We started a study last week in the Wednesday night Bible study that I was at first a bit worried about, but it is turning out to be great. We are looking at church history. We need to learn what we can about the story of Christianity, so that we can be better informed for our future. Here is the introduction from last week:
Why is our story important?
This week we are starting a series on the history of the church. We will look at the history of Christianity with two special emphasis. First, we will emphasize the experiences of the typical Christian rather than focus on the theologians. Second, we will review and test each section of our story against the Scripture and teaching of Jesus.
Our story is important because we have the opportunity to critique our mistakes and victories. We do not believe that all of our (Christians) actions and traditions have been infallible or free from error. We can learn from the past. Also, it is apparent that often history repeats itself. We will find that doctrinal error also repeats itself.
The first week received a lot of response. We will be recording the series, making a set of CDs to purchase and will make a booklet out of the handouts so that you can follow along with the CDs.
