The Future of the Church (Part 2)
When Shall These Things Be?Steve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg explores the concept of the future of the church in relation to God's kingdom. Drawing on biblical texts, Gregg argues that the church should be seen as a part of God's kingdom and that its ultimate purpose is to bring darkness into the light and make disciples of all nations. He emphasizes the importance of the church's growth and maturity, with the ultimate goal being the holiness and purity of the bride of Christ. Gregg believes that when the glory of the Lord appears upon the church, it will have a tremendous evangelistic impact on the world.
