What does true worship look like in a world that rejects God?
In this episode, J. Mark explores the account of the two witnesses in Revelation 11:1-14. These witnesses are sent to earth to call people to repentance.

Though the world rejects God’s message, this passage reminds us that His purposes will prevail and His faithful servants will be vindicated.
