1:07:56

As we continue to dive into the concept of bridal intimacy in the church age, what implications does this have on how and why we "do church?"

When the disciples asked Jesus if he was ready to establish his kingdom after his resurrection they still missed the gravity of what the message of the kingdom even was.

Moses could only say he was the most humble man on the face of the earth after he encountered the God of humility.
