William Farel: The Ultimate Fighter of the Reformation | Church History 95

About this sermon

Pastors: Join Lance on an exclusive Church History tour of Continental Europe (Registration ends soon!) - https://christianexpedition.com/tour/11125/ In this episode, we explore the explosive life of William Farel—the fiery red-bearded pioneer who blasted open the doors of the Reformation in French-speaking Switzerland. From idol-smashing confrontations to citywide debates and near-death encounters, Farel’s fearless zeal prepared the ground for Calvin’s later work in Geneva. He was the Reformation’s battering ram, the man who cleared the way so others could build. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙃𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮?
