In this message from our Why series, Rev Dominic De Souza shares a personal and honest reflection on the question: Why Christianity? Throughout the sermon, Dominic explores four key reasons for why Christianity is compelling: Historically – examining the historical foundation of the Christian faith and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Philosophically – considering how Christianity offers meaningful answers to life’s deepest questions about truth, morality, and purpose. Existentially – reflecting on the human search for identity, meaning, and hope, and how the message of Jesus speaks directly into our personal struggles and longings. Experientially – sharing how faith in Jesus transforms lives, drawing from both his own story and the lived experiences of countless believers.
