The Church: Recovery & Testimony - History of the Church in China - Part 1
The sermon highlights the importance of understanding the church's history, learning from its struggles and triumphs, and trusting in God's sovereignty for its future.
In this sermon, the preacher discusses the reason for a revival that occurred in Bucho and into college. The revival was initiated by two western sisters, one of whom was mentioned frequently as Mr. Baba. These sisters felt a burden to further the gospel in China and believed that the involvement of students and intelligent people was crucial. They began praying fervently, and as a result, a revival broke out in Bucho and into college. The preacher also references the book of Timothy, where it is mentioned that one should teach others who are competent to teach as well. The sermon emphasizes the importance of pursuing righteousness, faith, love, and peace, and paying attention to spiritual reality rather than worldly matters. The preacher also mentions the book of Revelation, where John sees a vision of the risen Lord walking among his churches. The sermon concludes by highlighting the power of the church built by Jesus Christ, which cannot be overcome by darkness.
