A body built by revelation - The Body of Christ Week 3
In this teaching, we examine what scripture says about how the Body of Christ is built. We come to understand the role that revelation plays in growing and developing the Body of Christ, and the distinction of growing by revelation, vs growing by our human understanding. This principle is crucial to understand how truth gets established.
