data-end=\"451\">Usually we gather on the first Sunday of each month to study an essential doctrine of the Christian faith. Using this book as a starting point and (incorporating other relevant material) we learn and discuss with the focus of applying these teachings to our personal lives and with those we lead and shepherd in the local church.<\/p><p data-start=\"453\" data-end=\"1143\">Not every Christian needs to go to seminary, but there are certain teachings of the Bible that every Christian should know. Whether you\u2019re a relatively new believer in Jesus or a mature Christian looking for a better understanding of the basics of the faith, Christian Beliefs is for you. This readable guide to twenty basic Christian beliefs condenses Wayne Grudem\u2019s award-winning book Systematic Theology, prized by pastors and teachers everywhere. He and his son, pastor Elliot Grudem, have boiled down the essentials of theology for everyday Christians and made them both clear and applicable to life. Each brief chapter concludes with questions for personal review or group discussion.In this revised and updated edition of Christian Beliefs, you will learn about:<\/p><ul data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1601\"><li data-section-id=\"smcoyb\" data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1270\">The Bible and its authority for our lives<\/li><li data-section-id=\"2oijdm\" data-start=\"1271\"

data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1378\">Angels and the reality of spiritual warfare<\/li><li data-section-id=\"rz4igq\" data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1436\">What it means that we are created in the
