Christ Builds His Church: Our Confidence in Uncertain Times

Where should Christians place their confidence in a confusing and often hostile world? In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins reminds believers that our confidence does not rest in human leaders, cultural movements, or our own strength—but in the unshakable promises of Christ. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus declares that He will build His church and that the gates of hell will not prevail against it. In John 10:27–30, Christ assures us that His sheep are secure in His hands and can never be snatched away. These passages remind us that Christ Himself guards His people, preserves His truth, and faithfully builds His church. Because of this, Christians can live with steady confidence and courage—even in difficult times—knowing that the success and endurance of the church rest in the sovereign work of Christ.
