The early church developed quickly and expanded fast. How did they worship God in those early years? Many denominations claim to follow the pattern of the early church, but do they? In this episode we will look at how the early church “did” church at their gatherings, and how it laid the groundwork for what we do today.
In this episode we meet ten figures of the early church: five men and five women who shaped the culture of the first 500 years. A common theme in this era is the challenge of Rome’s idolatry: will these women and men burn incense to the emperor, or will they choose Christ and die? Learn how their lives model a faith for us today.
Dive into the history of the church as we look at the culture, governments, historical events and social shifts that shaped its first 500 years!
The parallels between the church of the second and third centuries and the global church today give us a glimpse of how we can live as Christians of conviction in a pagan world.
The early church faced a lot of heresies in their first 500 years. Arianism, Gnosticism, and Docetism threatened the church’s teaching and forced them to refine their teaching to match the gospel. In this episode, you’ll journey through three major creeds and five major councils!
