Adult Bible Study Schedule - Christian History Made Easy
Sunday Mornings at 9:30 A.M.
Overview
Session Title
Together we read through the book of Acts. We read how Paul carried the good news of Jesus Christ to the Gentile world. We learned about Jesus that were established in Asia Minor and Greece. Then we read about Paul being taken to Rome as prisoner. With Paul went the message of salvation. The book of Acts shows of the Word of God grew and spread through the then known world. But that is where the Biblical account ends. This study looks what happen after Acts. It traces the history of the Christian church from then to the present by looking at important events and people through the ages. Each session will look at a different period of our history.
