Who: Anyone, New Believers

When: Wednesdays following Praise and Worship

Starting: Wednesday, October 25th

Length: 6 weeks, Skipping November 22nd

Location: Living Word Muskegon - Conference Room

About: Believers need a strong foundation. Jesus taught us about the importance of building our foundation upon the rock so that when the storms of life arise, we will not be washed away in the floods of crisis, disaster, and despair.

Jesus teaches us that this foundation is based upon His words. He said that those who hear and do His words are like a house founded upon the rock. But those who are hearers only and don’t do as He teaches, are like a house built upon shifting sands: uncertain, weak, and easily wiped out in a storm.

These are the six foundations of Christianity and it is these that all Christians need to understand and hold onto firmly if they are to grow to maturity and strength in Jesus Christ. These foundations are just a beginning, but they will help you to stand firm against the storms of this life. (Hebrews 6:1-2)
