#14 Why Pursue Becoming a Glorious Church?
This episode emphasizes the believer’s responsibility to pursue holiness and righteousness as part of becoming the “glorious church.” Through passages like 1 John 2–3 and Colossians 3, the discussion challenges passive views of salvation, teaching that true faith produces obedience and transformation. Mark and Fred stress yielding to the Holy Spirit, putting off sin, and actively pursuing Christlikeness so believers are not ashamed at His coming and can reflect God’s glory.
#13 A Bird’s-Eye View of the Glorious Church
This episode introduces Mark’s book The Glorious Church and explains his view that Christ is preparing an end-times bride who will mature into holiness, unity, and practical sanctification before His return. The discussion contrasts this with common church teaching, emphasizes Ephesians 5:27, and argues that the church’s calling is not merely survival or growth, but becoming a beautiful, Spirit-filled bride ready for Christ.
#12 Grace to Israel and the Church
This episode focuses on how God is preparing both the church and Israel in parallel ways as prophetic events unfold. Mark teaches that the church is being given grace to repent, mature, and endure testing before Christ’s return, while Israel will also receive grace and eventual redemption according to God’s covenant promises. Using Revelation, Zechariah, Malachi, and 1 Peter, the message urges believers to pursue holiness, trust God’s Word, and stand with Israel.
#2 Through Fiery Trials, Not a Golden Age Prosperity
Mark and Fred discuss the “glorious church” and contrast their view with dominion or “kingdom now” theology. They argue that rather than the church taking control of society before Christ returns, Scripture teaches that God will purify His people through trials, suffering, and refinement. While they welcome the renewed public use of Jesus’ name, they warn of deception and mixture. Ultimately, they believe Christ returns for a sanctified, faithful bride shaped through obedience and hardship.
