Brother Sparks emphasizes the central theme of the Bible: God's desire to create a universe filled with His glory, with man at its center. He explains that the Bible is not merely a collection of historical accounts but a cohesive narrative about God's glory and His intention for creation. The first section of the Bible addresses sin and atonement, foreshadowing Christ's sacrifice. The second section highlights the need for divine governance amidst rebellion, emphasizing the importance of a central authority. The third section introduces the prophetic ministry, which has existed since the beginning and serves to communicate God's heart and will to His people. Prophets are depicted as representatives of God, embodying His thoughts and emotions, and addressing issues of sin and authority. Brother Sparks stresses that true ministry involves a deep connection to God's heart, requiring intelligence and a commitment to serve. He concludes by affirming that the prophetic function remains essential today, as God continues to seek representatives who can convey His full mind to His people, despite the challenges and opposition they may face.
