8.1.21 – "I Believe in God"
Faith in God is not a guess, an opinion, or a leap in the dark! We have sound reasons to believe He exists and that He made the world in which we live. Faith in God is not merely an intellectual matter, but one that we live for Him.
8.8.21 – "I Believe in Christ"
Our calendars date from the birth of Christ, and historians regard Him as the most influential person who ever lived. Was Christ merely a man or a prophet, or was He more than that? We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God!
