Acts 2:42
This morning we are talking about "Back to the Basics". And we are talking about the five purposes of our lives. Why God put us on this earth. He put us on this earth for five purposes.

And then Adam was lonely so God made Eve with whom he could have fellowship with and be one with.
Later on God created another special thing where there could be fellowship with God and fellowship with man and that thing was the church. And we talked two weeks ago about the founder of the church, Jesus Christ and then last week we talked about the foundation of the church, the Word of God which is the apostles and the prophets' teachings that make up the Word of God. The Scripture says the church is built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets through whom the Holy Spirit gave the Word.
