The Gospel and Church History

You don't have to look very far to find people claiming the name of Jesus involved in horrible things. Recent church history includes sex scandals, child abuse, and a long list of fallen leaders. The longer term story of Christianity includes the church's involvement in slavery, the Crusades, the Holocaust, and the Spanish Inquisition. This can be a major source of doubt for outsiders wondering if the King we serve is real if his followers are so messed up. Today we will talk about some ways we can answer this question and still point to the hope found in Jesus and the good work He does through His people.
