A church built upon a rock

In the first stages of our spiritual construction to building our church we are going to the supplier for our materials needed to build our church. (The Word of God) Keep it in mind that we are building a church from a prepared set of plans. The most important part is the foundation. It must support all the weight of the church that sits on the foundation. Let's begin the process.

Building a foundation starts off with Jesus Christ, as the foundation.

Isaiah 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

Jesus Christ is the begin stage for a  sure foundation.

Isaiah 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Reading the instruction on the plans (The Word of God) we are going the maker of his design to make the foundation made of the best materials.

Hebrews 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Strongest foundation is made by believing in the Son of God, Jesus Christ

Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Let's begin by building the walls. The walls will consist bearing the same strength as the foundation with 4 walls, reinforced with the blood of Jesus Christ.

The Full Armor of God

Ephesians 6:10-17

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Storms will come if your foundation, your walls, and your roof is made by plans (The Word of God) you will live in peace with Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
