Church History - Episode 4: Persecution | Pastor Lance Ralston

About this sermon

Moving on from the previous episode where we look at the growing hostility of officials towards The Church, this 4th episode looks at the outbreak of persecution under various Emperors - from Nero in AD 64, to Diocletian in the early 4th century. We end with a brief lesson on how the Gospel makes God’s people counter-cultural, whatever that culture happens to be.
