S4-29 FOUNDATION EXAMINED

Brother Singh welcomes questions from saints living overseas. One such question concerns the church that Jesus started; the one launched at Pentecost, and that church today. In that regard, let us understand that the purpose of the church was to prepare people for God’s coming kingdom.  We must understand that none of the epistles or the words of the prophets were written for us in the 21st Century. Although we can often apply those exhortations to our modern lives, they were addressed to specific issues faced by the saints millennia ago. For instance, the church in Ephesus was started on the wrong foundation by Apollos, who taught only the baptism of John (Acts 19:1-3). Paul needed to reestablish it on the proper foundation.
