Foundations 3: Conflict & the Church | Les Newsom

The doctrine of the church unfolds from the very beginning of God’s plan of redemption. Mankind experiences the effects of ongoing sin, presenting itself most clearly in our relationships. The Gospel is here to restore us, not as isolated individuals on our way to heaven when we die, but as a body of people who are united together as God’s people. This class will feature the doctrine of the church and consider the topic of marriage, parenting, & conflict management among church members.

Church | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Genesis 17:1-14

God is now ready to mark Abram out as a unique family of God, his agents of transformation in a broken world. But the manner and means that he does that will strike many as bizarre, but when you understand the meaning of circumcision, the purpose of the church emerges.

Sermon Points:

  • Be Blameless
  • Apply the Sign
  • Become the “Father of Many Nations”

Grace | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Genesis 15:1-17
As God makes big promises to Abram, the patriarch asks a perfectly natural question, “How can I know this is all going to work out.” God’s response to that simple question results in one of the most astounding passages in all of Scripture, and the key to what we mean by “grace.”

Sermon Points:

  • The Promise
  • The Response
  • The Grace
