The church has power and purpose only when it is founded on Jesus

The church has its power and purpose only when it is founded on Jesus. If the church attempts to move beyond or grow past the foundation of Jesus and the gospel of salvation it ceases to be a church. Today there are congregations with steepled buildings and signs in the yard declaring it to be a church, but who have abandoned their foundation of Jesus and the gospel. Without the foundation of Jesus, they are merely a social club or community group. When Jesus is our foundation, we are His church and His witness to the world.
