Scripture Reference: Matthew 25:1-13

Sermon Points:
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.
