     | 3,826 views

    Saints we are seeing an ever growing shift in spiritual focus in our world, one that is off the Church and on to Jerusalem. In the eyes of the world “The Church” is becoming less relevant and Jerusalem is becoming more and more relevant.

As I share and review the glorious news of Pentecost today I must also prepare you the Church for the glorious end of “The Church Age” which we see all around us.
