The author is distinctively a seer. The one vision under which may be classified all the others is a divine-human life, real to thought, actual in living, realized already in part, to be perfected in a kingdom of God on ...

Stephen Kaung gave these messages on vision in March and April of 2014 in Richmond, VA. This was not only a charge given to the assembly in Richmond, VA but to the body of Christ. Just as Paul’s letters were to specific churches and people, yet the body of Christ has been enriched from them throughout the church age.

What is the vision that unites God’s people? It is Christ and Him alone. And the ...
