The Building of God Comes to the New Testament
What is the mysterious “Rock” upon which Christ promised to build His Church? Gene Edwards draws us to Matthew 16:16 to uncover a foundation far deeper than mere doctrine, revealing the costly, glorious secret of spiritual reality. This message profoundly explains that the Church is built upon the mingling of divinity and humanity, where two different life forms—symbolized by the oil and the stone—become one life. Edwards reveals that the Lord’s building project requires profound transformation, often involving a fierce final test and tribulation, mirroring the immense suffering and death Christ endured specifically for His Church. Gene Edwards asserts that it is this deep, costly work that prepares the Temple of God to prevail, ensuring that the gates of hell will not be able to stand against the moving Church. Listen with discernment as Edwards lays bare the quality of life the Lord is sovereignly demanding for His testimony on earth today.
