The Church Era
The Gospel to the Ends of the Earth!
Jesus rises. Sin is crushed. Death is dethroned. But that’s just the beginning. God’s Spirit no longer lives in temples made of stone.
His presence moves in people. His salvation isn’t just for Israel. It’s for the entire world. This is the birth of the Church, not a building, but a movement.
A family. A fire-filled force of believers, filled with the Holy Spirit, sent to unleash the gospel everywhere.
The Church Is Born
The Power of the Holy Spirit!
Before the mission begins, Jesus tells His disciples: “Wait.” They don’t need more strategy, they need power. So they wait.
Then comes Pentecost. Wind roars. Fire falls. The Holy Spirit crashes into the room, filling them with boldness, supernatural speech, and unstoppable faith.
Peter stands up, preaches Jesus with fire, and 3,000 people are saved and baptized that same day. The Church is born. And nothing can stop it.
Built on Love, Not Power
A Church Community Like No Other!
The early Church isn’t like anything the world has seen. No armies. No politics. No riches. Just faith, love, and raw Holy Spirit power.
They share their stuff. Feed the poor. Perform miracles. And tell the Jews about the Messiah they crucified.
And as they love, the Church grows. But with growth comes resistance...
Can't Stop The Gospel
Persecution and Scattering of the Church!
The religious elite flip out. Peter and John get arrested. The apostles are beaten. And Stephen, who preaches for the Jews to believe, is stoned to death by his own people.
Persecution explodes. Christians scatter. But instead of silencing the message, it spreads it.
The gospel ignites across Judea, Samaria, and beyond. Just like Jesus said it would. The enemy tries to stomp it out. But the more pressure they apply, the louder the gospel roars.
The Missionary Journeys
Taking the Gospel to the World!
Enter Saul. A persecutor. A Jewish hunter of Christians. Until Jesus knocks him flat on the road to Damascus. Saul sees the light, hears the voice, and changes in a moment.
He goes from then on as the most relentless missionary the world has ever seen. He travels nonstop, preaching, planting, suffering, enduring. Jews and Gentiles. Cities and islands. Beatings and miracles.
Paul declares the gospel: “Salvation is by grace through faith in the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Through him and the other apostles, the Church spreads like wildfire across the world.
The Letters to the Church: Strengthening the Body
Strengthening and Guiding Believers!
As the Church grows, so do the challenges. So Paul writes to seven churches, reminding them of the grace and truth he preached. He also trains leaders like Timothy and Titus to carry the mission forward.
The letter to the Hebrews speaks directly to the Jews, revealing Jesus as the fulfillment of the Law. And the apostles Peter, James, John, and Jude write with a special focus on Jewish believers, calling them to endure, believe, and follow the risen Messiah.
These letters are alive. They are the foundation to understanding the gospel of grace for the Church today.
The Church and the Future
The Grace Church and the Future!
This Era isn’t finished, we’re still in it. We are the Church. God wants us to believe in His Son whom He sent. To receive His Grace.
The gift of forgiveness and eternal life found in Jesus. But this age has a deadline. Jesus returns secretly in the clouds. The Church rises. And the world panics.
Welcome to the Church Era, a time of salvation, purpose, and unstoppable faith!
