Have you seen young people walk away from the faith of their heritage? Do you know Christians who are struggling to work out why we might believe Christianity to be true? I mean, what about all the other religions? The latest addition to the ‘Cornerstone’ discipleship series is a series of five 5-minute long teachings about why we believe Christianity to be true.

• Each tutorial comes with a discussion guide, so these can be used by individuals, or by groups.

The five tutorial titles in the ‘Reasons to believe’ series are:

1. There is a God (Why do we believe in a single, intelligent creator?)
2. God has revealed himself through history (Why do we believe this God is good, and can be known?)
3. God has a plan (How can we know if we can trust God’s good plan?)
4. God’s plan is put into action through Jesus (What about the other religions?)
5. Taste and see that the Lord is good (Will this belief-system work for us in daily life?)

These can be found…
