Digging into the Essentials of the Bible, or the doctrines (foundational beliefs) that make up our faith as Christians isn’t easy, but it is worth our time. We’ve seen that it helps prepare us for the job God has called us to (as we share the gospel and make disciples) and gives us deep roots, or a firm foundation, for our faith.

SCRIPTURES
Isaiah 40:12-14 | Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers?

Psalm 147:5 | How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!
Genesis 1:1 | In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
