Hello and welcome to our new series. My mom, Patty Johnston, and I have spent a lot of time writing the material for this new series and we are so excited about presenting it to you! Last year I started thinking about what would be most helpful for people who are looking to build a firm foundation in their Christian walk. That led me to asking myself what had been most helpful for me and the immediate answer was the Bible and Bible studies. For me the most helpful tool has been studying the Bible and then applying the lessons from the Bible to my own personal life. That is exactly what we want to offer to you!

We plan on going, chapter by chapter, through the books of Matthew, Acts, James, Romans, and Ephesians. From these books you can learn about the Life of Jesus and how He is our perfect sacrifice (Matthew), how the church was created and the purpose it was created for (Acts), answers for daily living (James), what it really means to be saved/salvation (Romans), and how to handle spiritual warfare (Ephesians).

We are offering, through this series, a firm foundation for The Christian Life. When we first started the series we were doing one a week. I quickly realized that was going to take a very long time for us to get through all of the material and I want to put the study in your hands as quickly as possible, so we are changing it up some. I am going to post the material for each book at once. It will be a chapter-by-chapter study to pull out lessons that will help create a firm foundation for your Christian Life. I will also do one video lesson for each book we cover to summarize the lessons from each chapter. The videos will be shared in our Facebook ministry group (Fullness of Joy Ministry), website (Fullnessofjoyministry.com), my personal page, and ministry page. The typed documents will be uploaded to the FB ministry group, and you are more than welcome to download them, print them out, and use them for your own study time. They will also be shared on our ministry website.

My suggestion is to read the chapters prior to each lesson and then use our material as a supplement to your own personal reading and study time. This study is not a replacement for your own personal reading and study time.

Blessings,

Nichole Henson
