The Gate, Hope Spring’s young adult Bible study group, is back in session beginning Monday, January 17th. After a brief break for the holidays, the young adults are ready to get back to their Monday night gatherings. The young adults will start off the semester with a viewing of Lee Strobel’s The Case for Christ, The Film.
Based on the best-selling book by the same name, Lee Strobel, a seasoned journalist, chases down the biggest story in history.
The Project: Determine if there’s credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God. The Reporter: Lee Strobel, educated at Yale Law School, award-winning former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune-with a background of atheism. The Experts: A dozen scholars, with doctorates from Cambridge, Princeton, Brandeis, and other top-flight institutions, who are recognized authorities on Jesus. The Story: Retracing his own spiritual journey, Strobel cross-examines the experts with tough, point-blank questions: How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence exist for Jesus outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual historical event?
This remarkable documentary is like reading a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it’s not fiction. It’s a riveting quest for the truth about history’s most compelling figure. What will your verdict be in The Case for Christ?
Whether young adult or not, anyone is welcome to attend the viewing.
