The Church | 11-25-18

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the primary purpose of the church as being the pillar and ground of the truth, which is Jesus Christ, the light of the world. It distinguishes between sheep and goats, explaining that sheep are God's people who may stray but are ultimately saved, while goats reject the light and cannot be saved. The church's role is to nurture and feed the sheep, holding up the truth boldly, rather than trying to attract and accommodate the goats. The message calls for the church to focus on elevating Jesus Christ and supporting believers rather than compromising the gospel to appeal to the world.
