Learning 2024: Theology Sessions

In Acts chapter two, we see a picture of the early church after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension - these are words we have held to and pursued:

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
Acts 2:42 (NIVUK)

So, what was the apostles’ teaching?

We are going to spend the first part of 2024, dedicating ourselves to some core foundations of the early Church. To dwell in the New Testament and dig a little deeper into the gospel of Christ (kerygma) and the teachings of his earliest disciples (didache).

Next up, missiology.

missiology

(miss·ee·ol·uh·jee)

noun. the study of religious (typically Christian) missions and their methods and purposes.

Key questions: What was life like for the early church? If the Jews had strict customs and laws to set themselves apart how did the early church life a distinctive life?

About Drew Caldwell

Venue

We usually meet at Hassenbrook Academy. This month - very fittingly - we will meet in homes. We will still meet at 2.30pm but this is an important message we want to sit with and chew over as House Churches.

Locations:

•⁠ ⁠Riddles’ House: Wednesday HC (Stanford-le-Hope) & Thursday HC (Vange)

•⁠ ⁠Gjonis’ House: Thursday HC (Corringham) & Wednesday HC (Corringham)
