School of Ministry Resources Podcast

We take one book of the Bible in an overview study.  The goal is 30 minutes to cover the entire book.  It's fast paced and very informative.

Session 10 of our Church History deals with groups that did not break away or were part of the Catholic Church.  These groups of Christians suffered severe persecutions.  They claimed apostolic origination.  We consider how the Donatist's influenced the Paulicians, Bogomil and Cathari.

This section deals with Christianity around the Emperor Constantine and the devastating effects of church and state merging.  We also look at the Donatist's that opposed the errors being perpetuated in many of the churches around the 300's - 400's.

The Ante Nicene Church period is considered.  The condition of the churches and early Christians following the death of the Apostles leading to the Council of Nicea.  Certain men became prominent and are now know as "Church Fathers" due to their mighty influence.  

This second half of the third session on Church History, deals with the second group of six Apostles.

Session one - give it a few seconds to clear the background music, I was unable to clear it.  This session sets the stage for our study of the New Testament Church from the Seashore of Galilee to present day.

With discouragements, disappointments and wondering what is this life affords, we consider God's purpose for your life.  Consider God created you to have purpose and fulfillment, resulting in real joy and satisfaction.

Our fast paced world may cause us to forget the basic, important elements of life.  As Christians, we become dependent upon all we are doing and lose sight of God working all around us.  Listen in today as we are reminded to get back to basics.

This is a short talk to assist you daily by knowing that you are a Child of God and heaven bound.  Let us know if you like this format.

Here is a New Years message from I Chronicles 12:32.  We examine the need to understand the times and know how we should act.  Unfortunately, due to new sound equipment, I could not get the audio right.  Sorry, better next week.
