Valley Baptist Christian Growth Lessons Session 1

Welcome to the very first lesson in the Valley Baptist Church’s Lessons on Christian Growth.
We will be learning about who Jesus Christ is and why He came to the Earth.
Without Jesus, Christianity is nothing.
True Christians’ beliefs are in Christ and what He has done for us.
No religious person can be saved by what they have done or how they act.
Galatians 4:4-5 How did Jesus come into this world and for what purpose?
Jesus was born of a virgin.
Jesus did not have sin passed down to Him through man. Romans 5:12
Vs 5 Jesus was born into this world to give us the chance to be adopted.
Luke 2:40 Jesus went through a normal growing life.
He lived as we lived.
He struggled as we struggled.
He was filled with the wisdom of God because He is God.
There was nothing fancy about Jesus in looks or how He grow up.
Many religious arts have been drawn that do not show Jesus as He truly is.

He became tired and had to sleep.

He suffered pain.
He was even tempted. Hebrews 4:15
