Great News
A NOTE ABOUT THE VIDEO FROM STEPHEN
'Great News' is a video I created in 2015, which I decided not to publish. While the concept was powerful, it just didn't come together: The narration is a little sloppy, the transitions clunky in parts, and overall the message didn't quite hit the intended target. However, sitting on it forever because it isn't perfect only serves pride rather than obedience in furthering the gospel a little at a time. So, throwing the new MyKing Church logo in and putting it out there will hopefully help at least one person understand the big picture outline of God's plan. Simply put, the world was once perfect, we have made a mess of it, but the great news is that one day God will restore all things back to their former glory through Jesus' coming Kingdom.

“the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new”” (Rev 21:1-5).
