In this session, we look at how the early church (70-200 AD) practiced baptism. They followed the same pattern we found in Sessions 2-4.

This session heavily depends on the foundation of Sessions 2 and 3, especially 3. We explore baptism in the epistles, showing that the use of the word "baptism" follows the example in the gospels and the book of Acts.

In session 3, we explore baptism in the book of Acts. This is the longest session, but, in my mind, well worth the time. This information is what changed my mind on the subject.

In session 2, we go through the gospels and look into what they say about baptism.

In session 1, we talk about some background topics to the subject of water baptism, including understanding time periods in the Bible.

In this session, Will provides a summary of the whole class and a table of contents describing each session. If you want to get a quick understanding of the perspective of the seminar without listening to the whole thing, this session is for you.

The purpose of the Psalms is to relate to God on an emotional level. God desires a real relationship with His people, so we can bring our whole lives to Him, including our emotions. In this sermon, Pastor Will walks through Psalm 8, inviting us to experience the sense of wonder and awe that originally inspired King David 3,000 years ago.

Peter's story doesn't end at Pentecost with a big megachurch and a book deal. In fact, his role changes dynamically over the rest of his life. And by the end of his life, when he's writing the letters we now have in our Bibles, he's sharing the most distilled versions of the teachings he had received and practiced for years. Peter is an amazing example of a faithful minister.

Peter's story as portrayed in scripture seems larger than life at times, just like a fishing story. But unlike the fishing stories your dad may have told you growing up, Peter's story really happened. Join Amanda Dunn as she weaves her way through Peter's early years of discipleship to Jesus. As you do, you will find plenty to learn from and apply to your own discipleship journey.

What did Peter go through in the last days before Pentecost? What would it have been like to be a part of the early Jesus movement after Jesus's ascension? In this sermon, Pastor Will walks through the first few chapters of Acts, showing that the earliest disciples helped the new generation learn to follow Jesus well in community.
