Inside the Kingdom

Pastor Henry is an avid disciple and scholar of Kingdomology, the study of the kingdom of God. Intense study of the kingdom, has taken him inside the government of God and how God's citizens are to live according to His constitution. Pastor Henry's research has also given him a greater understanding of Reignology, an empowerment of God through the Holy Spirit that teaches God's original plan for humanity and that through the atoning work of Christ, we are able to live and successfully fulfill that original plan.
