Lesson 1 | Christians Taking Sides
Should Christians Study Doctrinal Issues?
Knowing what we believe and teach is essential for Christians. In order to form a firm foundation for what God wants on any doctrinal issue, we must understand the importance of four concepts: authority, truth, doctrine and tradition. This lesson explores these four concepts as it introduces our approach to dealing with doctrinal issues in the church today.
