Foundation – The Apostles’ Teaching

Bill Ver Velde

Title: Foundation – The Apostles’ Teaching
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:42, 1 Corinthians 15:3-5
Series: The 242 Blueprint

What do the Leaning Tower of Pisa and a luxury skyscraper in San Francisco have in common? A faulty foundation. Just as a building requires a solid base to stand, so does the church.

We're kicking off a new series, "The 242 Blueprint," based on the four foundational elements of the early church found in Acts 2:42. In this episode, we examine the very first pillar: the apostles' teaching. This teaching wasn't a complex philosophy but a powerful testimony to a single, world-changing event: Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah because He walked out of the grave.

Join us as we explore why this truth was a reliable foundation for the church in the past, is reliable in the present, and will be reliable in the future. We'll discuss how Jesus's resurrection makes truth objective, why this truth is often divisive but always worth fighting for, and how it provides an unshakable hope for our future. This message will challenge you to see the Bible not as a textbook to be studied, but as the living and active story that points to the one we worship: the risen Jesus Christ.
