Fundamental Belief Statement Number One

Given on Dec 30, 2017 by Gary Smith Listen

In this sermon Gary Smith continues covering the first of the UCG fundamental beliefs dealing with God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. He points out that many do not see the importance of this doctrine, but that we need to understand it because true knowledge of God is disappearing from our society at a rapid rate and we need this understanding to avoid the deception that is coming upon our world.
