Week 3: Christ Will Build His Church: God's Promise Through Peter
God's Promise: "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." (Matthew 16:18 NLT)
My Promise: I will align my life with God's forever family.
Jesus will build his Church. It is his job to do the building. It is our job to join him in his work. God’s plan has always been this: to employ common people in his uncommon cause. People are the hands and feet of Jesus. People are his ambassadors. People are his answer to the hungry and his response to the discouraged. People. Common people. Tax-collecting, fish-catching, bread-baking, path-walking people. He could have used angels. He could have created a superhuman species of evangelistic robots. He could have deputized lions and cheetahs and eagles, but he chose people. Jesus is building a community of people who offer an “amen” to Simon’s confession. Leaders will come and go. Church buildings will fall into ruin. But the Church of Jesus Christ, built on the person of Jesus, will prevail.
Unshakable Hope Declaration
We are building our lives on the promises of God. Because his Word is unbreakable, our hope is unshakable. We do not stand on the problems of life or the pain in life. We stand on the great and precious promises of God.
Scripture
