"And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it” Matthew 16:18

21. The Church Jesus Built
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, Ephesians 2:19-20

22. Why Did Jesus Build It?
The necessity of fellowship Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Philippians 2:1

23. Why Did Jesus Build It?
