BIG Idea

“Faith in Jesus Christ is the belief that Jesus is the Messiah, the one promised by God and revealed in his Word. Faith results in a desire to trust, obey, and worship Jesus wholeheartedly.” 

Weekly Bible Passage and Monthly Memory Verse

Passage: Galatians 2:15-21

Monthly Memory Verse: “31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.” (Romans 8:31-34)
