'You cannot build a more successful Christian life than your foundation will permit.'
Jesus, as well as Paul talked about 'building on the foundation'.
What did they mean by being founded on the rock? What or who is this foundation?
And how are we to build on it?
Bible teacher Derek Prince explains this being 'Founded on the Rock' to us by the following:
- Christian life compared to a building
- Christian responsible to be built up into a dwelling place for the Lord
- Foundation of the building
- Laying the foundation
- Matthew 16 13–18 (Jesus calls Peter 'the rock')
- Is a relationship like Peter with Jesus still possible today?
- Building on the foundation
- Repentance
- The Bible as the Word of God in writing (John 10 35)
- Jesus the Word of God in person
