New to Faith

If we are honest, we admit that the Bible can be confusing, even the New Testament.

This 10-day plan is based on Craig Keener's New Testament Background course on Seminary Now.

Life is full of experiences that we can use to break us or make us into the children of God we have been created to be. Begin this 7-day plan to learn how to get closer to God in every aspect of your life. When you do, your distance from God will help equip you to win every form of spiritual warfare that will arise.
