The Church Did NOT Fall Apart After the Apostles | David Bercot

David Bercot closes this Encounter series by challenging one of the most common assumptions in modern Christianity: that the church fell apart almost immediately after the apostles died. Drawing from Scripture, early Christian history, the Apostles’ Creed, and the pre-Nicene witness, Bercot explains why the early church should not be dismissed as apostate and why the post-Nicene mindset changed how Christians think about creeds, councils, authority, doctrine, and fellowship. This message also asks what issues are truly worth “dying on a hill” for, how Christians should correct error without becoming harsh or judgmental, and why the lifestyle teachings of Jesus must remain central to the historic faith.
