Church History

 

Trace the finger of God
 
On the last night of Jesus' life on earth, He established a principle that has endured in the life of the church from the first century to the present day—the world that persecuted Him would likewise persecute His followers (John 15:20). And so it has been; from that day until this, men and women of faith have suffered and given their lives for the cause of Jesus Christ. It is our history as a church, a history wrought with controversy, conflict, and persecution. But it is also a history of triumph, faith, and community. Ours is a 2000-year-old history, rich in tradition and doctrine and filled with intriguing characters — saints and sinners — who've written the story that is the church.
 
To study the story of Christ's church is to trace the finger of God across the timeline of human history.
