The Church Of The Living God

The Church Of The Living God

The church of Jesus Christ is a pillar and buttress of the truth. And that truth is under assault. What we need are Christians, and especially church leaders, who are willing to follow our Lord in resisting these satanic attacks and storming the very gates of hell in the fulfillment of our commission to make disciples. What we need—what we desperately need—is a renewed sense of the church militant and triumphant.

This sermon was given by Dr. Tom Ascol on January 20, 2022 at the Founders “Militant and Triumphant: The Doctrine of the Church” national conference in Southwest Florida.
