Jesus said, Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:39.620
We have a general promise that Christ will build His church,
00:00:45.820
that is, grow, expand, increase His church, not merely sustain it.
00:00:52.060
Christ is not merely sustaining His bride as a man would sustain his family,
00:00:57.760
but if a man is building his family we would assume that he is adding to its ranks not just
00:01:04.640
sustaining it but that he is building his house to build is to expand and increase and the promise
00:01:11.880
in Matthew 16 that Christ gives is that because he is the head of the church and the church is his
00:01:17.940
body his body here on earth his hands and feet Christ will not only protect and defend and
00:01:25.440
sustain his body on earth his church but actually expand and increase and build it of the of the
00:01:33.360
increase of his government there will be no end not just the the once cataclysmically suddenly
00:01:42.900
establishment of a universal government not not that there is no government and then one day
00:01:49.740
boom here it is and it's all done increase implies progressive gradual not cataclysmic
00:01:59.340
but rather progressive and gradual through a process over time and so we have general promises
00:02:06.500
from the lord not only that he will sustain his church but that he will progressively expand and
00:02:13.240
build his church and i know that you've heard me say this many times but by god's grace there are
00:02:18.340
new people who come to our church every week who may not be aware of this. But Matthew 16 says
00:02:24.780
that as Christ promises to build the church, the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
00:02:30.980
Now notice the gates of hell are defensive, not offensive. This is not weaponry, but rather the
00:02:40.200
gates of hell signify the defense of hell. So what is the offensive weapon in this particular
00:02:47.620
The equation given to us by Christ Jesus Himself.
