Matthew 16:18 -  “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”! 
Today’s Church:
Is being increasingly marginalized
The church is not feared
The world mocks our Bible
The world laughs at our powerlessness
They find humor in our Gospel
They believe we are all hypocrites 
We need the presence and power of God.
