The Compass – first foundational lessons



Take a minute right now to list out the very most important Biblical truths that a believer would need to understand so that they can continue to grow in their relationship with God – even if they were to find themselves in an environment with just a Bible, but no other believers or churches.

That’s a challenging question, isn’t it?  It’s a good question to ask, though.  Your answers to this question should lead you to the foundational lessons that every believer should understand…and foundational truths you would want every believer to not only understand themselves, but to be able to communicate these truths to other believers.

There is a series of studies called The Compass that are based on communicating theses foundational truths.  I have already written about 2 of these foundational lessons, The Compass – The Spirit-filled Life and The Compass – Prayer.  This week I want to direct you to 2 more of these lessons: Assurance of Salvation and Fellowship.

Look through the lessons to make sure that you yourself have a solid understanding of these foundational truths.  Think about who you could communicate these truths to as well (and ask them to pass these truths onto others as well – 2 Tim.2:2!)
