Week One | I Believe
What do Christians actually believe—and how can you be confident it’s true? In Week 1 of Foundations of Faith, Pastor Samson introduces the three goals of this class: define your faith, defend your faith, and demonstrate your faith. Together, we begin walking through the Apostles’ Creed and start with the opening words: “I believe.” This session focuses on the doctrine of Scripture—why the Bible matters, how God reveals Himself through general revelation (creation and conscience) and special revelation (Jesus and God’s Word), and what it means to say the Bible is inspired, trustworthy, and authoritative for our faith and daily life. Pastor Samson also explains how we got the Bible (canon + manuscripts), why we can trust its accuracy, and how to understand different Bible translations. Key takeaway: We believe the Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) are verbally inspired by God, the revelation of God to humanity, and the infallible, authoritative rule for what we believe and how we live.
