Course Description:
This four week course focuses on the fundamental beliefs central to Christianity, as well as the common heresies that arise when these fundamental beliefs are not properly understood. Christian leaders are entrusted with understanding and defending the core beliefs of Christianity. Safeguarding the Church from harmful doctrine is a crucial responsibility. We need to have a thorough understanding of our core beliefs and be able to guide and teach others. How can we proclaim the truth if we don't fully comprehend our central beliefs as leaders in the Church?
TUE 7PM EST/WED 9AM AEST
About Jim Riley:
I have been a follower of Christ for 32+ years, having given my life back to Christ at 31. I was reared in the Presbyterian faith but didn't take it seriously as a child and teen. When I did come back to the Lord, I was serious about the my faith and have been ever since. My wife and I served as missionary associates for 13 months in Temuco, Chile, South America. Since stateside, we have raised our daughter who's a junior in college, and I have retired as a bachelor's degree trained Registered Nurse. My wife and I for the last 10 years have hosted a bible study in the home of a friend of ours. We are connected to the Well in Maryville, Tennessee wherein I have received my license as a minister of the gospel. We attend the Well in Inez, Kentucky, an offshoot of that in Maryville. Jesus has called me to be one of His 5-fold teachers, a divine privilege and sobering responsibility. According to James the apostle, teachers will be judged more strictly. (James 3:1) My deepest desire is to instill a hunger for God's word in His people.
