VIDEO: INTRODUCING THE CHURCH OF CHRIST – RONNY WADE

In this video, Bro. Ronny Wade discusses four Bible epithets of the New Testament church. Since its founding the first century, thousands of “christian” sects have sprung up throughout the world.  Yet Christ’s original church still exists today and can be identified by its simple plan of salvation, its Scriptural form of worship and adherence to the apostolic doctrine and the heavenly code of ethics.  (This sermon is from the Let the Bible Speak TV program which was likely recorded in 1963 and aired on KY3 television in Springfield, MO.)

The Ancient Faith website is a thematic collection of scholarly yet simple Bible essays and sermons, many of which were composed by Restoration preachers such as J.W. McGarvey, Moses Lard, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Campbell. These courageous men of faith through hours of Bible investigation studied themselves out of denominationalism, asking for “the old paths” (Jer. 6:16) and seeking to return to “the faith once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). We join with these men in their fervent plea to restore “the ancient order,” “the ancient gospel” or, as it was sometimes called, “the ancient faith.”  ( Link to Church of Christ in Wynnewood)
