We got from the Apostles through the 1st century church.

• We highlighted the doctrinal formula/emphasis of the apostles teaching from Acts 2, and how the church fathers picked up on that (One, Holy, Universal, Apostolic church)

• We covered some early threats to the faith (Montanus, Marcion, Gnosticism) and how these heresies caused the church to be even more clear and strong on the deity of Christ and Canon of Scripture. Canon is where we'll pick up next week, with hopes to get through a couple more centuries of the church.

Hate history? Good, that'll change ;)

6 Reasons We Should Study Church History

1. Who is prayer for?
2. Why do we say stuff?
3. Why do we pray together?
4. Beware lots of words.
5. How can we help our praying?

How do my answers to life's big questions impact my everyday life? I hope to convince you that your answer to identity questions have a profoundly practical application to every day of your life.

2 Chronicles 9 helps us see that we should fix our eyes and hearts and give our full devotion to a king like Solomon, but far greater.

Danielle shares how God had been steadily faithful all throughout her life to save her and continually care for and provide for her.

"What it is that you are hoping will rescue you every day?"

I pray you're encouraged by this testimony of God's grace in Trygg's life.

I hear a lot about the topic of identity, but why is it actually so important?

We had a group activity to help understand how identity shapes our lives, so I've cut out the time given for group discussion so you wouldn't have to listen to minutes of silence.

If we are at war against our flesh, how can we do battle for pure hearts? How can we keep from mere "purity-betterment," but gospel transformation?

WHY should I pursue purity? Does God just tell us what to do without any good reasons for his commands?
