Matthew 7:24-25

The purpose of this class is to lay a firm foundation of Bible ​teachings and principles that are essential for a lasting ​and fruitful Christian walk. For many attendees, this class ​will represent the first steps toward this foundation; for ​others it will serve as a refresher or confirmation of these ​principles.
