WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE — AND WHY?

In this Sunday School lesson, Pastor Ed Decker takes us back to the foundation of our faith: understanding what we believe and why we believe it. What is doctrine? What is theology? And why does it matter that Christians know what the Bible actually teaches? Our faith is not built upon tradition, personal opinion, or simply what someone else has told us. God has given us His Word so that we can know what He teaches and be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is within us. In this lesson, we will examine the meaning of doctrine and theology and consider why every believer should have a biblical foundation for what he believes. "Be ready always to give an answer…" — 1 Peter 3:15
