In our current series of talks through the book of Galatians, Pastor Nate has highlighted the truth that we are, “not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.” (Galatians 2:16)

Faith is what opens the door for us to know God, and faith is what enables us to grow in the knowledge of God. This knowledge is not only mental understanding. It is to know God personally and experientially. Only through faith in Christ is this amazing reality possible.

So we want to grow in faith so that we can know more of God. In order for faith to grow, it has to have firm foundation. Otherwise, the growth that occurs will not be supported.

In the same way that a tree needs a strong root system to grow tall and strong, our faith needs a firm foundation upon which to grow. As it says in Psalm 11:3, “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

We want to make sure that our foundations are strong in the faith, so in order to help make them as strong as possible, this spring we are offering a class on Sabbath mornings at 9:00 a.m. called appropriately, “Foundations of Faith.”

The class starts on March 12^th and goes for 5 weeks, finishing on April 9^th.

Who should attend this class?

• If you are new in your faith, this class is for you!
• If you are not new to the faith, but feel like you would like a refresher, this is for you!
• If you feel like your foundation of faith is strong, but you would like to bring someone new in the faith or be available to encourage others in their faith, this class is for you!
• If you are considering church membership, this class is a requirement in order to be considered for membership. This class is for you!

Some of the questions that you can expect us to address include: What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? What’s the difference between God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? What are spiritual gifts and how can I know what mine are? What are the vision and values of our church family?

If you have any questions about the class, please be sure to reach out to Pastor Nate. This will be an exciting opportunity to grow deep so that we can grow strong in Christ!
