Over the next several weeks we are going to be taking a look at 8 key elements of the Christian faith. Some may disagree with my list, but this is not an end all be all list. These are what I see as 8 key elements of a Christians faith. There are many other elements to our faith, we are just looking at these 8. If teenagers don't have a good understanding of these they have an 80% higher probability to walking away from their faith after high school and never returning. That number freaks me out. That is why we are looking at them. So here is the list:
1) Jesus Christ lived a sinless life
2) God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe and He still rules it today
3) Salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned
4) Satan is real
5) A Christian has a responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people
6) The Bible is accurate in all of the principles it teaches.
7) Unchanging moral truth exists
8) Such moral truth is defined by the Bible
Like I said, over the next few months we are going to be looking into this during Revolution, Sunday's 9:15-10:15am @ the Youth Center. I look forward to unpacking these topics with you there and here at the blog.
Blessing,
Pastor Scott
