They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship,
to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.
Acts 2:42 & 46
When God called Abraham (Genesis 12), He revealed His wonderful plan to redeem the human race and to win it back to Himself. He promised to bless all the families (the tribes) of the earth through Abraham’s ‘seed’, his own descendant. When Jesus redeemed humanity through his sacrificial death and resurrection, He established a new community that would unite all who believe in Him from all those tribal families into one family, as members of His Body, the Church (Ephesians 3:6,10).
The true Church of Jesus Christ is made up of believers from every tribe and nation who have put their faith in Jesus and have joined themselves together to worship God and encourage one another. We pray that as you study these lessons you will grow in your understanding of God’s design for the Church and commit to Christ’s mission of building His Church.
Lessons in this course cover the following subjects:
- The Founding of the Church
