Hymn singing was essential to the Methodist evangelical revival in the eighteenth century; hymns were both a means of expressing joy and teaching scriptural truth. The famous Methodist hymn writer Charles Wesley was the eighteenth of Samuel and Susannah Wesley’s nineteen children (only ten lived to maturity).

VERY REVEREND ADEMOROTI: A Trustee of the “Apostolic Faith.”

VERY REVEREND ADEMOROTI: A Trustee of the “Apostolic Faith.”

Apostolicity as one of the defining elements of the church according to the Apostles’ Creed ‘means being in continuity with the Holy faith and practice of the Apostles’ (Jude 3). The challenge today is that a church that is not built on the foundation of the teaching of the Apostles and prophets—the divine revelation of the Scriptures—will not endure in faithfulness to Jesus Christ.
