Foundations of Faith: Baptism and Confession

Sundays 8:45 am

In today’s world, you face many challenges. How can you live up to God’s plan for your life? How can you be built up as you seek to live your Christian faith in your home, your work and among your friends and family? The answer? It all goes back to the basics. It goes back to what God gives to you through Baptism and His Word. Through these gifts God’s builds your faith and gives you Jesus.

In this class, we will focus on the following:

You are baptized. What does that mean and what does that mean for your day to day living? You confess your sins every weekend in church and receive forgiveness. How does that help you as you live your life the rest of the week?

What you will learn: In this class we will study various accounts from the Bible upon which speak about these gifts of God to us. We will also look at Luther’s Catechism and tie it all together.

What you will take home: You will learn to appreciate all the more the gifts God has given you in Baptism and Confession/Absolution. You will grow in your faith and see how these gifts strengthen you as you live day by day in Jesus. You will be equipped by God’s Word to live as the child of God that He has made you.
