Sermon Series: What Shapes Us Series Episode Title: Why should I care about what my church believes?This talk marks the beginning of a new series at His People Church titled "What Shapes Us", focusing on the church’s Statement of Faith. The aim is to help congregants understand what the church believes and why doctrine matters.What is a Statement of Faith? It outlines the core beliefs of the church, rooted in scripture. Understanding it helps members align with the church’s teachings and evaluate whether those teachings are biblically sound.Purpose of Studying Doctrine:To know what and why you believe.To discern your sources of truth and spiritual authority.To ensure your beliefs produce visible change and impact in your life and others.To equip you to test teachings and seek deeper understanding, not just accept things passively.Faith is Active: True belief should manifest in your behavior and life. If there's no fruit or change, then it's worth re-evaluating if you truly believe.Week 1 Focus: The Doctrine of GodTheology (the study of God) cannot be fully explained by human logic; God must reveal Himself.The speaker emphasizes humility in approaching this topic, acknowledging the limitations of human understanding.General Revelation: God reveals Himself through creation, what can be perceived by our senses (Romans 1:19–23). This makes humanity "without excuse" in denying God's existence.Final Encouragement: You are invited not just to listen but to study the scriptures yourself, ask the Holy Spirit for revelation, and ensure your faith is not just head knowledge but a living, transformative relationship with God.For more messages like this, you can always go to our website: ⁠www.hispeoplebotswana.org⁠ Attend one of our services by visiting our church housed in Maharaja Conference Centre in Gaborone:⁠ https://maps.app.goo.gl/mEzeHWtQc2wua...or simply, reach out to one of our leaders via the WhatsApp: +267 74 312 240#HisPeople #Church #EveryNation #WeYourPeople #ChurchSeries #HisPeopleGabEast
