The good news that the gospel brings to usWelcome to the Gospel Page
We are living in turbulent times. All around us there are problems. Economic, political, religious, moral, and family problems. The question is, is there an answer.
The bible tells us that the root of all the troubles in the world and in our personal lives is SIN. Sin is falling short of the standards of God.
The bible declares that we have ALL sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3 verse 23For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Romans 3:23 NKJV). If we are brave enough to take an honest look at our lives, we must admit that this is true. Now the problem arises as to how to deal with my sin. Many try to live good lives, or join a religious group. Others just choose to ignore it. Ultimately if we keep trying to deal with sin our own way we will die and enter eternity without God, which brings us no hope. (
The Wages of Sin is death....Romans 6 verse 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 NKJV).
The good news that the gospel brings to us is that despite our SIN, God loves each of us and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Saviour. The Lord Jesus died upon the cross of Calvary as a sinless, perfect man but was willing to die to take the punishment for all of our SIN. Jesus Christ paid in full the penalty for our SIN and shed His precious blood so we could be cleansed.
For those who are seeking answers, we run a 10 week course which we feel will bring you to a full understanding of the gospel. If you would like to join us please contact us and we will arrange a date for you to join our next session.
Discover who Jesus is, why He came and what it means to follow Him
About Christianity Explored
Developed over 10 years, Christianity Explored is an informal course for people who'd like to investigate Christianity, or just brush up on the basics. It explores who Jesus was, what His aims were, and what it means to follow Him.
You won't be asked to pray, sing or read aloud, and you can ask any questions you like. Or, if you prefer, you can just come along and listen. Christianity Explored has been around for over a decade now, and it's been designed to suit different age ranges and people.
Q. Who is Christianity Explored for?
A. Christianity Explored is for anyone who wants to investigate Christianity informally with a group of other people. Whether you have previous experience of Church, Christians and the Bible, or none at all, this course is for you. Everyone is welcome - from the most sympathetic Sunday schooler to the convinced atheist. We will respect your background, culture and beliefs. Tell us as little or as much about yourself as you feel comfortable.
Q. What goes on?
A. A meal is usually provided at the start of the evening (typically 7pm), so don't worry if you have to come straight from work. The course is normally run in several groups of six to nine people, and after briefly discussing the course material from the week before, there is a talk or DVD on the theme for that week. Then the groups discuss any questions that have arisen, and the evening ends at about 9pm. Of course, if you'd like, you're welcome to stick around a bit longer for a coffee to discuss any further issues you might have. And you can ask any question you want, at any time during the course.
Q. How long does the course last?
A. The course runs for 10 weeks, including a weekend (or day) away, when you can explore other areas such as the Bible, the Holy Spirit, prayer and the church.
Q. Can I pull out if I want to?
A. Of course you can.
Q. How much does the course cost?
A. Nothing - but some courses might ask for a small contribution towards any food provided.
Q. Do I have to bring anything?
A. No, all course materials are provided.
Q. Is it 'churchy'?
A. We hope not. It's not a church service. There's no praying, singing, or clapping, and you won't be asked to read aloud.
Q. Am I going to get preached at?
A. Each evening includes a talk (or DVD) designed to explain an aspect of Christian belief and to stimulate discussion. Hopefully you'll find it challenging and amusing. The group leaders will facilitate discussion and try to answer questions.
Q. Do I have to speak in the group?
A. Not if you don't want to. You are welcome to come and just sit and listen.
Q. How is Christianity Explored different from other courses?
A. The focus on Mark's Gospel, with its emphasis on who Jesus was, what his aims were, and what it means to follow him, makes Christianity Explored quite different.
Q. Why is the course run?
A. Christians count it a real privilege to explain the truth and relevance of the Christian message. We don't have all the answers but believe that we have exciting news to share about Jesus Christ.
