💁🏻 Concept: Historical Theology
Historical theology studies how believers across the centuries have understood God’s truth. It connects us to the rich heritage of faith—from the early church fathers to the reformers, from ancient creeds to modern confessions. While different eras brought different emphases, one thread remains: Christ is Lord. This discipline reminds us that we are not isolated but part of a global, timeless body of Christ that, despite differences, seeks to know and glorify the same God.

📖 Bible Readings: Ephesians 4:1-6
(John 17:20-23; Hebrews 13:7-8; Jude 1:3; Acts 2:42; 2 Timothy 2:2; 1 Corinthians 1:10)

👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:
1. Religious people tend to forget love and grace while fighting—even killing—over doctrines.
2. There is beauty in unity amidst diversity within Christianity.
3. The church must preserve the essentials of the faith through the ages. 

💪🏼 Applications:
1. Agree to disagree in love. 
2. Be gracious in non-essential doctrines.
3. Commit to the essential doctrines of the faith.   

🎙Discussion:
Why should Christians work toward unity in diversity? 

🙏🏼 Prayer:
Gracious Father, forgive us when we lose sight of love and grace while fighting over doctrines. Teach us to agree to disagree in love, to be gracious in the non-essentials, and to stand firm in the essentials of the faith. Help us see the beauty of unity in the midst of diversity. Keep us from pride, protect us from division, and lead us to pursue true unity—one that honors Christ and builds up His church. May we be faithful in preserving the core truths of the gospel and pass them on with love to the next generation. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
