Scripture: Matthew 16:13-27
The Church may seem at times to be weak, divided, and ineffective. But that is usually the result of human leaders and institutions creating problems. Christ declared that he was going to build His church on the apostles; they would proclaim the message of Christ, record it in Scripture, and establish the Church throughout the known world. Everything we do today is based on the work and the teachings of the apostles, who were commissioned by Christ and inspired by the Spirit.
