Exploring the Basis of Our Hope

What is Foundations?

exploring the basis of our hope

Foundations is a free video series that explores the landmark beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Faith and fosters small group discussion. Upon the key foundational truth that Jesus is our Salvation, we’ll explore the other S’s of Adventism-the Sabbath, the State of the Dead, the Second Coming, the Sanctuary and the Spirit of Prophecy.

how to use this series

Foundations was presented in person and livestreamed at the Naples Adventist Church over the weekends of September 17-18 and September 24-25. The sessions were inspiring and the round table discussions brought insight and clarity to why we believe in these core beliefs. We think everyone would enjoy going through this series and want to make them readily available for your use as well. So gather the family and invite some friends and dive into the Foundations Series today!
