Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 11:1

Paul said this to the believers at Corinth.

It always reminds me of a hiker, a guide, who is leading a group up a mountain.

What if the guide stops following the map?

How will the follower know to follow the map unless they, too, have a copy of the map and study it?

The officer who carried Jonathan’s armor said to him, “Do whatever you think is best. Go ahead. I’m with you.””…
…So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and feet, and his officer climbed just behind him. Jonathan struck down the Philistines as he went, and his officer killed them as he followed behind him. – 1 Samuel 14:7, 13

Jonathan’s officer knew how to fight. Jonathan’s officer had his leader’s back because he was equipped with his own sword and armor.

Are you equipped?

Do you know how to fight?

Come to church ready to pray, read, and worship.

Foundations of Faith

The basic doctrines, the foundation, of the Christian faith are the subject of this completely online Bible study course.

Foundations of Faith

There are two reasons for failure to live a victorious Christian life. The first reason is that some who are trying to live like Christians have never been born again. They do not understand the basic doctrines of Jesus Christ. The second reason for failure is not going on to spiritual maturity. The focus of this study is that  maturity.

Kingdom Living

All men live in a natural kingdom of this world. They live in a city or village which is part of a nation. That nation is a kingdom of the world. In addition to the natural kingdoms of this world there are two spiritual kingdoms which exist.

Kingdom Living

Every person alive is a resident of one of these two kingdoms: The kingdom of Satan or the Kingdom of God. This study concerns the Kingdom of God. It introduces the two spiritual kingdoms, their rulers, and residents. It provides spiritual keys for gaining access to the Kingdom of God and warns of things which result in being cast out.
