"I have become all things to all men, so that by all possible means I might save some."
(I Cor. 9:22).

The ecclesia (church) of the New Testament times was
A church (ecclesia) in a hostile environment
Pressure will accumulate but we have a councillor –the Holy Spirit
We are victorious because of Jesus Christ our Lord
Let us look to Heaven’s Government and
The Eternal King of the Universe

The Lord’s Ecclesia triumphs over its persecutors
Because the Lord is our victory
He set the end before the beginning when
He stated that the gates of hell would not prosper against it

Paul was guided by a Holy Spirit
We must be flexible
We must be guided by a principle

The ecclesia (church) of the New Testament times was
A church (ecclesia) in a hostile environment
The Roman government encouraged persecution
Throughout the whole western world, yet
Christianity triumphed and outlived its persecutors
Today the ecclesia is still persecuted but
The Lord Jesus is faithful to His Word

Our Lord knew every kind of attack
That the enemy would use before time began, and
He has provided the means to obtain victory (He is the Victory)
Suffering for the Gospel is nothing new
We must be flexible; we must be guided by a principle
Paul was guided by a Holy Spirit

The Lord’s Ecclesia triumphs over its persecutors
Because the Lord is our victory
He set the end before the beginning when
He stated that the gates of hell would not prosper against it
