Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 6, 2018

Part 1 - Introduction to a 13-part series on the origin, functioning, authority, and problems of the church of the first century; and the question of whether--or in what ways--we are to be like the earliest Christians.

This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making.

Jesus chose you where you are. He walked past you, knowing that what makes you different will be used so that "God might be displayed in [you!]" Obedience to Jesus' directives is where seeing occurs.

Let me repeat that: What people see from me and what people perceive of me. The unfortunate thing is the “what people see from me” and the “what people perceive of ...read more
