It has been said that it "takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian." On Sunday mornings we study the Bible verse by verse because we believe that having a firm understanding of major gospel doctrines, a knowledge of the timeline of redemptive history, and an overall grasp of entire books is an essential part of the discipleship process in a believer's life. The gospel message itself is so simple that even a child can understand, and our salvation comes through faith in Christ alone, but there is so much to gain from a careful mining of God's Holy Word after conversion.
