This research project’s contention is that mega churches have wrestled uniquely, (and perhaps more in some cases), to define a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ and provide a church setting consistently encouraging and facilitating Christian maturity. Among independent Christian churches, at least, the growing number of mega churches heightens this concern and begs for better understanding and progress.
Christian education, one of the key ministries of the church, looks to the Bible, to theology, to Christian history, and to Christian experience for the content of its teaching. It has a heritage of Christian truth to receive, understand, and transmit. It is also responsible to nurture Christian faith in persons to whom it ministers. It is Christian education.
Welcome to Bible Studies for Children: Acts! In this collection of biblical studies, the children learn about how Jesus’ disciples spread God’s love to the whole world! The Book of Acts was written by a doctor named Luke who travelled with Paul on his journeys. The Book of Acts tells about Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, the gift of the Holy Spirit and the beginning of the Church. It even tells when and where the word Christian was first used. Acts tells us how Christians today can continue to spread the good news about God’s love.
