Christ has promised to build His church. The gates of hell will not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). But we shouldn't expect that to be easy. We need to get comfortable with the reality that church will not be built without conflict.
Consider what we have learned over the last few weeks. Homes will not be reclaimed and society will not be reformed without conflict. There are many victories in our walk with Christ that will be won through our struggle against evil. Our text in Ephesians 6:1 - 12 will help us walk in victory as we avail ourselves of the Lord’s strength and the protection He provides.
