Explore God - Christus Victor

January – February 2019

What is Explore God Chicago 2019?

Explore God Chicago 2019 is a Community Outreach Initiative led by a committee of local pastors and business and ministry leaders. We all have questions about God, faith, and purpose; Explore God is a unique effort to come together to look at these questions in an open, authentic way. Join us as we explore The 7 Big Questions.  

The Seven Big Questions

  1. Does Life Have a Purpose?

  2. Is There a God?

  3. Why Does God Allow Pain and Suffering?

  4. Is Christianity Too Narrow?

  5. Is Jesus Really God?

  6. Is the Bible Reliable?

  7. Can I Know God Personally?


What will this look like at Christus Victor?

Explore God at Christus Victor will have two major components:  a seven week preaching series called “The Seven Big Questions” and small groups of both believers and seekers for conversation on these seven big questions.
