The First Catechism is a great tool to help parents educate their children concerning the Christian faith. The aim of this review is to prepare parents to teach their children the basics of Christianity. In this episode, I discuss who Jesus is, justification, and sanctification.

I continue my review of the First Catechism (Children’s Catechism). This is a tool to prepare parents of young children to lead their children through the First Catechism. In this episode, we discuss the fall of mankind and regeneration (being born again) by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I explore the First Catechism to help parents of young children develop an understanding of Christian doctrine to give their children a firm foundation. In this episode, I discuss the Bible and why we should believe it and obey it, the creation of Adam and Eve, and God’s covenant with Adam.

Understanding what the Bible teaches (Christian doctrine) is important as a foundation for your life as a Christian. In this episode, I begin a series on the First Catechism (a children’s catechism), primarily to help parents give their children a firm foundation for their lives as believers.

Churches often implement innovative programs to attract newcomers, hoping to increase their numbers. However, are these programs really necessary for the growth of the church? The answer is no. Jesus doesn't need any man to build His church. In this episode, I discuss how Jesus builds His church.   Bible References: (Genesis 3:15; Exodus 17:1-7: Isaiah 53:2; Daniel 7:13-14; Matthew 16:13-20; 18:18; 28:18-20; John 6:37; 10:27; Acts 7:56; Romans 10:14-17; 1 Corinthians 10:4; Ephesians 2:20; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:1-2; 2:5)   Belgic Confession, Article 29   The Fox Den is honored to be a member of the Society of Reformed Podcasters!   Thanks to my daughter Katherine for the voice over and my daughter Elizabeth for the cute fox on the artwork.
