Time to discover who Jesus is, why he came and what it means to follow him

Developed over 10 years, Christianity Explored is an informal course for people who’d like to investigate Christianity, or just brush up on the basics. From Mark’s Gospel, it explores who Jesus was, what his aims were, and what it means to follow him. You’ll not be asked to pray, sing, or read aloud, and you can ask any questions you like. Or, if you prefer, you can come along and simply listen.
At the moment, a Christianity Explored group meets in the Manse on Tuesday evenings at 8pm.

The topics covered are as follows:

Week 1 The meaning of life
Week 2 Jesus -Who was he?
Week 3 Jesus - Why did he come?
Week 4 Jesus - His death
Week 5 What is grace?
Week 6 Jesus - his resurrection
Week 7 What is a Christian

Time to discover the secret of Christian contentment

Discipleship Explored is an eight week journey into Paul’s extraordinary letter to the Philippians. It follows a similar format to Christianity Explored and is designed for anyone who wants to find out what it really means to follow Jesus Christ. The last Discipleship Explored was held  in Jackson's Coffee Shop in Jan-Mar 2008. We hope to run the course again after the summer.

The topics covered are as follows:

Week 1 Confident in Christ (1:1-11)
Week 2 Living in Christ (1:12-26)
Week 3 Standing together in Christ (1:27 - 2:11)
Week 4 Transformed by Christ (2:12-30)
Week 5 Righteous in Christ (3:1-9)
Week 6 Knowing Christ (3:10 - 4:1)
Week 7 Rejoicing in Christ (4:2-9)
Week 8 Content in Christ (4:10-23)
