The Historical Elephant
Really excited about this weekend. We're wrapping up The Elephant in the Church with the historical elephant. Most Christians have no idea where we come from or how we got here. There is very little knowledge of or appreciation for Christian history. And that is dangerous. In the words of George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Excited about showing the video we shot at the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany.
PS. Love to see hundreds of churches do The Elephant in the Church series. All of our graphics, trailers, are transcripts are free. Take them. Use them. Do it better than we did it. And then share it with others!

thank you for giving some emphasis to church history. i just posted about the in the last week or two. there are two posts that can be viewed at http://wjcollier3.blogspot.com/2008/10/christian-history-part-1.html and at http://wjcollier3.blogspot.com/2008/11/christian-history-part-2.html

Mark,
You did a great job with this stuff. Thanks for your leadership and constantly living on the edge. You set a great standard.

The best theological insight I ever received came from studying Church History. Many (if not all) disputes we have today have been fought at some other time. It is amazing how much we could learn.
Mark,
Thanks for sharing your content for this series. We did an Elephant in the Church series a couple months ago that talked about:
The Legalistic Elephant
The Sexy Elephant
The Guilty Elephant
The Practically Atheistic Elephant
Great series...we've share your site as well as the one we created for the series with about 40 other churches so far...Not sure if you'll continue to open source your series, but we definitely appreciate the ones you do.

I found the webpage with the videos of you messages - is there somewhere we can get the 'graphics' and 'transcripts'.
Thanks
We're going to add videos, graphics, transcripts, etc ASAP! Sorry for the delay.
