The FIRST Thing God Wants Everyone To See In All Creation
This may be the most difficult challenge facing the modern Church: confronting the mindset that prevents us from seeing Jesus Christ. In this profound message, Gene Edwards draws a line between the prevailing mindset—hard as granite and virtually impenetrable—and the necessity of genuine revelation. He argues that an “idolatry of the Bible” has eclipsed the “centrality of the Lord Jesus Christ,” replacing the person of salvation with an “it” (system, doctrine, or denomination). Gene Edwards challenges believers to recognize that the Holy Spirit’s primary work is not power or gifts, but the unveiling of Christ. Listen as Gene Edwards calls for a deep humility and a radical shift back to seeing Jesus as the first thing in all creation, the Head of the ecclesia, and the only foundation that will survive the destruction of this world. If you are weary of the world’s chaos and the church’s systems, this sermon provides the crucial focus needed to rest in His knowledge.
