The Heavenly Hierarchy

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 3, 2015

As the Son of God, Jesus is superior to the world, even though he was not fully revealed to man until his death, resurrection and ascension. Because he became human, he was our representative before God.

Little Is Much Series

The tension between the flesh and the Spirit is tremendous. Too often human pride and independence crowd God's Holy Spirit to the margins of daily thought and action. Unity and evangelism should be the hallmark of our churches today.
