SUMMARY:Confident Christianity - Cowplain\, Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:Do you find the thought of talking about Jesus to friends\, neighbours\, classmates or colleagues daunting? Do you sometimes find yourself thinking “what if I say something that makes God look bad?” Or wondering what happens if they raise a challenging question or objection to which you’re unable to respond. (“Aren’t Christians bigoted and homophobic?”; “Isn’t the Bible unreliable and full of errors?”; “Hasn’t science buried God?”; “Isn’t religion just a psychological crutch?” … and the list goes on). \nWell\, you’re not alone! In the fast-paced\, skeptical and secular culture in which we live\, most of us find evangelism a bit daunting. That’s why Solas is partnering with Cowplain Evangelical Church near Portsmouth for a Confident Christianity conference. We will be bringing you a great line-up of speakers including Andy Bannister\, Ben Thomas and David Hutchings. They’ll help you become confident and empowered to talk about Jesus more naturally\, engage in evangelism that persuades people\, and feel equipped to answer the questions of your friends. \nAs the popular evangelist J John once said: “Many times Christians are like arctic rivers. They have frozen mouths.” Come along to a Confident Christianity conference and de-thaw! \n Book Tickets Here \n  \nRunning Order\n10:00 Welcome and announcements\n10:20 Devotion – Phill Brown\n10:30 Andy Bannister: How to talk about Jesus without looking like an idiot\n11:00 Ben Thomas: Sex and Salvation – A personal story of transformation\n11:25 What is Solas? / Coffee Break\n12:05 David Hutchings: God vs. Science – a history\n12:35 Lunch Break\n1:30 Ben Thomas: Sharing the gospel with LBGT friends\, family and colleagues\n2:05 David Hutchings: Given all the options\, why Jesus?\n2:30 Coffee Break\n2:50 Andy Bannister: Jesus and the failures of the Church\n3:20 Q&A\n4:00 Finish
