In "Glory in the Church - Part 2," Pastor Jack King delves into the dual-phase nature of the church: building up believers in faith (the work of the church) and fulfilling the Great Commission (the ministry to the world). He challenges listeners to move beyond personal discipleship into urgent, compassionate evangelism, driven by the Holy Spirit's power and Christ's example of love, even for those who reject Him.-- The church's work involves daily growth, teaching, and fellowship to strengthen faith and prepare us to proclaim the Gospel effectively.-- The Great Commission is the command to preach repentance and remission of sins in Jesus’ name to all nations, a responsibility for every believer.-- This commission requires believers to be "endued with power from on high," recalling the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost that empowered the early church's explosion of growth.-- The story of the rich young ruler highlights the tragedy of choosing wealth and worldly desires over following Christ, and reveals Jesus’ deep, compassionate love for even those who sorrowfully walk away.-- Evangelism must be motivated by the fierce love of God, which is a love that grieves when people reject His word and are on a path toward destruction.-- The message of the Gospel is urgent; believers must act as a warning system, risking rejection to tell people they are on the wrong road, rather than allowing them to face eternal danger silently.Scriptures for Further Study-- Ephesians $3:21$-- Matthew $16$-- Acts $6$
