Matthew 16:13-18
Can you feel it stirring within you, the undeniable call to victory? In this captivating sermon preached on Sunday morning, July 20, 2025 at Lawton Street Baptist Church, we explored the powerful phrase “Ad Victoria” – that’s “To Victory” in Latin, drawing inspiration from the biblical revelation of Jesus’s divine identity in Matthew 16.
At the heart of triumph, we find Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the living God. Peter’s bold profession of faith (Matthew 16:16) unveils our foundation for victory, thus empowering our Christian journey towards triumph. But this victory is not just abstract.
The church, established on the bedrock of Christ’s victory, is designed to be an embodiment of this truth. This victory, secure against the fieriest darts of adversity, is both our heritage and our call to action.
How then do we implement this divine victory in our daily lives? It begins with belief – recognizing Jesus as the victorious Son of God and progresses to action —living out this truth personally and publicly.
So, are you ready to shout “Ad Victoria!”? Lean into the truth of Jesus’ divine identity and the confident victory it proclaims.
