Jesus died not simply to forgive our sins, but to give us new life. To become a Christian means to be “in Christ” – which means that we share in Jesus’ death and resurrection. It means that we can live a totally different kind of life.

People think that Christianity is nothing more than keeping a list of rules – i.e. the Ten Commandments. But that has been tried many times through history, and has failed every time. All you need is to look at the history of Israel.

In this session we look at Moses, one of the most important figures in the Old Testament. He led the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt to freedom. However, this was not simply a historical event: this is perhaps the most significant event in the Old Testament for understanding what it means to be a Christian.

How bad is sin, really? In this session we start out by looking at just how bad sin is, and then how God started his rescue plan through a man called Abraham. God’s promises to Abraham show what God was intended, and Abraham serves as an example for us.

If God made a good world, why is there evil in the world? In Genesis 3, we read of how evil entered into the world. This introduces the concept of ‘sin’, as well as explaining why even the natural world doesn’t seem to work properly and why we all die at the end.

Why is the world so full of contradictions – full of beauty and wonder, and yet with so much darkness and ugliness? Why does nothing seem to satisfy? Why do relationships cause so much pain? Why do we die? Was this how it was meant to be? In this session we go back to the beginning of the Bible to answer the question of how God intended creation to be.

In this course, we are looking at what Christianity is. In the first part of this course, we see that the message of Christianity is the message of the Bible. We learn what Christianity is as we explore the story of the Bible, from creation to new creation, with Jesus at the centre. In this session we look at why you should care about the Bible, and a brief overview of what the Bible contains.
This is the first part of a new “What is Christianity?” course. This is an updated and expanded version of the course originally released in 2021, but with significant differences – not least the production values!
Walking with God is not a solitary journey, but one we must walk with other Christians. In this session we think about how important the church is and what it means to fulfil our responsibilities to our fellow Christians.

As we come near to the end of the holiness course, we look at something which sums up what it means to live in holiness: walking with God. What does it mean to walk with God, and how do we do it?

It’s easy to appear to do the right things without doing them in the right way. This is especially important in the Christian life: we need to do God’s work in God’s way. In this session we think about what that means, and how we need the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit to give us the love that we need.
