Light in the Darkness

Questions related to the sermon Light in the Darkness by Les Kovacs

Sharing our faith in Jesus Christ can be a bit intimidating in our post-Christian society. 

1. Have you run into cultural differences with non-Christians which create barriers to understanding and acceptance of Christian teachings?  Were you able to get past them?
2. Do you have a fear of being rejected or ridiculed by non-Christians for your beliefs, causing you to hesitate sharing your faith?  Where can you find the courage to overcome that fear?
3. Do you feel a lack of knowledge or confidence in your ability to articulate your faith effectively to non-Christians?  How can you better equip yourself to increase your knowledge and confidence?  
4. Have you experienced negative stereotypes being applied to you because you are a Christian?  What are some steps you can take to dispel the preconceived notions or stereotypes about Christians that can allow you engage in discussions about faith?

Addressing these obstacles often involves deepening your own understanding of Christian beliefs, fostering genuine relationships, and relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit in sharing the message of faith with others.
