Welcome to The Basics
The Basics is the Christian foundations community of MCChurch. Our purpose in this community is to the central and essential truths of our faith in Jesus Christ. When the foundations and root systems of Christian faith are healthy and strong, nothing can overcome the supernatural effectiveness and fruitfulness of God’s purposes in a believer’s life from naturally occuring.
If you are new in your Christian pilgrimage and journey, or feel like you need a refresher in the basics of the Christian faith, we invite you to join The Basics community to grow in the grace and and in your intimate knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
The Basics starts on 7 February 2023 (7-9PM) for 7 consecutive weeks.
TOPICS and schedule
WEEK 1: REPENTING FROM DEAD WORKS and ACTIVE FAITH IN JESUS
In this topic, we cover the issue of the futility of trying to be good and doing good, in humanity’s religious and self-righteous attempt to achieve salvation.
We will cover the centrality of faith in Jesus Christ and in His Cross as the only source of salvation and everlasting righteousness — yesterday, today, and forever.
WEEK 2: A TEACHING ON DIFFERENT BAPTISMS
We cover the need for believers to be baptised in water through full immersion (as opposed to mere sprinkling), and the significance of this simple act of obedience.
Also covered is the baptism with the Holy Spirit as one of the crucial, initial, and foundational steps for a believer to take and receive. Afterwards, a “workshop” or “clinic” will be conducted for participants to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.
WEEK 3: IMPARTATION BY THE LAYING ON OF HANDS
In week 3, we cover issues pertaining to healing, how to bless others, the impartation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and releasing members of the Body of Christ into their calling and ministry.
WEEK 4: THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
We cover the Biblical prophecies and teachings of the significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We also cover the Biblical teaching of the unique hope of every believer in Christ — the resurrection from the dead.
