Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the complexity of life. Schedules, commitments, obligations, etc – they stress me out! To be certain, I have complicated my life by allowing many of these things to attach themselves to me. But I think our culture is guilty of adding a lot of stuff that stresses us too! Life is busy and fast-paced and sometimes we get to the place where we can’t figure out what life is all about. Life becomes about a lot of stuff that really is not all that important.
As Christians we must never forget Who and what life is all about. Jesus told us, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life…” (John 14:6) so that we would know how to have eternal life, but also because He wanted us to experience life here! If we are going to experience that kind of life then we need to figure out what really matters. What is it that Christians need to know so that they live full and abundant lives? We need His truth!
Every Wednesday night this Fall I am going to be taking us to the basics, the foundational truths that will help us live life to the fullest as Christians. I know I need this – I believe many of you do too! Maybe you have a friend that is struggling in their faith – or looking for faith – invite them to come with you.
I am going to teach about such things as: how we know the Bible is the Word of God, how to handle temptation and win, finding God’s will for your life, how to be filled with the Holy Spirit, how to know you have eternal security…and more!
Life is complicated, our faith doesn’t have to be! Come join me as we “Get Back to Basics” and figure out what really matters.
