Essential Doctrines of the Faith
Stewardship: God Gives
God expects us to be stewards. He provides for us financially so that we can use those resources as stewards.
Join us this week to learn how God wants us to use our money.
Worship: God’s Glory
Worship is such a huge part of our faith, yet so many in the Bible have blurred the lines between worship and idolatry. How should we worship while staying on the right side of that line?
The Church: God Sends
What is a church? Is it a building? Is it a collection of believers? Why do churches exist?
Join us this week to find out more about the reason for the church, what part it should play in our lives, and what part we should play in the life of the church.
The Resurrection: God’s Salvation
As Christians, we often focus the life and death of Jesus Christ. We try to be more like Jesus (WWJD). We honor His sacrifice. There's one very important part of the story that we, as humans, can't achieve: He defeated death.
The Cross: God Dies
The doctrine of the crucifixion of Jesus paramount to Christian faith. But, crucifixion was not a punishment reserved for Christ alone. What is it about this crucifixion that is different from the rest?
The Incarnation: God Relates
The doctrine of incarnation explains God becoming flesh, coming to us as a human in the form of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The Covenant: God’s Pursuit
A covenant, in its most basic form, is an agreement. It's a deal between two or more parties.
What was the agreement? Have we held up our end of the deal?
The Fall: God’s Judgement
What is sin?
Why does sin exist?
How does our understanding of sin affect they way we, as Christians, live our lives?
Image: God’s Mirror
We have been made in God's image.
That's a strong statement.
The fact that we are made in the image of God means that we are set apart from the creatures and other living things, but it also means we have extra responsibility. Just like children are often seen as a reflection of their parents, we are a reflection of God.
Creation: God Makes
Believe it or not, there are different perspectives on creation (even among Christians).
What does creation mean to you? How well does it match up to what the Bible tells us? How does our belief affect our lives?
Revelation: God Speaks
So often, we pray for guidance and counsel from God and listen intently for his answer. Just as often, we hear an answer and wonder: Did we hear Him correctly? Are we understanding Him accurately? Is it really Him speaking to me?
The Trinity: God Is
We begin this week with the often-misunderstood doctrine of the Trinity. What is it and what does it mean for our faith?
