Today we begin a new teaching series based on our doctrinal beliefs as part of the Assemblies of God. This study will help us better understand what we believe, why it matters, and how it applies to us today.

2 Timothy 3: 15-17 NLT

15 You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work
