The message asserts that Christ is the one and only Foundation of the church, and no other can be laid. He is incomparable and cannot be compared to any prophets, founders of churches, or powerful individuals. The sermon uses the acronym
๐.๐.๐.๐. to explain Christ’s role as the head:
๐ – ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ
Christ is the heart of the church. Disconnecting from Him leaves a believer’s life and ministry lifeless, with only rituals and ceremonies remaining. Without Him, everything a person does is considered “zero” in heaven.
๐ – ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ
Christ is the door to the kingdom of God. Entrance is achieved by being born again through repentance and faith in Christ.
๐ – ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ
Christ is the advocate who makes atonement for sins and presents believers to God the Father. Through Him, believers are justified by faith and have peace with God.
๐ – ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ
Christ delivered believers from the power of darkness and translated them into the kingdom of His Son. The sermon states that believers should rely on Christ as their deliverer, not on any “deliverance minister”.

Christ is described as the indispensable hope of the church, and without Him, no one can get to heaven. The sermon uses the acronym
๐.๐.๐.๐. to further explain this point:
๐ – ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ
Christ is the head and husband of the church. Members are to submit to Him in everything, just as a wife submits to her husband. He gave Himself for the church to make it “holy and without blemish”.
๐ – ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ
Christ has overcome the world, and because of this, believers can also overcome trials, tribulations, and temptations. The sermon also asserts that the church will not go through the Great Tribulation, as Christ will take them before that time, just as Noah was delivered from the flood.
๐ – ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ
Christ is the power and wisdom of God. He gives power to every part of the body, enabling believers to do everything He would have done on earth. His grace is sufficient, and this power is available in every generation until the end of the age.
๐ – ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ
Christ is the perfect example for believers to follow. As He is, so are believers to be in this world, without sin or guile.

Christ is indestructible, and so is His church. He has been appointed as the heir of all things by God the Father, and believers are joint-heirs with Him. The sermon uses the acronym ๐.๐.๐.๐. to describe Christ’s role as heir:
๐ – ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ
As joint-heirs with Christ, believers are to inherit not just things in heaven but also strength, victory, and the power to overcome sin on earth.

Christ, the Expositor, reveals all things concerning Himself to believers as they draw near to Him.

Christ is the intercessor who prays for believers, and the Father will answer His prayers.

Christ is the restorer of everything God has provided for believers. He will restore all of God’s promises, and believers will be the “personification of the fulfilment” of those promises.
