Why the Church Still Matters Today

For over 2,000 years, the church has endured—through persecution, cultural shifts, and changing empires—because Jesus Himself promised, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it” (Matthew 16:18).

This message explores the unstoppable plan of Christ to establish His church as the hope of the world. The church is not a human institution—it is a divine movement, built on the foundation of Jesus and sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit.

📌 In this sermon:

Why the church continues to stand through history

How Jesus’ words in Matthew 16:18 anchor our faith

The divine plan that makes the church the hope of the world

How we are called to walk in step with that plan

The church is alive, unshakable, and central to God’s mission. Are you walking in the calling Jesus has given to His people?

📖 Scripture: Matthew 16:13–19
