The Church: Visible & Authoritative Karlo Broussard In response to the common errors about the Church among many Christians today, Karlo proves from the Sacred Page that the Church of the 1st century established by Jesus Christ was not merely an invisible group of believers who possessed equal authority but a community with visible leaders exercising a divine authority over the People of God to lead them to the truth. Karlo gives the biblical evidence that Jesus Christ did in fact establish an infallible magisterium to which all Christians must submit out of obedience to Christ. |

Apostolic Succession: “Let Another Take His Office” (Acts1:20) Karlo Broussard Karlo tackles the most important question in all of Protestant and Catholic debates, “Did the apostolic authority continue?” Contrary to what many Christians believe, Karlo gives both implicit and explicit evidence that the authority given to the apostles by Christ to teach and govern in the Church did not cease with the death of the last apostle, John, but was communicated to other men outside the original twelve apostles. After establishing the biblical revelation of apostolic succession, Karlo builds the bridge from the 1st century to present day Christianity and identifies in the Catholic Church the original Church established by Jesus Christ. |

Truth Or Consequences Tim Staples In this talk, Tim teaches on the importance of the infallible Magisterium of the Church. Tim uses three examples in the arena of faith, and two examples from the arena of morals to show not only why the Magisterium is crucial for the salvation of souls, but what the consequences are when the Magisterium is absent. All are guaranteed to leave this talk with both a greater sense of gratitude for the gift of the teaching Church and a greater desire to share this great gift with others as well. |
