The Fundamentals of the Faith series contains eight basics doctrines of the Christian faith that will help every Christian to have a stronger faith and deeper appreciation for God and His Word.
Good Doctrine
May 24, 2022 • The Gospel of Christ
In John 7:17, Jesus said, "If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine whether I speak on my own authority or whether it is from God." Jesus, in this passage, told us the importance of good doctrine and making sure that what we're following is from God not from man.
Welcome to our study of the fundamentals of the Christian faith. In this series of lessons, we're going to be talking about and thinking from the Scripture about some basic Christian doctrine that every person wants to
know about and live according to the word of God in their life.
In this lesson, we're thinking about the idea of good doctrine. Jesus said the importance of following His doctrine is that anyone who wants to do God's will, must know where the teaching is coming from. He needs to know that it's from God and not from man, John 7:17.

Plan of Salvation

The Church
May 24, 2022 • The Gospel of Christ
Jesus said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be torn down or thrown into the fire," Matthew 15:13.
Welcome to our study of Fundamentals of the Faith, as we're thinking about the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. As Jesus said, every plant that is planted is not from God. Some are going to be cut down and thrown into the fire. Jesus wasn't talking about trees or plants, really, for in the next statement He says of the Pharisees and their religion. They're blind leaders of the blind, and if the blind lead the blind, they both fall into the ditch.
Jesus was talking about religious groups started by men. How do we know what religious group is from God? How do we know what church is the church of the New Testament? And what can we do to make sure that
we're right with God? We live in a world that says, it really doesn't even matter today. You can do whatever you want, and that's fine. Today, we're going to consider what the Bible teaches about the New Testament church.

The Grace of God
May 24, 2022 • The Gospel of Christ
"For by grace are you saved through faith." Ephesians 2:8.
Welcome to our study of the subject of grace in our series of lessons on "Fundamentals of the Christian Faith." Today, we're thinking about one of the premier subjects of the faith, and that is grace. God's grace is so
important in salvation, and we want to consider its role and what it is and is not today.
What is grace? What is grace's role in salvation? What does the Bible teach on this very important subject? Every Christian should be thankful for the grace of God!

The Holy Spirit
May 24, 2022 • The Gospel of Christ
In response to Paul's question about the Holy Spirit, some of John's disciples said, "We've not even heard as to whether there is a Holy Spirit." In essence, they said, ‘Holy Spirit, what is the Holy Spirit?’ And from that
question and that idea is such an important question for us to consider today. What do we know from the Bible about the Holy Spirit of God?

Defending the Faith
May 24, 2022 • The Gospel of Christ
In Jude 3, Jude said, "Though I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith."
Welcome to our study of the fundamentals of the Christian faith. Just as Jude said in the verse that we just noted, sometimes it's necessary for Christians to defend the Christian faith. In this lesson, we want to consider defending some of the fundamentals of the Christian faith, and we're going to do that in a spirit of love and kindness.

We're so glad that you've joined us today for a study of singing and music in Christian worship. What does the Bible say? What does the New Testament teach about singing? What does it teach about Christian music in worship? In this lesson, we want to think about God's word and its teaching on this issue.
