The First Christians
Monday, October 31, 2011

Dr. Robert Jeffress' claim that Governor Romney was not a "Christian" ignited a firestorm of accusations and grabbed the latest political news cycle. What do we mean today when we call someone a "Christian?"  Where did the term come from and what did it mean in the 1st Century?  Before we join the shouting match, why not open up to Acts 11, and let's examine the first time the label "Christian" was used.

About Truth Encounter

Truth Encounter seeks to help you hear the voice of Jesus Christ and get close to Him through the teaching of the Bible. Dave Wyrtzen will help you understand how Jesus Christ can transform your life not just on Sunday morning, but in the reality of your Monday through Saturday life.

About Dave Wyrtzen

Above everything else Dave Wyrtzen is a pastor-teacher. In 1973 he sat together with about sixteen others in a small town thirty miles southwest of Dallas. These sixteen wanted someone to simply open up the pages of Scripture on a Sunday morning, help them to hear the truth, and then train them on how to live it in the marketplace. Dave is still their pastor-teacher and Midlothian Bible Church has grown into a mature church.The Spirit of God has used this church family to generate several other churches in the southwest section of Dallas.

He received both his Th M and Th D from Dallas Seminary and is an adjunct faculty member for the Seminary. Dave speaks regularly for Bible Conferences and in many foreign countries. Dave's greatest joy is his wife, Mary, their eight children (counting spouses) and eight grandkids. His life goal is to communicate God's truth through the power of the Spirit in practical, and skillful ways. Since 1973 Dave has faithfully pastored in Midlothian and through Truth Encounter we invite you to join us for his unique depth, passion, and practicality. This Bible teaching is rooted in solid study but lives in the office, classroom, and ball field.
