The Pro-Christ Church In An Anti-Christ Age

This study is based on the sermon titled The Pro-Christ Church In An Anti-Christ Age by Matthew Maher below.

In his powerful message, Pastor Matthew Maher of Landmark Church emphasized the importance of spiritual steadiness through constant reminder and renewal of God's truth. Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:14-15 and Romans 10:17, he underscored that believers must continually revisit foundational teachings. Leaders and members alike need to refocus on old revelations, strengthening what they already know to resist being swayed by trends or distractions. Pastor Matthew likened this process to a soldier staying on mission, an athlete maintaining discipline, and a farmer diligently cultivating crops. The Church's purpose is clear: not to function as a social club or experiment, but as a divine appointment to proclaim Christ boldly in an anti-Christ world.

Pastor Matthew warned against wasting time on fruitless theological debates that produce no spiritual growth. While words matter, disputes over Bible translations, terminology, or traditions can become divisive distractions. The goal is not to win arguments but to win souls, demonstrating wisdom by engaging in meaningful conversations rather than pointless disputes. As Proverbs 26 reminds us, discernment is key—knowing when to remain silent and when to speak with purpose.

The message concluded with a strong call to handle Scripture with precision and care, like a skilled carpenter or surgeon. Pastor Matthew reminded listeners that seeking God's approval should outweigh seeking applause from others. Faithfulness to God's truth requires diligence and focus, ensuring that believers are not deceived by worldly lies. By rightly dividing the Word of Truth, the Church can remain steadfast, fulfilling its mission to proclaim Christ faithfully and effectively.
