How to live as a Christian #1: Following Jesus (New course!)

In the “What is Christianity?” course we looked at what Christianity actually is. But how do you actually live as a Christian, practically? In this new course, we’re going to look at how you actually live as a Christian. The first part is the most fundamental – it’s the foundation of everything else we say.

This is an updated version of the video course I recorded last year, based on the written series.

What is Christianity? 6 – The Future

What is heaven going to be like? I’m sure almost everyone has an opinion on what lies beyond death. But what does the Bible have to say about it? In this final session of the What is Christianity course, we see how what the Bible says about the future draws everything else together.

Coming up next…

This is the last session of the What is Christianity? course 😢 But – don’t be sad! There’s still lots more to learn, and there’ll be lots more on Understand the Bible! Be happy! 😊

Next week I will be starting on a new version of the How to Live as a Christian course. This is nine sessions looking at how to live as a Christian. So – stay tuned! Do subscribe on YouTube or sign up to the mailing list to be notified of when it goes live.

What is Christianity? 5 – Grace and the Spirit

If God forgives us anyway, can’t we just do what we like? What’s our motivation to do good? In this session we focus on what it means to live a Christian life. We think about how God’s grace changes us, and how the Holy Spirit helps us.

What is Christianity? 4 – Jesus

The last session finished on a bit of a cliffhanger: God had made big promises to Abraham, but how could he keep them? The Old Testament demonstrated that sin was too strong to overcome on our own. But God had a plan to save the world.

What is Christianity? 3 – Old Testament

Stories are not just for entertainment – they are hugely powerful in shaping and teaching us. Maybe that’s why God gave us a story, the biggest story, in the Bible. In this session we look at what happened after Genesis 3 – how does the Old Testament message lead us to Jesus?

What is Christianity? 2 – Where it all went wrong

If God made a good world, then why is there so much bad stuff in the world? Why are there wars, and pandemics, and break-ups, and death? Why is my life in such a mess? In the second part of the What is Christianity? course we look at where it all went wrong – the cause of every bad thing in the world. Here we explore Genesis chapter 3, which explains how evil entered into the world.

What is Christianity? 1 – Creation (New Course)

What is Christianity all about? Join me on the start of this journey as we work our way through the Bible. In this session we look at what the Bible is and why it’s important. Then we start at the beginning – the creation of everything.

As I promised last week, this is the first episode of the updated What is Christianity? course. I’m planning to film a new video each week and upload it, starting with this course.

Authentic Religion – Matthew 6:1-18

Jesus’ words here are appropriate for a social media generation! He warns us against hypocritical religion, and shows us what we should be like instead.

The previous Sermon on the Mount video on “Misusing the Law (Matthew 5:33-48)” is available here.

In due course this series will replace the existing Sermon on the Mount series.

Misusing the Law – Matthew 5:33-48

In this session we look at some of Jesus’ most famous sayings – “eye for an eye”, “love your enemies”. These are actually three examples of how people were misusing the Law. We finish by looking at a summary of what the Law is all about.

The previous Sermon on the Mount video on “Marriage & Sex” is available here.

In due course this series will replace the existing Sermon on the Mount series.

Marriage & Sex – Matthew 5:17-32

How does God want us to live when it comes to marriage and sex? Most of us haven’t had an affair – so does that mean we can simply ✅ God’s command here and move on? Jesus explains that there’s far more to it than that.

In the video I mention the Friend Zone feature on this website.

The previous Sermon on the Mount video on “Keeping the Rules (Murder)” is available here.

In due course this series will replace the existing Sermon on the Mount series.
