Why is it that most non-Christians don't seem to "get" Christianity?
Why is no-one really listening?
Why are we not talking?
Based on Stephen Gaukroger's best selling book "It Makes Sense". Christian Life & Why It Makes Sense aims to give the teaching and confidence to tackle some of the most common objections to the Christian faith.
Sometimes we as Christians can be confused about key issues in our faith. Even if we are convinced of the truth, explaining why is another challenge altogether. And all this uncertainty can prevent us from having the confidence to share our faith.
Christian Life & Why It Makes Sense aims to do two things. Firstly, we address some of the key confusing issues, some of the seriously difficult questions people ask about God and Christianity, and try to present some clear responses and reasoning. But knowing in your head is only part of that "being prepared" that Peter refers to in 1 Peter 3:15. So secondly, we'll look at how God works in people's lives and how He can work through us, through our prayers and through His power.
Our prayer is that by the end of Christian Life & Why It Makes Sense, you will have gained more confidence to speak out in the situations that you will find yourself in. We also pray that you might find renewed enthusiasm to see how God works through you and your friendships, so that more people might know him, and that Christianity does make sense.
Christian Life & Why It Makes Sense was produced in association with Gold Hill Baptist Church.
