Sure Foundations for Making Strong Christians
Bible Truths for Life and Eternity

There are major bible truths which provide a sure foundation for the Christian’s walk in this life and with a view to eternity. Without question, every portion of the bible is divinely inspired truth and contains important revelations of God’s mind and His divine purposes.

However, from among the huge variety of edifying Scripture themes, there are some topics which are timeless bible study foundations — that is, truths that should be central to the experience of every Christian.

Pastor Jim Feeney draws upon 35 years of Christian ministry experience to offer a focused collection of bible studies and sermon outlines that will help provide the reader this “sure foundation” of Scriptural bedrock in his or her life. A case could certainly be made for the addition of more themes. But the bible truths offered below will certainly give the sincere seeker a great running start at building a walk with God that is strong and secure.

Such a Great Salvation! — What the bible calls "salvation" includes being born again. But it also includes healing, deliverance, preservation, and more.

Only One Way to God — Do "all roads lead to God"? No! The bible reveals a singular pathway to eternal life.

Who Is Jesus Christ? — If, as Scripture declares, Jesus is the only Savior, it is eternally important to understand who Jesus is!

Jesus Christ Is Lord of All — Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and ascended back to heaven, where He reigns as absolute Lord over this earth.

The Name of the Lord Jesus Christ — The Name of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, gives victory over sin, sickness, demons, and death.

Jesus Heals Today — God is a Healer. Jesus, the Son of God, is a Healer. And He heals not just in the bible; Jesus heals today.

Pentecostal Beliefs — Much that passes today for being "Pentecostal" does not resemble biblical Pentecostal beliefs and practice.
