The church of Christ will prevail. He is its builder and sustainer. It is the church militant. The gates of Hell will not withstand its attack. It is also the church triumphant. We must break down the gates that oppose this mission. A message preached at Church For You, Elizabeth Park, South Australia, on 19 April 2020. www.cforu.net
[0:00] Consider the church today. In Matthew 16, verse 18, our Lord speaks to Peter and he says,! And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church,! and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
[0:29] Let's pray. Lord, we thank you for your church, your called out body of people, called to gather together, yet Lord at this time we can't gather physically yet. Lord, you called us out from the world, called us to be a people unto your name. Lord, we pray for your church as we are separated somewhat at this stage, yet Lord we are united in spirit. Lord, we pray, help us to consider, Lord, this truth of this church that you are building, that we are, in your precious name. Amen.
[0:59] Amen.
