The History of the Biblical Church Series Available On-Line

biblical-church-advertOn Wednesday, October 19th, Fr. Looker concluded the five-week teaching series The History of the Biblical Church.  Now the entire series along with the PowerPoint presentation used during the teachings are available on-line.  During the Bible Study, Fr. Looker took context clues given by St. Paul in his various Epistles to expand the picture given by St. Luke in The Acts of the Apostles.  By comparing details in St. Paul’s writings with St. Luke’s story, the congregation was able to hear a much more full and and vivid story of the history of the earliest Church, the Church during the times of the apostles, evangelists, and disciples, than they had ever seen before.  This was a very enriching teaching series and now it is available for download.  You can download the PowerPoints and listen along with the teachings or just listen to the teachings by themselves.  A new series begins Wednesday, October 26th, at seven o’clock.

This Wednesday night, September 14th, Church of the Messiah will begin is newest Bible study series.  The title of the study will be “The History of the Biblical Church.”  Fr. Looker will be leading the study and he wants to make it clear that that this Bible study will not be a “Church History 101” class but rather,

We are going to look at The Acts of the Apostles in combination with the various Letters of St. Paul to put pieces together and get a more complete picture of what was going on in the Church during Biblical times.  We are going to see things that are in the Bible.  You’ve just probably never noticed them before.

This Bible study is going to be a fascinating look at the ministry and missionary work of the very first Christians.

“The History of the Biblical Church” will be part of Church of the Messiah’s regular Wednesday night services which begin with a soup supper from 6:00-6:45.  The service itself is a Eucharistic service which begins at seven o’clock.  Childcare is provided throughout the service which ends by 8:30 so that those who need to prepare for work or school the next day can be home early enough to do so promptly.  We invite everyone to join us and learn more about what happened in the earliest days of Christianity.
