Why Believe in Jesus? || Dan Paterson

Is faith in Jesus simply blind belief, or is there compelling historical evidence for His life, death and resurrection? In this thought-provoking message, guest speaker Dan Paterson explores the reasons why millions of people throughout history have placed their trust in Jesus. Drawing on historical sources, the writings of the early church, and the reliability of the New Testament accounts, Dan examines the evidence for Jesus as a real person who lived in history. Together, we'll consider: • The historical evidence for the life, death and resurrection of Jesus • Why the New Testament is supported by multiple eyewitness accounts and early sources • How the letters of the Apostle Paul provide some of the earliest testimony about Jesus • The significance of the disciples' eyewitness claims and the growth of the early church • What "undesigned coincidences" reveal about the reliability of the Gospel accounts • Why the person of Jesus continues to transform lives today Whether you're exploring Christianity for the first time, wrestling with questions of faith, or seeking to deepen your confidence in the truth of the Gospel, this message invites you to investigate the evidence and consider who Jesus really is. "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name." — John 20:31 💻 Join us live every Sunday at 10:15am AEST: church.nu/live 🌐 Find a location and plan your visit: church.nu If you made a decision to follow Jesus or would like someone to pray with you, we'd love to connect with you: hello@church.nu If you'd like to partner with us in the mission of seeing more people encounter Jesus, you can give here: church.nu/giving
