Church History - Episode 2: Growth | Pastor Lance Ralston

About this sermon

Episode 2 of our new Church History series, Pastor Lance Ralston begins with a brief look at the work of the Apostle Paul, then details the shape of the religious and philosophical world that the Gospel grew in. We take a look at the theology revealed in Peter’s sermon on the Day of Pentecost, then the growing rift between Judaism and the emerging Christian faith. We then consider some factors that saw the Church grow among Gentiles. Lance ends with a reminder that the Christian faith is rooted in evident historical events.
