The Church’s One Foundation Matthew 16:13-18 Summary: Have you ever made a promise you couldn't keep to someone else? We often think we can deliver on our promises, but we fail, forget or change our minds. But not Jesus! Today we begin a new series on the Church - what it is, what God thinks of it and what it should mean to us. Listen in today's sermon for Jesus' powerful promise to build His church: Outline: 1. A saving confession: The church is made up of all who confess and believe that Jesus is the Christ 2. An unshakeable promise: YOU can take heart because Jesus has made a sovereign and personal promise to build His church 3. An unlikely method: Jesus will build His church through broken, redeemed people verse: Matthew 16:18 on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
