Christianity Explored

A seven-week series that helps us find answers to big questions in the pages of Mark’s Gospel – the biography of the man who changed history. 

There we see that Jesus was a unique person, with a unique mission, which has huge implications for every one of us.  

The Bible is clear that the way we respond to Jesus has far-reaching consequences for us. Christianity Explored helps us discover and understand Jesus’s offer of salvation, and why it’s the best news we could ever hear. 

The seven sessions consider: 

• Good News – What are we doing here? 
• Identity – Who is Jesus?  
• Sin – Why did Jesus come?  
• The Cross – Why did Jesus die? 
• Resurrection – Why did Jesus rise?  
• Grace – How can God accept us? 
• Come and Die – What does it mean to follow Jesus? 

Christianity Explored is featured here as a recommended third-party resource. Agapé UK is not involved in the development or content of this resource. 

For anyone who wants to explore the basis of the Christian faith, through meeting Jesus in the pages of Scripture. 

Each session of Christianity Explored focuses on a different aspect of Jesus’s life, and what it means for us. The series works through the eyewitness accounts in the Gospel of Mark, to see what Jesus did and said during His time on earth.  

The sessions include:  

• discussion of a short passage from the Gospel 
• a 10-15 minute video presentation addressing the focus for that week (see under What is it?) 
• discussion of the presentation and a chance to ask questions 

Between sessions guests are encouraged to read through the next 2-3 chapters of the Gospel and reflect on what it reveals about Jesus and what he came to do.
