Why We Value Understanding the Biblical View of the End Times
By Mike Bickle2654:56MAT 24:10Mike Bickle emphasizes the importance of understanding the biblical view of the end times as part of a new ministry initiative, the Center of Biblical End Time Studies. He outlines the church's primary callings to build the church and engage in the Great Commission, while also highlighting specific assignments such as fostering intimacy with God and raising messengers to teach on the end times.
