Part 1. AD 30 - AD 400. How The Church Captured The World An intensive look at the Christian Church down the ages, providing powerful messages for our own times.  Many church members know little or nothing about the story of Christianity between the New Testament period and today.  They therefore may not realise how much they have been influenced by traditions developed during that time. These can have both a negative and positive benefit. Negative, because ‘those who forget history are condemned to relive it’. Most of the mistakes we make and errors we fall into have happened before and we can learn from our forefathers to avoid them. Positive, because we have such a rich heritage it would be folly to ignore. We can draw inspiration and examples from the spiritual giants who went before us and, after all, we can look forward to meeting them personally in glory.

Part 10. X The Centre of Christianity, Year and Zeal of The Lord An opinion poll in Britain found that around two-thirds of the population claimed to ‘believe in God’.  To understand the significance of this fact, further questions should have been asked: ‘which god?’; and, ‘what sort of god?’ The first was necessary because of the influx of immigrants with other religions. The second was necessary because even among Christians opinions vary about the kind of God they worship. While David was preparing this series of sermons on God’s multifaceted character, he hit on the idea of linking divine attributes to the letters of the alphabet, hoping thereby to make it easier for his listeners to remember them. All went well until the letter ‘X’. Whether this was dealt with satisfactorily you can to decide.

Making Disciples - No Tracks When God numbered Israel he counted the men over twenty who were able to fight. When Jesus began to build his church He chose twelve men, most of whom worked with their hands. The New Testament letters are all addressed to ‘brothers’. Yet many churches today resemble lifeboats, saving women and children first.   What went wrong? How can it be put right? Why is it easier to get women converted than men? What are the differences between men and women? Is a man’s daily work a necessary evil or his full-time Christian service? How can we disciple men today? These and many other questions about the roles and responsibilities of men are answered by David Pawson, who for some years has been leading seminars for men in this country and overseas under the banner of ‘Men for God’.
