Leadership and Passing on the Truth

In a followup to last week's GCE. Mr. Smith presents on of the seminars that he attended on how will the church pass on the truth to the next generation. If we focus only on the statistics of an aging church we could become discouraged. Mr. Smith points out that we need to trust in God's leadership of the church and His promises that the grave will never prevail against God's church.
