Synopsis

Fundamentals of the Faith has welcomed thousands upon thousands of believers—new and old— helping them build a solid Christian faith.

Perfect as a Christianity 101 Sunday school class, for small groups, or for one-on-one study.

Decades ago, when John MacArthur was a young pastor, his growing church wanted to ensure everyone was firmly rooted in the essential doctrines of the faith. Fundamentals of the Faith became the heartbeat of the church, equipping class attendees with a solid theological foundation. Now, this core resource—the fruit of many years of preparation, instruction, and application—is available to you.

Fundamentals of the Faith includes lessons on:

• The Bible
• God: His Character and Attributes
• The Person of Jesus Christ
• The Work of Jesus Christ
• Salvation
• The Person and Ministry of the Holy Spirit
• Prayer
• The Church
• And more

Each lesson is loaded with learning tools to help you engage Scripture:

• A link to 13 free downloadable messages by John MacArthur himself
• Study questions and memory verses
• Suggestions for practical application

This easy-to-follow class resource helps new believers understand the faith, mature Christians sharpen their understanding of key doctrines, and fosters true unity grounded in a shared understanding of God's truth.

The power behind this curriculum is not in its format or layout, but in the Word of God on which it is based. We know that when the Holy Spirit uses His Word in people's hearts, their lives are transformed. And that's why I am so thrilled that these materials have found their way to you. —John MacArthur
