1 Timothy 3:15
but if I am delayed, I write so that
you may know how you ought to
conduct yourself in the house of
God, which is the church of the
living God, the pillar and ground of
the truth.

Foundation
Support
1 Corinthians 3:10-13
According to the grace of God given
to me, like a skilled master builder I
laid a foundation, and someone else
is building upon it. Let each one
take care how he builds upon it.
[11] For no one can lay a foundation
other than that which is laid, which
is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:10-13
Now if anyone builds on the
foundation with gold, silver,
precious stones, wood, hay, straw—
[13] each one’s work will become
manifest, for the Day will disclose
it, because it will be revealed by fire,
and the fire will test what sort of
work each one has done.
2 Peter 1:5-11
For this very reason, make every
effort to supplement your faith with
virtue, and virtue with knowledge,
[6] and knowledge with self-control,
and self-control with steadfastness,
and steadfastness with godliness,
[7] and godliness with brotherly
affection,
2 Peter 1:5-11
and brotherly affection with love.
[8] For if these qualities are yours
and are increasing, they keep you
from being ineffective or unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ. [9] For whoever lacks these
qualities is so nearsighted that he is
blind,
2 Peter 1:5-11
having forgotten that he was
cleansed from his former sins. [10]
Therefore, brothers, be all the more
diligent to make your calling and
election sure, for if you practice
these qualities you will never fall.
2 Peter 1:5-11
For in this way there will be richly
provided for you an entrance into
the eternal kingdom of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.

1 John 5:4 For everyone who has
been born of God overcomes the

has overcome the world— our faith.

The Deity Of Christ
Matthew 1:20-23
Matthew 3:16-17
John 20:30-31
Matthew 1:20-23
But as he considered these things,
behold, an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream, saying,
“Joseph, son of David, do not fear to
take Mary as your wife, for that
which is conceived in her is from the
Holy Spirit. [21] She will bear a son,
Matthew 1:20-23
and you shall call his name Jesus, for
he will save his people from their
sins.” [22] All this took place to fulfill
what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet: [23] “Behold, the virgin
shall conceive and bear a son, and
they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us).
Matthew 3:16-17
And when Jesus was baptized,
immediately he went up from the
water, and behold, the heavens were
opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of
God descending like a dove and
coming to rest on him; [17] and
behold, a voice from heaven said,
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I
am well pleased.”
John 20:30-31
Now Jesus did many other signs in
the presence of the disciples, which
are not written in this book; [31]
but these are written so that you
may believe that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of God, and that by
believing you may have life in his
name.

Luke 24:1-8
1 Corinthians 15:1-5a
Luke 24:1-8
But on the first day of the week, at
early dawn, they went to the tomb,
taking the spices they had prepared.
[2] And they found the stone rolled
away from the tomb, [3] but when
they went in they did not find the
body of the Lord Jesus.
Luke 24:1-8
While they were perplexed about
this, behold, two men stood by them
in dazzling apparel. [5] And as they
were frightened and bowed their
faces to the ground, the men said to
them, “Why do you seek the living
among the dead? [6] He is not here,
but has risen.
Luke 24:1-8
Remember how he told you, while
he was still in Galilee, [7] that the
Son of Man must be delivered into
the hands of sinful men and be
crucified and on the third day rise.”
[8] And they remembered his
words,
1 Corinthians 15:1-5a
Now I would remind you, brothers,
of the gospel I preached to you,
which you received, in which you
stand, [2] and by which you are
being saved, if you hold fast to the
word I preached to you— unless you
believed in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:1-5a
For I delivered to you as of first
importance what I also received:
that Christ died for our sins in
accordance with the Scriptures, [4]
that he was buried, that he was
raised on the third day in
accordance with the Scriptures, [5]
and that he appeared to… [men]

Baptism – Mark 16:15-16
Faith – John 8:24
I told you that you would die in your
sins, for unless you believe that I am
he you will die in your sins.
Repentance – Acts 17:30-31
The times of ignorance God
overlooked, but now he commands all
people everywhere to repent, [31]
because he has fixed a day on which he
will judge the world in righteousness
by a man whom he has appointed; and
of this he has given assurance to all by
raising him from the dead.
Confession – Romans 10:9-10
that if you confess with your mouth
the Lord Jesus and believe in your
heart that God has raised Him from
the dead, you will be saved. For with
the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
Baptism – Mark 16:15-16
And he said to them, “Go into all the
world and proclaim the gospel to the
whole creation. [16] Whoever
believes and is baptized will be
saved, but whoever does not believe
will be condemned.

Genesis 1:1-5
In the beginning, God created the
heavens and the earth. [2] The earth
was without form and void, and
darkness was over the face of the
deep. And the Spirit of God was
hovering over the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, “Let there be
light,” and there was light.
Genesis 1:1-5
And God saw that the light was
good. And God separated the light
from the darkness. [5] God called
the light Day, and the darkness he
called Night. And there was evening
and there was morning, the first
day.

Matthew 5:31-32
“It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces
his wife, let him give her a certificate
of divorce.’ [32] But I say to you that
everyone who divorces his wife,
except on the ground of sexual
immorality, makes her commit
adultery. And whoever marries a
divorced woman commits adultery.
Matthew 19:3-9
And Pharisees came up to him and
tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to
divorce one’s wife for any cause?”
[4] He answered, “Have you not
read that he who created them from
the beginning made them male and
female, [5] and said,
Matthew 19:3-9
‘Therefore a man shall leave his
father and his mother and hold fast
to his wife, and they shall become
one flesh’? [6] So they are no longer
two but one flesh. What therefore
God has joined together, let not man
separate.”
Matthew 19:3-9
They said to him, “Why then did
Moses command one to give a
certificate of divorce and to send her
away?” [8] He said to them,
“Because of your hardness of heart
Moses allowed you to divorce your
wives, but from the beginning it was
not so.
Matthew 19:3-9
And I say to you: whoever divorces
his wife, except for sexual
immorality, and marries another,
commits adultery.”

Acts 11:27-30
Now in these days prophets came down
from Jerusalem to Antioch. [28] And one
of them named Agabus stood up and
foretold by the Spirit that there would be
a great famine over all the world (this
took place in the days of Claudius).
Internal Benevolence
Acts 11:27-30

according to his ability, to send relief to
the brothers living in Judea. [30] And
they did so, sending it to the elders by the
hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Edification
Ephesians 4:15-16
Rather, speaking the truth in love, we
are to grow up in every way into him
who is the head, into Christ, from
whom the whole body, joined and held
together by every joint with which it is
equipped, when each part is working
properly, makes the body grow so that
it builds itself up in love.

Worldliness
1 John 2:15-17
2 Peter 3:9-13
1 John 2:15-17
Do not love the world or the things in the
world. If anyone loves the world, the love
of the Father is not in him. [16] For all
that is in the world— the desires of the
flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride
in possessions—is not from the Father
but is from the world. [17] And the world
is passing away along with its desires, but
whoever does the will of God abides
forever.
2 Peter 3:9-13
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his
promise as some count slowness, but
is patient toward you, not wishing that
any should perish, but that all should
reach repentance. [10] But the day of
the Lord will come like a thief, and
then the heavens will pass away with a
roar, and the heavenly bodies will be
burned up and dissolved,
2 Peter 3:9-13
and the earth and the works that are
done on it will be burned up. [11] Since
all these things are thus to be
dissolved, what sort of people ought
you to be in lives of holiness and
godliness, [12] waiting for and
hastening the coming of the day of
God, because of which the heavens will
be set on fire and dissolved,
2 Peter 3:9-13
and the heavenly bodies will melt as
they burn! [13] But according to his
promise we are waiting for new
heavens and a new earth in which
righteousness dwells.
