Christ is Building His Church

The sermon centers on Christ's promise to build His church, emphasizing that the Reformation was a divinely orchestrated movement to recover the gospel of grace, Scripture alone, and the authority of God's Word over human tradition. It portrays the Reformation not as a mere historical event, but as a spiritual battle in which Christ, through faithful reformers, overcame the entrenched power of the Roman Catholic Church to restore biblical truth—particularly the doctrines of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, for the glory of God alone. The sermon highlights the cost of this recovery, including martyrdom, and affirms that such struggles are consistent with Christ's own warning of persecution, underscoring that true revival and reform are marked by repentance, doctrinal clarity, and the glorification of Christ. It concludes with a call to the church to remain faithful to Scripture, pray for one another, and recognize that Christ is still building His church, despite appearances of decline, because His promise stands unshaken.
