Christianity Explored

Christianity Explored is a 7-week video and discussion course for anyone who wants to investigate Christianity informally with a group of other people.  Each session includes a talk (or DVD) designed to explain an aspect of Christian belief and to stimulate discussion while letting the gospel tell the gospel.  The main themes include the identity, mission, and call of Jesus in Mark's gospel. There is no cost to attend and preregistration is not required.

Our next series begins Sunday, February 26, at 9:45am in Room A202.

New City Catechism

Q8. What is the law of God stated in the Ten Commandments? (Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 5:7)

Answer: You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below—you shall not bow down to them or worship them. You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. You shall not covet.
