The Seed
Before expanding on our Fruitful Tree, let’s look at how Jesus used the mustard seed in his parable of the Kingdom of God. He noted that this seed was one of the very smallest, yet would grow to be one of the mightiest trees. He was teaching about how the Kingdom of God grows. This […]
Sonship in the History of Man
Adam and Eve God created Adam and Eve to be one. In Sonship, there is no male or female. In this oneness is hidden the mystery of the Christ and His Bride, the church. He is head of the Church and One with the Church. Actually before the Fall, Eve’s name was given by Adam […]
