ONE.LIFE. is a new Christianity course that we have just begun at St Faith’s Narrabeen. It is a combination of Christianity Explored (weeks 1, 3, 4, 5) and some of John Dickson’s work on the reliability of the bible (week 2). Mark’s gospel is the main focus.
WEEK 1 // WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
WEEK 2 // CAN WE TRUST THE BIBLE?
WEEK 3 // WHY DID JESUS COME?
WEEK 4 // WHY DID JESUS DIE + RISE?
WEEK 5 // WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN?
We’ve just completed the final week of the course. We’ll be running it again in May and October, with the possibility of course during the day in July. The format: arrive, dinner at tables, talk, dessert discussion at tables, Q+A from the front. The content was good, but could be tighter, particularly week 2.
I think that there are too many Bible investigation questions in the official CE material. I’m all for encouraging people to dig into the bible for themselves, but think that lots of the interpretation and bible digging is lead by the speaker. So the discussion question over dinner was fairly open ended and non-threatening. The dessert discussion question was also fairly non-threatening. There were lots of good questions.
If you’re a Christian – can you take 30 seconds to pray and ask that God would use ONE.LIFE. to reach many Northern Beaches peeps with the good news of Jesus? Thanks :)
If you’re not a Christian. I love you. Thanks for reading. Check out this website. Contact me if you want to chat further about Jesus.
