Eschatologies of defeat for Christ’s victory in history Fifth, she must reject eschatologies of defeat for Christ’s victory in history.

Through his ascension to the Father and enthronement at his right hand the Kingdom has already been inaugurated and is advancinguntil fully realized in history. … [Read more...]
God's Community
This teaching stream explores the nature of the ecclesia (church) as a Covenant Community.
Because the triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – are within themselves a covenantal community, and because we are made in his image, the ground for all human community is found in him—we are hardwired for it.
