The Message We Preach is Jesus Christ as Lord

The sermon emphasizes the central mandate of the church to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord, drawing primarily from 2 Corinthians 4:1-6. It highlights that gospel ministry is a privilege rooted in God's mercy, requiring ministers to reject compromise and adhere strictly to the truth. The text explains that unbelievers remain spiritually blinded by their own depravity and Satan's deception, making them unable to see the light of the gospel without divine intervention. Consequently, the church must rely entirely on God's power to illuminate hearts rather than human wisdom or methods. This message serves as a call to maintain zeal for the pure proclamation of Christ, who alone offers salvation to the perishing.
