      Introduction

      The most significant decision anyone can ever make is to decide to follow Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Foundations II is a course of study that has been designed to build up your faith—to help you gain a firm foundation and grow in spiritual maturity.

      Jesus tells us that our faith—what we believe and how we live—is like the wise man who builds his house upon the rock. When the winds of trouble come and beat against the house, it will stand (see Matthew 7:24–27).

      Foundations II is designed to be used in Sunday school classes, small groups or individual study. It contains six lessons. You may choose to do one lesson a week or spend two weeks on each lesson.

      The Leader’s Guide, which begins on page 55, provides answers to most questions and additional background material to assist you in your study.

      Our prayer for you is that your faith will grow as you follow Jesus Christ and permit Him to be Lord of every facet of your life.

      We readily recognize David Fessenden of Christian Publications who assisted us in creating the proper format to present this series of studies. Also, we are grateful for the many hours of labor that were invested by Gail Roso, our church secretary at Stow Alliance Fellowship.

      By His grace,

      John C. Cervone and Arnold R. Fleagle

      STUDY ONE

      The Lordship of Jesus Christ

      The story is told of the cathedral in Freiburg, Germany, which contained a famous organ. One day a man entered and asked to play it. The custodian resisted the request, but he eventually granted permission.

      The guest sat down and began to play music which moved the sexton to take a seat and eventually the man began to weep over the beautiful sounds that emerged from the instrument he was entrusted to care and guard.

      When the stranger stood up and began to leave, the custodian inquired, Who are you?

      The visitor replied, I am Mendelssohn.

      The old man threw up his hands and cried, And to think I almost refused to let you play my organ.

      When Jesus Christ enters our lives, He turns disharmony to harmony and noise to music. He tunes us, removing the sins which cause discordant and displeasing sounds. However, He does not want to just tune our instrument—He wants to play it.

      It is very
