“Basic Christian Beliefs”
A fifteen-week study on exploring your faith and answering honestly questions about life, faith and God. During the fifteen weeks, you will deal with questions concerning Christ, Christ’s Death, Assurance of Faith, the Bible, God’s Direction in our Lives, Prayer, the Holy Spirit, Evil, Sharing One’s Faith, Healing, The Church, and Making the Most of My Life.
CHRISTIANITY 101 has been written to bridge the gap between biblical scholarship and people who yearn to understand the Christian faith. It presents eight basic doctrines of Christianity-The Bible, God, Christ, Holy Spirit, Human Beings, Redemption, The Church, and The Last Things-in clear, simple language that gives the seasoned Christian a fresh understanding of the Bible and its teachings and enables the new Christian to become familiar with Christian doctrine. Bilezikian does not shape his analysis of these doctrines in the worn-out, rationalistic categories of older systematic theologies, but in vibrant, dynamic language that communicates to the modern age.
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, self-assessments, 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.
