The book of Daniel has all the makings of a great story: memorable characters, cliff-hanging moments, and incredible visions.

Doctrine is what a person believes to be true and is the greatest influence on every person’s life concerning how they live. There are many doctrines taught in Scripture, and some are more important than others. Doctrines that teach salvation and define orthodox Christian faith are known as essentialal Christian doctrine. These essential Christian doctrines uphold the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Savior Jesus Christ was crucified because of His doctrine…what He believed and taught to be true. If doctrine was so important to Jesus, then doctrine should also be important to His disciples. We will be exploring the basis for Christian doctrine in the first half of the quarter and look deeply into River Oaks Doctrinal Statement in the second half.
