OUR HISTORY
The Foursquare Church, officially named the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, is a Pentecostal denomination that resulted from the dynamic evangelistic ministry of Aimee Semple McPherson, who opened the historic Angelus Temple on Jan. 1, 1923.
OUR DOCTRINE
The Foursquare Church exists to glorify God and advance His kingdom. Our call is to preach Jesus Christ, God’s Son, as The Savior, The Baptizer, The Healer and The Coming King. We are committed to plant churches in all corners of the world proclaiming the gospel of Christ.
OUR BELIEF
Our belief is based on core biblical truths we call the 22 tenets of faith. We believe in The Holy Scripture, The Plan of Redemption, The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Heaven, Tithe and Offering, Moderation, Divine Healing, Civil Government and lots of other amazing truths.
This Week’s Message
THEME FOR THE MONTH: ”I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH”
TEXT: MATHEW 16:18
TOPIC : ”THE BUILDING”.
TEXT : 1 CORINTHIANS 3:9 & 16, EPHESIANS 2:10
SPEAKER: : BROTHER DIIPO OLAPEJU
INTRODUCTION:
ENTER THE GATE:
As rightly pointed out in previous teachings in this series, the church is
not the physical building but a body of true believers rooted and built
up in Jesus connected together in Spirit and worshiping God together.
THE FOUNDATION: 1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is already laid,
which is Jesus Christ (The Messiah, the Anointed One).
THE EDIFICE: Colossians 2:6-15, Ephesians 4:11-16, 1 Corinthians 12:27
“Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to
walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you
were taught and overflowing with thankfulness…..”
Spiritual gifts for the works of ministry in building saints all emanate
from eternal God Head/Trinity with the Holy Spirit at the center of
building the body of Christ and the body of believers a.k.a “the church”.
As affirmed, the number one instrument God uses to build His “church”
is the Holy Spirit. We therefore need the operation, manifestation and
expression of the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit for the edification of
the “church” and the transformation of the believers. (1 Corinthians
12:1-11, Galatians 5:22-23 & Jude 1:20).
LIFE APPLICATION & PRAYERS:
When we hear the theme indicative of Jesus saying “I will build my
church”, what we should see is Jesus saying “I will build you”……
Hence, we need to genuinely desire, yield and submit to the Holy Spirit to build us up.
CONCLUSION:
In what areas you might ask? Spiritual, Family, Health, Academics,
Career, Business and Social.
