What Is Christianity?

The message at the heart of Christianity is pretty simple. On this three-minute video, find out what it's all about.

There are details of how to ask any questions you have at the bottom of the page.

Who is Jesus?

CEM-Who-is-Jesus He’s the Christ. The King who God himself had promised to send, who would put everything right by setting up a kingdom of justice and love. He’s also the Son of God. God himself, entering the world as a human being. Jesus proved who he was by what he did. He healed people. He calmed storms. He raised the dead.

By doing these things, the King was giving a glimpse of life in his kingdom. A perfect place, with no suffering, fear or death. It’s the world we all want.

Why did Jesus come? To be rejected

But many people rejected Jesus. They thought they’d be happier making their own rules and living outside his kingdom. This rejection of the King is something we all do. Jesus called it sin.

It damages our lives and will eventually leave us separated from the joy of being in the kingdom.

God won’t let those who reject the King live with him. So we face what Jesus called hell. An existence without anything good, forever.

Why did Jesus come? To be killed

People rejected the King so violently that they killed him by nailing him to a cross. But his death wasn't a mistake by God – it was a masterstroke.

On the cross, Jesus was cut off from God’s friendship and goodness. He chose to experience hell – so that we don’t have to. The sinless King died to take the punishment sin deserves.

Jesus was opening the way into his kingdom.

Why did Jesus come? To rise again

Three days after his execution, his tomb was found to be empty. Over the next few weeks many ate with Jesus. Dozens spoke with him. Hundreds saw him. Jesus the King could not be contained by death.

He had risen!

What does is mean for us?

CEM-What-does-it-mean-for-us So, today, right now, Jesus is inviting people to come into his kingdom. He tells us to repent and believe the good news.

Repent means to turn around, to live with Jesus in charge instead of ourselves. Believe means to trust that Jesus has done everything we need to give us a place in his kingdom.

Living with Jesus as King isn't easy. His followers will be rejected, just as he was. But they also live a life of deep security, satisfaction, and joy, knowing God and his forgiveness, being helped by his Spirit, and looking forward to the King’s return, when he will finally establish his loving kingdom forever.

Jesus offers all this to anyone and everyone who repents and believes.

Hebron is a Christian Church... What does that mean?

A Christian is someone who believes that Jesus is the Son of God, and that he lived a perfect life and died and rose again to mend our broken relationship with the God who made us. A Christian knows that it is their sin that has destroyed their relationship with God (and every other relationship) and only Jesus can deal with this problem. A Christian knows that Jesus died to take the punishment for sin that they deserve (death) and give them what they could not earn for themselves - fullness of life with God!

What can I expect at Hebron's church meetings?

Our welcome team & stewards will make you feel at home and help your find way around.

Our Family Service at 11:00 is led by members from our church and includes singing, reading the Bible, prayers, and a sermon or message from the Bible. If you want to know what our messages are like you can listen online here. We have activities for children during these meetings too. Click here for more info. On alternate Sundays we also include the Lord's Supper in our service. This is a special time where Christians remember the death of Jesus by taking bread and wine - symbols that remind us of his body and blood given for us. This part of the service is also known as Communion.

Our Evening service at 18:00-19:00 is a varied programme, some weeks will have a focus on singing together, other weeks will have a Bible Study, prayer or communion focus. This will be a relaxed setting where everyone should find something of interest.

What if my children are noisy?

We love having children as part of our church family. God loves children and we do too! There are lots of children who come to Hebron who make varying degrees of noise. There is a crèche where you can take little ones. We also have a great children and teenagers programme where your child will be kept happy and taught during the sermon part of the service. You can find more about our children's activities here.

How long do your meetings last?

Most of our meetings on a Sunday last about an hour. You can find all the meeting times here.

What should I wear?

It really doesn't matter! Come as you are in whatever you feel comfortable.

The only churches I've known have been freezing. Will it be cold?

We have a newly renovated building with a modern heating system so you should be OK even in Aberdeen winters!

Do I have to bring money with me?

No, if you would like to know more about making a donation at Hebron see our giving page.

Where can I park?

There is parking available on the surrounding streets, in Golden Square and in the multi-storey car park on Huntly Street. Most streets and car parks have charges from 1pm to 5pm on Sundays but Skene Street is free all day Sunday and you'll usually get a space there if you're early enough! There are four spaces on the street right outside the church which we try to leave for those who really need them - but there is space there to drop people off if you need to
