There’s a subject in school you either love or hate--History. People who lack an appreciation of history don’t learn from it. Military leaders study the lives of great generals and the strategies of past battles. Even with the advent of sophisticated technology on the battlefield there is still much to learn from the past.

We study the lives of people throughout church history to learn how God worked through those willing to follow Jesus.

From Robert Leroe’s Sermon “A Powerful Prayer”
