In this Sunday morning message from July 1978, Pastor Jack draws from Matthew 16 to teach on the glorious church Jesus promised to build. He emphasizes that the church is founded on the revelation of who Jesus truly is – the Christ, the Son of the living God – and that this revelation transforms people into living stones. Pastor Jack declares that the gates of hell cannot prevail against the church, which is called to advance in victory rather than merely defend, and he celebrates God’s decentralization of His glory into every dwelling place of His people.
