Do you know why the top universities in the world were founded? Or why someone like Harriet Tubman risked her life to rescue slaves? In this program, guest teacher John Dickerson makes that connection for us. John’s gonna unpack the common thread that links some of history’s most notable figures and institutions.

Main Points Heroes of history who read Jesus’ words and did what it says:

Mary Moes
Founders of Massachusetts General Hospital
Johns Hopkins

A challenge to non-Christians:

Look for the people who actually do what Jesus said, not cultural Christians.

A challenge to Christians:

Do others know who you serve? What deeds are you doing that point to Jesus?

Followers of Jesus throughout history:

Devout followers of Jesus who led anti-slavery movements in history: Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, & Elijah Lovejoy
Ten out of ten leading universities were started by Christians for the purpose of teaching the Bible.
The Scientific Revolution was birthed by Christian scientists: Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, Johannes Kepler, & Robert Boyle

Did Jesus actually live?

How do we know what Jesus actually said?

There are more ancient manuscripts of the Bible than any other ancient literature in the world.

What did Jesus say?

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." -Acts 1:8

Why does Jesus’ movement keep growing?

Jesus is the only one who can: Change human nature from the inside out.
Jesus is the only one who can: Transform hearts.
Jesus is the only one who can: Reconnect us to God.
