Fridays small group lesson... When Jesus commended Peter for his declaration that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of the living God, Jesus followed that with the statement, that on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. Todays church has grossly adopted a mighty fortress mentality that assumes were safe within our holy huddles, and satans forces cannot prevail against us. Wrong. The church was never called to adopt and/or establish a defensive position against evil. From the context and the place (Ceasarea Philippi - A Roman City where Baal and Pan were revered) we must understand that the church is called to confront evil and advance against evils rocky strongholds. We are called to advance the Kingdom of God - and when we do - even the gates of hades will not be able to withstand the powerful, conquering truth of Jesus Christ. Rise up - O Church - and march forth in Jesus name.
