Learning from the Early Church The early church was an ENGAGED church. They were studying and dissecting FOR THE FIRST TIME what was called the New Testament.

There are many, many more big and important questions answered in the Bible that are not a part of mainstream discussions. Engage your mind. Engage your work. …
