Who do you say He is?

Getting out there...

Since being a Christian and spending more time in church it has surprised me at what it actually means to be a church. A church is people not a building, when God talks about building his church he is talking about building people. Where we meet together is where we get patched up, fed and sent back out into the world, as Jesus said "GO into the world..."
I have just been out on the streets and meet a few people, one lad is serving in the Navy and lost his father at a young age. He was really touched to hear the Christian message and let me pray with him, he speaks with his chaplain when times are tough. I spent about 15 minutes with another bloke who just hadn't thought much about it and had loads of questions, he has agreed to come on a course in the New Year, we exchanged numbers. He really wants to investigate it, you can't ask more than that.
One of the common things we do, I certainly did, was say I'll get around to it one day, do you know there are 150,000 people who die everyday, I bet the majority of them said the same thing...
We have a course coming up at my church on th 27th January to ask questions and examine the evidence, why not get around to it? If you are not local then I am sure there is a church near you doing the same?

Stop and think

What's it all about?

Is truth relative to each person?

What is the evidence?

Why the Bible?

Skeptical about Christianity?
