SC 01 About the series

Clear answers to life’s biggest questions.

Many today are searching for clear answers to life’s biggest questions. The Essential Truths series provides faithful, engaging teaching on the core doctrines of the Christian faith.

Inspired by R.C. Sproul’s classic book Essential Truths of the Christian Faith, the series features Rev. John van Eyk of Trinity United Reformed Church in Lethbridge. 27 short, accessible films are out so far, with more in production, each drawing people back to God’s Word as the source of life and hope.

Created with seekers and new believers in mind, Essential Truths introduces the foundations of Christianity in a way that is clear, practical, and deeply relevant. Our prayer is that these films will not only provide answers but also stir a deeper desire to know Christ and grow in Him.
