Can I come to church despite my sins? How can I forgive others? Where should I start in my Bible? How can I know if I'm really forgiven and saved?
During his ministry with the Potter's House Community Fellowship Church in Lewisburg, Tennessee, associate pastor David Kirscht has heard these questions many times. These are some of the most frequently asked questions new and returning Christians have.
Kirscht also knows that there are many life-long Christians who don't feel equipped to answer these questions themselves. He hopes that this new, easy to read guide to basic Christian principles and fellowship will help all who long for a deeper connection and understanding but remain unsure of how to take those next steps.
In this simple, easy-to-understand guide, Kirscht covers questions about the following topics:
- Bible study
- forgiveness
- redemption
- the church community
- fellowship
- discipleship
- prayer
- your relationship with Jesus Christ
Don't let a few simple questions hold you back from a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. He welcomes you with open arms and longs for you to know Him better. Taking these next steps toward understanding will lead to a new, spiritually abundant chapter in your life.
