The Offensive Church - Breaking...

Bryan C. Loritts

Crises around race have put the church in a defensive posture, always reacting to racial conflicts in society. But Jesus wants more. He wants Christians to play offense by discipling people into a new humanity, where we push beyond mere diversity and into a biblical vision for ethnic unity. 
 
 
 
Bryan Loritts calls Christians to proactively and intentionally live out the embodied reality of a people at one with one another. We play offense by practicing a robust gospel, preparing reliable leadership, and providing relational environments so that the church becomes the aroma of Christ to our culture and gains ground against the demonic foothold of racism in all its forms.

The Very First Bible

Marcion of Sinope

If you're not reading the same bible as the first Christians in AD 144 you're reading just another book. The first Christian bible is not only the foundation of faith that virtually every denomination traces its canonical roots back to - it's also the only place you'll find the gospel preached by Paul the Apostle that he specifically references numerous times: "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." (Galatians 1:8-9). In addition to the Gospel of the Lord you'll also listen to their original, unedited form Galatians, 1st and 2nd Corinthians, Romans, 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, Laodiceans, Colossians, Philemon, and Philippians. That is the entirety of the first Christian bible as it was gathered and transcribed in AD 144 and as it is now.
Numbered sections and verses in standard bible format. The Very First Bible also acts as a cryptographic key, allowing us to see which scriptures were edited and added as it ballooned from one gospel and 10 books into 73 books and four gospels over time. For the first time you will listen to the first Christian bible exactly as it was transcribed in AD 144 and one of the first things you'll notice is that it doesn't contain the Torah* (Old Testament). You will listen to the original Gospel of the Lord that was preached by the Apostle Paul and scriptures reveal God through Jesus, as it happened. The original prologues for each epistle are also included.
