Church History Podcast: Recent Episodes
First Covenant Church
~60 min class time with Pastor Kevin Wright discussing the History of the Church within the context of the history of the world. Listen as they discuss how the Church developed and how it affected the world in the process (and how it was affected by the world in return). Make connections on how history repeats itself -- how we can learn from that, and how we tend to make the same mistakes people made in the past. This series was originally presented with PowerPoint slide shows. Unfortunately, recordings were not started until the 8th century. Slides from all the lessons can be found here: http://www.firstcovenant.net/church-history-notes
