Listen Later

Thanks for listening to the Greater Works Discipleship Ministries podcast. Our mission at Greater Works is to fulfill the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19) and the Great Commandment (Matt. 22:37) through the intentional education, equipping, and empowering of healthy disciples of Jesus the Christ. You can follow us Spotify, Apple Podcasts and anywhere all major platforms. Please don’t forget to share this video, rate us and please give us 5 stars…if you give us 4 stars I am inclined to believe that you are a hater and the altar is open for you!

In Session 3 of Church History we discuss how the churches respond to various persecutions from the Roman Empire. We also discuss the often misunderstood role of Constantine and how he influenced the history of Christianity. The people and events of the Council of Nicaea are discussed as well of the development of the Creed that developed. Finally, we close by looking at why many Christians became monks and nuns.

In Session 4 we discuss how the first four church councils wrestled with what Scripture teaches about the humanity and deity of Jesus. We also look at Augustine and how he stewarded the church through the fall of Rome and how Bishops such as John Chyrsotom, Leo, and the Cappadocians served the church even when earthly power had become the focus.

This teaching is part of the educational training provided for the Kingdom Fellowship of Interdependent Ministries. If you'd like more information or to obtain a copy of these slides, please visit www.greaterworksdiscipleship.com
