In Lesson 3 of the Foundations Series, "Pure Words," Pastor Samson shows that the answer rests on Jesus Christ Himself: He affirmed the Old Testament, He authorized His apostles to write the New, and the church recognized the books God had given rather than creating them. Along the way you'll hear why Roman Catholic and Pro...

Peter's confident vow to never deny Jesus collapses within hours, as a servant girl's simple observation exposes his denial three times over.

Our confidence rests not in how we stand for Jesus, but in how he stood for us.
