We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

God established the church because he purpose for us to house his presence in the earth.

So God wants to build a kingdom in the earth.

He wants Christ's kingdom to be in the earth, not of the earth, but in the earth

to deal with the earth so that he can preside once again in the earth and be united with man

I think we all going to be underground real soon, sooner than we all think.

And until then, we're going to keep paying on this building.

But that's, it's definitely going to be cheaper to do that.

It's going to be cheaper and it's going to be, the services will be quicker.

He ain't got no electricity, so you can't have no music.

You just come in there and preach and go home.
