Invest In Your Relationship With God...

Build a Strong Foundation That Sustains Your Relationship with Christ

Your faith in God must have a strong foundation. God outlines some key principles in the Bible that are essential for growth and maturity in your new life in Christ (Hebrews 6:1-2).   

To help build your new life around these key principles, RISK Church has created two self-study booklets (see below) and a companion guide. Work through them prayerfully and you'll ensure that you grow strong and mature in your relationship with Christ. 

Don't rely on Sunday sermons to cover these principles. Sermons only touch on them occasionally because everyone is at different stages in their walk with Christ.

Topics (Revised Edition):

  • The 3 Essentials for Growth: Bible, Prayer & Fellowship
  • Repentance
  • Faith
  • Getting to know the Holy Spirit our Helper
  • Baptism - Water & The Church
  • Baptism in the Holy Spirit
  • Laying on of Hands - Imparting Healing

Although designed as self-study, you'll get the most benefit by going through these studies with someone to review them and to discuss any questions you have.

Even if you're living out these principles, we suggest you work through this booklet at least once. It's amazing what the Holy Spirit will reveal to you at a deeper level. It'll also help you appreciate what the younger believers in our RISK family are focusing on (you'll need to work through the booklet if you want to be involved with discipling).

The studies will help you build sturdy house framing, so to speak, for your relationship with Christ - getting the structure right is necessary for helping everything else in your life in Christ fit nicely into place!

Topics:

  • Word of God
  • Fellowship

“Whoever comes to Me (Jesus), and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat violently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.”
— Luke 6:47-48
