus Royal Believers Way Saints. The Bible tells us that God’s Word is true, God-breathed, and complete ( 2 Timothy 3:16 ), and we are warned not to go beyond what is written ( 1 Corinthians 4:6 ). Amen.

In ( Matthew 16:18 Jesus announces to Peter and the other disciples that “On This Rock” He would build His Church. Peter understood that Jesus was and is the Rock on which the Church would be built. Peter also recognized that Jesus was referencing ( Isaiah 8:14) , and that Jesus was the Messiah, the Rock of offense (1 Peter 2:8 ). And Peter also understood that the psalmist had indicated that the Messiah would be the Cornerstone (1 Peter 2:7). Paul uses this same imagery when he explains that the Church was built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, saying that believers are “fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his Household, built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the Chief Cornerstone” ( Ephesians 2:19–20 ).

The Hebrew Prophets had illustrated the Messiah’s role using an architectural word picture. While the Messiah would be the Rock over which the nation of Israel would stumble ( Isaiah 8:14 ), He would also be the Cornerstone of something new ( Psalm 118:22 ). God would do something significant to fulfill His Promise to Abraham that in Abraham all the peoples of the earth would be blessed ( Genesis 12:3 ). One of the ways God would fulfill that Promise was by Jesus building His Church and serving as its Cornerstone. In construction, the Cornerstone was the first stone laid, by which the entire building had a point of reference and could base its structure. After the Cornerstone was placed, the foundation was laid. Paul explains that the Church was built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets ( Ephesians 2:20 ).

God’s Household ( Ephesians 2:19 ), which is made up of Jews and Gentiles—Jesus Royal Believers from every tribe, tongue, and nation ( Revelation 5:9 )—is built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, with Christ Himself being the Cornerstone. In the building up of the Church, God gave Apostles and Prophets. Their message gave the Church a solid foundation. Jesus chose the Apostles and commissioned them. They were empowered by the Holy Spirit, who guided them into all truth, helping them to remember all that Jesus had spoken to them ( John 16:13 ). Peter explains that the Holy Spirit moved these men, and they spoke from God ( 2 Peter 1:21). Jesus Christ also gave Prophets and Apostles to the early Church. Though this ministry is still very needed today (1 Corinthians 13:8 ), it was a way that God communicated with the Church in those early, foundational days (see also ( 2 Peter 1:20–21).

Christ Jesus is the Cornerstone, and the Church was built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets. Once the foundation was complete, the building project moved forward with Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers. Evangelists are those who proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to those who don’t yet know Him. Pastors and Teachers are those who are leading in the Church as part of God's Team, especially by the teaching of the Word of God to those who know Jesus. Both roles are needed as the Church continues to be built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets.

It is important to note that, once the foundation is laid, it is not laid again. The gifts of the Apostles and Prophets were foundational and necessary in the early days of the Church, but their purpose has not been completed. There are Apostles and Prophets today. Once the Holy Spirit had fulfilled His ministry of guiding the Church into all the truth ( John 16:13 ) and inspiring prophecy ( 2 Peter 1:20–21), He began using ALL of His ministry Team to accomplish the next stage of building up the body of Christ, His Jesus Royal Believers.

Today, all believers are being equipped by God’s Word (supplied by the Apostles and Prophets) to do the work of God so that the body can continue to be built up (Ephesians 2:21–22,) ( 4:12–13 ). The Church is built upon the Rock, the Cornerstone that was placed first, then it is built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, and it continues to be built with Christ Jesus' ministry Team, and you. Amen.
