Catechism Reading: Paragraph #31
Review, Link & Introduce:
Last week we took a look at the role Jesus should play in our lives and how Jesus and his teachings are the answers to the problems we face in our lives and in the world. Unfortunately there are people around you who at various times in your life will try to convince you God and Jesus do not exist. Even worse is the fact that some of these people will attack your faith when you are in college and away from family and friends. So, in tonight's class we will learn several reasons that will allow us to attain certainty about the truth of the existence of God and the real Jesus.
Lesson:

- #10 - Does evolution disprove the existence of God?

- #4 - Can we trust the Gospel accounts of Jesus' life? I heard they were written decades or even centuries later by anonymous authors.
- #12 - I heard that Jesus was married and that the Church suppressed other Gospels that depict him as just an ordinary man and not the Son of God. Is this True?
- #20 - What should I believe about Jesus?
