Spiritual maturity doesn't happen in isolation—it grows in community. In this message, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit didn't just unite people to God at Pentecost—He united people to each other. The same Spirit that filled the Early Church still calls us to connect, forgive, and grow together today. Discover why the deepest transformation happens when we make space for real relationships.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by one of the all-time great Early Church historians, Dr. James Papandrea to talk about what the Early Church really looked like. We tackle subjects like baptism, the Eucharist, the sources of authority, and the structure of the Church – from the beginning and through to today – and tackle the question of, if our current Evangelical churches don't look like the Early Church did then when, and why, did that change? It's all tough questions this week for a fantastic Church historian who is cordial, compassionate, and doesn't pull any punches.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the claim that church history overwhelmingly supports a paedobaptist view. We find that while it's true that infant baptism became the predominant practice for many centuries, the historical picture isn't quite so straightforward. What did Christians throughout history believe was happening in infant baptism? How did the earliest believers, those in the New Testament era and shortly after, understand infant baptism? Can historical evidence alone settle the baptism debate between paedobaptism and credobaptism? Join us as we explore these questions and key moments in church history to consider whether the historical argument can truly decide the debate.Resources090 - Believer's Baptism (with Bobby Jamieson)089 - Infant Baptism (with Kyle McClellan)Connect With Us providenceomaha.org | Instagram | Facebook Email Us formation@providenceomaha.org

In this episode, Mike Aquilina and Kris McGregor discuss Caiaphas and the temptation of unholy compromises. An excerpt from Villains of the Early Church: CAIAPHAS IS mentioned everywhere in the Church Fathers, but almost as furniture—“ and Jesus was brought before Caiaphas.” If the early Christian writers are interested in anything about him, it's that he could prophesy truly because of his office. Otherwise, they don't seem to find much remarkable in him. He's the banality of evil. A bureaucrat. Yet, Caiaphas, like many of the characters caught up in the Passion story, was in a complicated position—more complicated than we may realize when we hear the story in the Gospels.

Jesus is the fulfillment of all the law and prophets, and the gospel of Matthew illustrates that. Listen in to hear how!

As we enter this season leading up to Thanksgiving, Pastor Bart invites us into a journey of intentional gratitude—25 days of cultivating a thankful heart. Gratitude is not something that comes naturally to us; it's a spiritual discipline, a choice we make daily, especially when life is hard. Paul's words in 1 Thessalonians remind us to “be thankful in all circumstances,” not for all circumstances, but in them. This is God's will for us in Christ Jesus. Over these next weeks, we invite you to memorize this truth together, practice daily thanksgiving, and share our gratitude with others, both in our homes and as a church family.But gratitude is not just a seasonal exercise; it's a way of living that transforms how we walk through suffering. We live in a world that is groaning—creation itself is frustrated, our bodies break down, and pain is a reality for all of us. Paul, writing to the suffering believers in Rome, uses the metaphor of childbirth: pain and groaning are real, but they point to a coming joy. The gospel doesn't promise a pain-free life; in fact, following Jesus often brings its own cost. Yet, the gospel gives us a new perspective on pain. We are not just waiting for heaven as disembodied spirits; we are promised a future of resurrection, new bodies, and a restored creation. This hope is not just for someday, but it shapes how we endure today.In the meantime, we are not left alone. The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness, intercedes for us when we don't have words, and walks with us through every groan and sigh. God is at work, even in the mess, redeeming and orchestrating all things for our good—not just for our comfort, but to conform us to the image of Jesus. We have a choice in our suffering: to become bitter or to be transformed into grateful, hope-filled people. Communion is our reminder that even Jesus, facing betrayal and suffering, gave thanks. So, whatever you're facing, choose gratitude. Trust that God is with you, that your pain is not wasted, and that a day is coming when all things will be made new.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:57] - The Call to Gratitude: 1 Thessalonians[03:56] - Memorizing Scripture Together[05:25] - Practicing Intentional Gratitude[07:29] - Sharing Gratitude with Others[09:05] - The Gospel and Transformation[10:11] - Childbirth as a Metaphor for Suffering[14:45] - Suffering in the Early Church[19:18] - The Gospel's Impact on Everyday Life[21:45] - Heirs with Christ: Suffering and Glory[24:18] - Wrestling with Pain as God's Children[37:08] - Creation's Groaning and Future Hope[42:21] - The Promise of New Bodies[52:11] - The Holy Spirit's Help in Weakness[56:20] - God's Good Purposes in Our Pain[59:01] - Communion: Giving Thanks in Suffering[62:52] - Closing Prayer and Worship

In this video, Christian Barrett explores the earliest Christian writings outside the New Testament — The Shepherd of Hermas, The Apostles' Creed, and The Didache. Each of these ancient texts reveals what the early church believed about repentance, baptism, discipleship, and the nature of faith. Learn how early Christians practiced believer's baptism, confessed their faith through creeds, and sought holiness in a pagan world. Perfect for anyone studying early church history, patristics, Christian doctrine, or Protestant theology. Lastly, Christian highlights why Protestants should rediscover the wisdom and devotion of the early churchDiscussion Questions:1. How could the early church's writings help believers remain unified as the gospel spread across the Roman Empire?2. Tertullian said that the “Rule of Faith” came directly from the Apostles. What does this say about the continuity of the Christian faith?3. What stood out to you about the early Christian practices of baptism, fasting, or communion?4. What does the “Two Ways” (the way of life and the way of death) teach us about discipleship today?5. What do these three writings together teach us about what the early church valued most? Recommended Reading:The Shepherd of Hermas — a powerful call to repentance and purity within the churchThe Apostles' Creed — a later summary of what the earliest Christians believedThe Didache — a first-century manual for discipleship, baptism, fasting, and the Lord's Supper.00:05 – Why Early Christians Started Writing: The Birth of Church Tradition03:38 – The Shepherd of Hermas: The Most Influential Book You've Never Read06:19 – Explaining the Shepherd of Hermas: Visions, Commands, and Parables08:01 – Early Christian Teaching on Repentance and Forgiveness11:59 – The Apostles' Creed: What the First Christians Believed13:15 – The Rule of Faith: How the Church Protected Truth After the Apostles13:30 – Tertullian and the Rule of Faith: Defending the Core of Christianity18:58 – The Didache Explained: The First Christian Discipleship Manual24:00 – Believer's Baptism in the Early Church: What the Didache Reveals29:00 – Why Protestants Should Study the Early Church and Her WritingsSupport Emet Ministries, so we can continue to provide content and resources to help disciples become disciplers: https://veritas-ministry-415223.churchcenter.com/givingFor more resources, visit emetministry.org#churchhistory #EarlyChurch #Christianity #Theology #ChristianApologetics #Protestant #BibleHistory #TheDidache #ApostlesCreed #ShepherdOfHermas #AncientFaith #ChristianDoctrine

Episode 1 - Judas - "Villains of the Early Church: And How They Made Us Better Christians" In this episode, Mike Aquilina and Kris McGregor discuss the "mystery of Judas." An excerpt from Villains of the Early Church: What happened to Judas? Was it simple greed that snapped him? That seems unlikely. Thirty pieces of silver was a good bit of money, but Judas was doing all right with his embezzling racket. The Gospels don't tell us his motivation most likely because their writers just didn't know. It was a mystery to them as it is to us. And a lot of the Christian legends that later grew up about Judas seem like popular attempts to psychoanalyze him. Judas was also present for the Last Supper, having a miserable time as Jesus told the disciples that one of them would betray him: “The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born” (Matthew 26:24). John tells us that the disciple whom Jesus loved—John himself—asked Jesus who the betrayer would be. “It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it,” Jesus responded, and then dipped the morsel and handed it to Judas. Yet the others still didn't understand what Jesus meant when he said to Judas, “What you are going to do, do quickly” (John 13:26–27). Was he sending Judas out to buy more food? Or to make a donation to the poor from the money box? “So, after receiving the morsel, he immediately went out,” John says, adding the significant detail “and it was night.” Judas walked out of the Last Supper and into the very symbolic darkness (John 13:30). But he knew where to look for Jesus when he came with the police. Judas and the rest of the disciples had often been with Jesus in that pleasant park across the Kidron Valley, the garden of Gethsemane (see John 18:2; Mark 14:32). That was where Judas led the soldiers to arrest Jesus.

97% of Christians believe it is important to share their faith. 95% of Christians never lead anyone to Christ. Today Pastor Ruben finishes The Early Church with a rally call for us. If hell is at stake, we need to act like it. For those who call themselves Christians, this message is for you.

In Mark 12:28-34, Jesus describes what he regards as the greatest commandment, and in doing so, he reinforces the famous Jewish monotheistic creed. This episode explores the interaction between Jesus and a friendly scribe that results in a reaffirmation of the crucial truth that the true God, Yahweh, is only one person.

When we practice hospitality like God directs us to, He can change the course of history. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can shape culture by opening our homes and being receptive to God's instruction. He shares from the history of the early Church and how apostles like Peter and Paul practiced hospitality in ways that furthered God's mission in the earth. Pastor Allen also relates the history of World Outreach, starting with his own family's willingness to open their home to gathering, and he tells stories from the life of Corrie ten Boom, whose family's hospitality saved over 800 lives during World War II. It's rarely convenient to share your kitchen table with the community, but by practicing hospitality, we join with God in extending His Kingdom.

Patrick discusses an epistle from St. Clement of Rome from during the years of the Early Church, plus he addresses questions from listeners including: what are we supposed to do in Adoration, marriage and divorce, being non-Catholic and being saved, what are some recovery centers for those struggling with drug abuse, and is Jesus being baptized by John humiliating because Jesus had no need of Baptism? In addition, Patrick explains to Jerry why Catholics call the Pope "The Holy Father". Patrick discusses the epistle from St. Clement of Rome Linda - I was married and divorced twice.

The Church of England's Church Commissioners are ear-marking £100million (or is it £1billion?) for slavery reparations. Emeritus Professor of Moral Theology and Member of the House of Lords, Nigel Biggar says that this idea is ethically dubious and amounts to thinly-veiled self-flagellation in an effort to appear relevant to a post-Christian society in the face of the Church's dwindling numbers and influence. CofE rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk with Lord Biggar about his new book and related issues:The shady world of the Church of England's Project Spire: its methodology, processes and rationale for reparations.Historical arguments for and against reparations by the Church of England.The wider context of the ethical debate around reparations including the ubiquity of slavery, British abolitionism and the suppression of slavery, and the "riotous jungle of history".Why arguments for reparations are based on a lack of understanding of, and sympathy for, our forbears.What is the relationship of Woke orthodoxy to Christianity.The Early Church and slavery.The legality (or not) of reparations.Hopes for the new book and the future Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, vis-a-vis this issue.Find Lord Biggar's Substack 'The Biggar Picture': https://www.nigelbiggar.co.ukYou make this podcast possible.

This episode examines the writings, theology, christology, and pneumatology of the late second-century bishop, Melito of Sardis. Melito is often cited as proof of a very high christology, but did he believe in the doctrine of the Trinity? Unfortunately, Melito is not a Trinitarian; instead, he appears to subscribe to the Two-Stage Logos Theology.

What did the early church prioritize that today's church often misses? In this powerful sermon, discover how the foundational teachings of faith, the resurrection, the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus continue to hold transformative power for believers today. Pastor Duane unpacks timeless truths from Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, and other biblical texts, emphasizing the authority and salvation found in Jesus' name—a name above every name in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Through scripture like Acts 4:12, Philippians 2, and Colossians 2:15, this message explores how faith in the name of Jesus allows believers to access healing, deliverance, and victory over the enemy. Learn about the spiritual authority you've been given to resist the devil, overcome life's challenges, and step into God's purpose for your life. With real-life stories of miracles and biblical examples, this sermon serves as a timely reminder that the power of the early church is available to us today. Are you ready to deepen your faith and embrace the hope and salvation found in Jesus? Make the decision to follow Him today. Let us guide you through your next steps as you grow spiritually and walk in the authority God has given you. Be inspired, be encouraged, and remember: the mountains in your life need to hear your voice, spoken in faith through the name of Jesus.

The Church worked very hard to suppress the belief that the dead could be resurrected. They only partly succeeded. Why did the church not want the people and the ancestors to have a relationship? Well, not everyone comes back from the dead. It is written that those souls who have not integrated into the afterlife are known as the Revenant - a reanimated corpse (not a ghost), an undead being from European folklore that returns to the mortal world from the dead, often to seek vengeance or settle unfinished business. This is why Purgatory was created by the Roman Catholic church in the 13th century. There was heaven and hell, and a preserve for the aimless Revenant; this "in-between" place naturally became the residence of the dead who were not resting peacefully.

Days of Awe & the Rhythm of the Kingdom: True Readiness, Not Date-Setting – KIB 499 Description In this Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake call the Remnant back into the rhythm of the Kingdom during the Days of Awe—away from hype, date-setting, and pagan substitutes. From Matthew 24 to Numbers 10, we explore daily practices that cultivate holiness, discernment, and protection for our homes, and we address the rising chaos around Halloween and other occult seasons. This is a sober call to walk in sync with Jesus, close the doors to Babylon, and live ready. Key themes: Day of Atonement & the believer's judgment, the “wheat and tares” reality, why hyper-grace and universalism miss the mark, how feasts tune us to Heaven's cadence, and practical morning/evening prayers to guard your home.

In this fifth message from God's Power for Daily Living, Dr. Michael Youssef outlines four Biblical marks of a Spirit-filled church: it honors God's Word, gives generously, worships joyfully, and witnesses boldly. Preaching from Acts 2, Dr. Youssef exposes the dangers of emotion-driven faith and calls the Church back to the authority of Scripture. A church that forsakes Truth for entertainment or feelings will collapse. But when the Holy Spirit fills God's people, they hunger for the Word, they give freely, they worship in reverent joy, and they reach the lost daily. This is not optional—it is the Biblical pattern. A Spirit-filled life is one of obedience, sacrifice, praise, and Gospel proclamation.
