John Wesley: The Origins of Methodism | Episode 45 | Lineage

Born in Epworth, England, in 1703, next we uncover the life of John Wesley as we unveil his life at home under strict spiritual instruction. He attended Oxford University where eventually he joined the 'Holy Club', which then went on to be named the 'Oxford Methodists'. Today, the Methodist church spans the globe, yet its birth was unintentional, and its roots go back to this Bible study group. However, some would say its roots go back even further, to the Wesley brothers’ godly upbringing in Epworth.

This gave me more information about being a Methodist. I hope to someday visit England, and stand in the spot John Wesley did at his conversion on Aldersgate Street.

[mariobelmontes]

Importante saber de dónde viene cada doctrina, y saber quién fundo el metodismo, en América estamos jodidos, porque todas las doctrinas vienen de Europa Y estados unidos, que el Espíritu Santo ayude américa, para no caer en tanta confusión, Dios bendiga a los metodistas .

[BreadLife]

How can you have missed the impact the Moravians and Zinzendorf had on Wesley?
And why havent you made a video of the people who lived in Herrnhut who sent out the first missionaries?

[rioduremdes]

[Stsebastian]

It's disturbing to see an Indian guy acting like he's English blood and lecturing about English history. Are there no more actual English people left? The Wesley's had 19 children. Now, genuine English people are having -- what, 1.3 kids? -- because of birth control. So sad.
