How has Christianity and Jesus influenced the world? In this series of talks we’ll consider four questions about Jesus’ impact on our culture and our lives, with some surprising answers!
Over four weeks we looked at what the Bible has to say about the questions. Has Jesus caused… war or peace, unity or division, the beginning or the end of religion, oppression or freedom?
Check out the Auslan Interpreted talks here.
Has Jesus caused oppression or freedom?
We all long to be free, but what does that actually mean? Obeying a spiritual leader or religious book seems the opposite to freedom. So is Jesus and the Bible any different? Come and consider the surprising answer with us.
Has Jesus caused the beginning or end of religion?
Are Christians religious people or spiritual people? Is there a difference? And what does Jesus have to do with it? In addressing this question we’ll look at institutional religion, what it means to “be religious”, and the unique thing that Jesus offers.
Has Jesus caused unity or division?
When you think of Jesus do you think peacemaker or troublemaker? Does he unite people or divide people? Or is there more to this question than you might expect? Consider this topic with us.
Has Jesus caused peace or war?
History is littered with war and violence. What part has Jesus and Christianity played? What hope do we have of a peaceful future? Jez Reynolds myth-busts this idea to show us from the Bible how Jesus brings peace and not war.
