Christianity Explained

Christianity Explained is a six-unit presentation of the gospel which aims to fulfil this objective of teaching the fundamentals of the Christian faith.  The course is based around the Gospel of Mark, which is chosen for its simplicity.  The underlying assumption is that the enquirer knows virtually nothing about Jesus and the Bible.  It is an evangelistic course in that it seeks to lead the person to genuine faith and repentance by the end of the six sessions.  It is a low-key approach in that there is no attempt to pressure or manipulate people into a commitment, though the need for a genuine faith-response is clearly and often put.

Becoming a Contagious Christian is a proven course designed to equip believers for effective evangelism in today’s world.  It avoids stereotyped approaches that feel intimidating to many Christians.  Instead, it shows ordinary believers how they can share the Gospel in a natural and powerful way while being the person God made them to be. Each session’s exercises. Discussions, selfassessments, and video vignettes give step-by-step        guidance to help participants become effective communicators for Christ to those around them.  There’s even a section on everyday answers that will help believers respond to difficult questions regarding Christianity.  “In their heart of hearts, I think all true followers of Christ long to become contagious Christians.  Deep down they sense that there isn’t anything as rewarding as opening a person up to God’s love and truth.  This course will help build the values, skills, and confidence needed to do just that.”
