History's Heroes

A one-year Church History survey course for 7-8 grade focusing on faithful men and women who served the Lord Jesus Christ

Pick up a textbook on World History and you will find one major recurring theme. Such and such a nation rose to power. And the same nation eventually declined into obscurity. And then another nation or kingdom rose to power. And it too declined, and it became another footnote on the pages of history.

The story of Christ's kingdom is very different. Nations rise and nations fall. But the kingdom of Jesus lasts forever. During Jesus' earthly ministry, He gave His disciples a promise. This was a promise of the church's victory over the forces of evil. In Matthew 16:18, we read:

'And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.' (Matthew 16:18)

Become a front-row spectator in this grand triumph of God's people against Satan's kingdom. And even though the church faces persecution, suffering, and sometimes even a decline in numbers, the kingdom of Christ marches on. The gates of Hell will not be able to prevail against the onslaught of Christ and His disciples against the forces of spiritual darkness.
