Why We Believe - Week 1

Sharable notes for the March 19, 2017 message. You can post these notes on your social platform! 

• 1 Peter 3:15 points out that once you believe be ready to share your belief with gentleness and respect.
• It's important to know what & why you believe in regards to The God who created us, Jesus who saved us and the Holy Spirit who empowers us.
• The Bible reveals to us truth and most importantly who the Truth is, Jesus. 
• A place where there is post-truth is a place where chaos will reign. 
• The church isn't dying it is actually being identified. Chosen Christianity is growing, inherited faith is not.
• “Stop demanding a belief in God to meet a standard that we don’t apply to other proofs...to state there is no God or there is a God, then, necessarily entails faith.” Tim Keller
• The Bible declares our dignity because we are created in the image of God. Jesus declared his love for us through the cross. This is truth.
• Sin is always going to be the problem and Jesus is always going to be the answer.
