A friend has taken up meditation and seems calmer than ever. Another says, "I was born Buddhist, and I'll die Buddhist." You want to share Jesus, but you're not sure where to begin.
You can understand what draws people to Buddhism and still share the good news with confidence. In this two-part course, Pastor Steve Cioccolanti, who has written a book on Buddhism, guides you to start where Jesus started: with the problem before the solution.
You'll discover:
What the goal of witnessing really is, and why "just believe" falls short
How Buddhist meditation differs from biblical meditation
Why he says the easygoing Buddhism presented in the West is far from the real thing
Which of Buddha's five precepts match the Ten Commandments, and how that opens a conversation
How to answer "Buddha came before Jesus" and "I have to worship my idols"
"Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith." (Galatians 3:24, NKJV)
Watch it and be ready when the conversation turns to Buddha.
