The Certain Victory of Christ’s Church an Encouragement to Evangelism

Speakers: Mark Dever Year: 2014 Session: Main Session

Mark Dever begins the conference with a flyover of Isaiah 36 and 37. This moment in Israel’s history — from the edge of Assyrian destruction to the gracious deliverance of Yahweh — invites Christians today to reflect on God’s own faithfulness to His word, for the joy of his people and the vindication of His promises. Because of this, we know there’s no such thing as failed evangelism. Christ is building — and will continue to build — His church.
