Grounded in the Faith: Studies in Bible Doctrines with Dr. Steve Hankins

Time: 8:00 - 8:55 p.m. (ET), Channel 1
Description: This course emphasizes that the death of Christ is an essential element of the Gospel. For this reason, a thorough understanding of the death of Christ is important for the believer. Understanding the death of Christ requires a response. For some it yields the decision of faith; for others, it brings forth bitter contempt. Dr. Hankins clarifies the nature of true saving faith, and concludes this study with an explanation of what actually happens at the moment of salvation.
