BIGGIES: Short Answers to Big Questions of the Christian Faith

Let's face it, life is complicated and often perplexing. Everyone at some point in their lives encounters tough questions or sticking points that prevent them from growing in their Christian faith. As we live as salt and light in the world, we will encounter people who have the same questions.

Join us for a 8-week class where we will explore some of the big questions of the Christian faith, including:

· How do I know God exists and created all things?
· Who is Jesus and why is He the only Way to God?
· How do I know the Bible is the inspired, trustworthy Word of God?
· How do man’s free will and God’s sovereignty coexist?
· Why is there sin and suffering in the world?
· What does God’s Word say about current social issues?
· What does it look like for me to be salt and light in the world?
· How do I communicate the Gospel to people far from God?

How to Engage with People on the Topic of God's Truth

Engaging with God

As Christians, God calls us to be transformed and conformed to the likeness of Jesus. (2 Corinthians 3:18, Romans 8:29) This process involves knowing God through His revealed Word, the Bible, and developing an ongoing, personal relationship with Him through His Spirit.

Join us as we explore the following questions together.

· How did we get our modern Bible?

· How do I know the Bible is the inspired, trustworthy Word of God?

· How do I discover and apply the timeless principles of God’s Word?

· How did the original hearers understand God’s Word?

· How do I engage with God through the use of spiritual pathways and practices?

· How do I listen to God the Holy Spirit and respond to His leadings?
