A series of Bible messages that addresses the problems that seem to be steadily growing worse every day, both in our country and in the world. We are living in the mist of a global pandemic (Coronavirus) that has adversely affected so many people in so many ways. We are living in a time of great social and political unrest which has divided people in so many ways and resulted in a growing animosity between them. The greatest problem in the world is a spiritual problem, and the greatest need in our world is love. Not the type of love that the unbelieving world usually talks about, but the kind of love that comes from God, the kind of love described by the Greek word “agape” in the New Testament Scriptures. In this series, we explore the meaning and the characteristics of agape love and how it can impact our world for good.
These Bible messages were preached in 2020 (in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and the social unrest over racial issues) by Pastor Gregg Bing during the morning worship service at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Israel, Gentiles, the Church - Part 4
It is almost universally accepted that the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 marked the birthday of the Church, the Body of Christ. However, a careful look at the early chapters of this book shows clearly that the ministry of the Holy Spirit through the 12 apostles was initially limited to the Jews. In fact, they were offered the restoration of their promised kingdom if they, as a nation, would repent. Sadly, the people, led by their religious rulers, did not repent, but continued in their rejection of Christ. Once again, the truth concerning the Church, the Body of Christ, remained a mystery, hidden in God.
