Over the years I’ve used the Alpha course but came across Christianity Explored and decided to order the handbook and leaders guide.
This is excellent material, Leaders guide so full of extra material, well laid out and easy to follow. The handbook is so good at keeping group focused on bible.
Love that from the beginning the group get into the bible, using Marks Gospel. This enables the group to really focus on Christ and who He is and why He came. I use YouTube for the videos and believe they are well presented and on topic, and the presenter comes across as relatable and understandable.
The group are encouraged to discuss the video, what they’ve read in the bible and at end of each session have set homework.
Actually, that sounds quite mundane, but actually the group have been animated by the material, in fact have described it as inspirational. Some of the group have been attending church for years, but admit they haven’t bothered with reading the Bible, but now relishing it.
They are learning the necessary tools to maintain their growth, and I’ve gained spiritually also, good to check my own foundations. Have also purchased the follow on courses
The Book of Mark is a good place to be. It is shorter than the other Gospels and has all the essentials of Christianity. I like the option of allowing the class to participate, especially in a prison environment. It gives the people in the class the opportunity to speak without threat. It is imperative that the teacher be open and accepting of the class, even if he does not agree with the views of a particular person. The teacher's position should be to present clearly the Gospel and allow the Holy Spirit to persuade them that what is being said is true. Perhaps there will be those who disagree with me, but a simple presentation of the Gospel that includes what salvation is and a brief explanation of who Jesus is would be a good place to start. Then get into the Christianity Explored as a follow-up to these claims.
We love using Christianity Explored in our church. Both classroom environments, and one-to-one studies have used this material. It's simple to follow and yet profound since the Gospel of Mark leads to profound reflections. We are grateful for a resource which takes us thoughtfully through the Scriptures.
Great service and pricing.
It has helped us to learn and explain who Jesus really is. Looking forward to the next lessons in this series.
I have used the Christianity Explored material for several years now and I don't think there is anything better. It is Gospel focussed whereas many other courses seem to be "self" focussed. This course lays out the truth without compromise which is so refreshing in a modern Christian context. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who wants to share the Good News of Jesus with others.
The Leadership handbook has been most helpful in guiding our thinking and planning as we undertake running a new CE course. It is well thought through and covers all aspects of the course and how we best approach people, reminding us that it is the Holy Spirit's work to open the eyes of unbelievers.
This resource is excellent! It was easy to buy and reasearch on the website, and it was delivered and has already been making an impact.
An essential and helpful resource, alongside the CEM's NIV copy of Mark. Used in conjunction with CE videos online. An excellent course led by Rico, to introduce people to Jesus. Our Church has found it a blessing as an Evangelistic tool.
A very necessary and helpful resource, alongside the CEM's NIV copy of Mark. Used in conjunction with CE videos online. A great course led by Rico Tice, to introduce people to Jesus.
