We are the church that God promised to build and to bless. And it is so encouraging to know that we,  the called out ones, are at the heart of what God is building. Glory Hallelujah to His awesome name.
We are converted through Jesus Christ, and we became true worshippers (Php 3:3)
We are a precious assembly purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ (Eph 5:25, Col 1:20).
We are the earthly expression of the heavenly reality (Mat 6:10).
In Christ we will triumph locally and universally (Php 1:6).
We are a people of spiritual fellowship (Heb 10:22-25).
We are in Christ the protectors and proclaimers of divine truth (1Ti 3:15).
We must grow and develop in the things of the spirit and edify the body, the assembly, (Act 20:32. Eph 4:11).
We are the launching pad for world evangelism (Mar 16:15).
Strong spiritual leadership begins with us (2Ti 2:2).
“I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Mat 16:18).
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper” (Isa 54:17).
“When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee…” (Isa 43:2).
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; (Psa 23:4).
Job said six troubles come (Job 5:19).
The gates of hell cannot stop the work of the Lord, nor can it hinder you, the church that God is building. Amen.
