Who will perform the wedding of Christ and His Church? Where and when will Christ's wedding take place? Jesus said we can't know the day nor the hour of His return, but He did promise we could know it was very near if we knew the signs. You'll hear some parallels and hints from the wedding of Boaz and Ruth. Is the Proverbs 31 woman really a parable about the Church? In John 14, Jesus says He goes to prepare a place for us. What does that mean? Philip's message will also take you on a quick tour of highlights of the book of Revelation, as it pertains to the wedding supper.

God's son Jesus Christ, is getting married soon. This is the first in a three-part series of messages that explains what Paul calls a great mystery: the wedding of Christ and God's Church. This first message goes in depth about parallels we can glean from when God created a wife for Adam, since Christ is called the "second Adam."; Why and how we must become of the "same KIND" as Christ before we can become "one" with Him.

This message discusses the many phrases used in the Bible to describe "the gospel', including the gospel of the kingdom of God, of Christ, of grace, of salvation, of peace, and many others. Paul pronounces a double curse on those who would preach a false gospel, which could include an incomplete gospel. Learn the very, very clear definition of "the gospel" from Paul himself. Few topics can be as important as this one and this message may challenge your assumptions, regardless of which church you have been attending. Philip stresses the need for a COMPLETE definition of "the gospel".
