The Fourfold GospelThe History of the C&MA
Why do we go to
Church?
There may be many
reasons, but going to church without the intention of worshipping Christ is
pointless. Review the “Church” lesson.
Why do we go to this church?
Why do you come to
this church rather than another church? What’s the difference? Why is there a
difference? Why is worshipping Christ here different from worshipping Christ
elsewhere? What does that mean for how we live our lives?
What is the C&MA?
How does the C&MA fit into the whole “Church History”
picture?
Who founded the C&MA? How did it it happen?
Founded by AB Simpson (1843-1919)
in 1887 as the “Christian Alliance” and the E&MA. He left the Presbyterian
church because he saw that it wanted to make a more comfortable church for
itself and had forgotten the calling to reach out to the World with the Gospel.
What is the Purpose
of the C&MA?
