Dictionary.com defines the word essential as that which is “absolutely necessary; indispensable,” and also adds the idea of “pertaining to or constituting the essence of a thing.” In other words, if something essential is missing there is a problem.

Using Scripture, this series will help us understand why these beliefs are so fundamental to calling ourselves “Christian” and, in addition, how these seemingly basic truths transformed the world.
