Matthew 16:18 | February 8, 2026 | Pastor Todd Smith

Pastor Todd explores the profound nature of the church as revealed in Matthew 16, where Jesus introduces the concept of "my church." He emphasizes that the church is not merely an organization but a divine rescue plan, built by Christ himself upon the confession of faith. This "Ecclesia" is a group called out for a specific purpose: to bring true worshipers into God's kingdom. The church is on offense, actively pushing against the gates of hell, not passively defending. It is a blood-bought body, owned and led by Christ, assuring its ultimate victory. Discover why the church is more than just a gathering and how you can be part of God's grand, victorious mission.
