God’s unchanging plan from all eternity has been to save a people for Himself. Called out of darkness by His Word and Spirit, Christians now take part in this mission to bring the light of the gospel to the nations. Though we live in a hostile world, God’s people can have confidence, knowing that all the powers of hell cannot withstand the triumph of His church.

On April 10–12, Ligonier Ministries hosted its 2025 National Conference, I Will Build My Church, in Orlando. Sinclair Ferguson, W. Robert Godfrey, Darrell Harrison, Ken Jones, Joel Kim, Augustus Nicodemus Lopes, Stephen Nichols, Michael Reeves, and Derek Thomas spoke on the promise of Jesus Christ to build His church (Matt. 16:18). They considered how Christians are called to evangelism, missions, discipleship, and worship—all to the glory of God.
