From the Pulpit...

This message is a sidebar to the short series of message Pastor Matt began last week about the distinction between the church and the kingdom. In this message, we see how useful the Dispensational approach to the Bible is. It explains the differences between the church and Israel, how in earlier ages less was known about God and His ways than in our present era, how future events are going to unfold and thus how we should conduct ourselves today in light of them. Dispensationalism explains how not every promise in the Bible belongs to us today in a direct fashion, and it gives us a framework for interpreting the whole Bible, not just the parts that have to do with future events.
