Every person has a theology: a system of beliefs about God that drives their actions, emotions, and relationships with others. Even if they can’t articulate it exactly (or believe there is no God), their choices and attitudes reveal what they believe.

This weekly series aims to help you understand what God says about Himself more simply and clearly. For He calls His people to live by faith in Christ practically, with confidence, and joy.

We will consider simple methods of how to inherit God’s Word for yourself, including example studies through shorter books of the Bible. We will also look at 8 “P”s of the gospel – basic themes about Christ that run from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 – and other studies about the Lord God (theology) in Scripture.

“but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, ” (1 Peter 3:15)
