Foreword: (Why it's good to start with the basics)
Ladies, I realize that many of us are on
different levels on our journey with Christ. Some of us may be very strong
and mature Christians and others of us are new to the faith and would love to
learn from the mature Christians. I personally feel that I fall in between
these two categories, but I know also that God has given me a gift to teach
His word in simplicity and understanding. In teaching, I find that I learn so
much, so teaching these lessons are serving a two fold purpose for me. For
that reason, this first lesson of a six part series is a basic review of the
foundational principles of Christianity. Though you may be tempted to skip
Lesson #1, I ask that you don't for several reasons. First of all, even if
for review only, meditating on the basics on what we believe as Christians is
always helpful for our walk in Christ. Secondly, after reading Lesson #1 you
may find that it might be helpful to pass this information along to a new
Christian or an unbelieving friend. Thirdly, if we are all on the same page,
it will be easier to progress linearly in this lesson and to understand where
we are going as a group.
If you are a new Christian I
believe this first lesson will help to keep you grounded in what's important
in our faith. This first lesson will serve as a catalyst for all the lessons
to come and you will have a better foundation if you start here.
To all newcoming members of Christian Ladies Connect, I would
strongly encourage to start from the beginning.
Okay! That said, and all housekeeping out of the way...we can
proceed.
Let's say a prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you
for this time we are able to come together and study your Word. We realize
that there is no distance in You, and that our hearts and souls all connect
in You. For those of us who need to grow stronger in You, or meet You for the
first time, I pray that these lessons will be eye-openers and words of truth
and encouragement that will bring conviction and correction, life, peace,
knowledge, and joy in You, Jesus. For those of us who already know You but
need a faith-booster, I ask that You will bring clarity and spiritual
precision in our lives. Let us know who we are in You, and never forget!
I know that without You I am
nothing, Lord, and I pray that You will give me the words to say (type) and
that your anointing will touch all those who study
Your truths in these lessons.
In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
