    How To Give A Defense For Your Hope

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013
     | 5,704 views

    We're supposed to be prepared to give a defense for the hope that is within us. But how are we to go about that? Using Paul's defense in Acts 26 we'll lay the ground work for sharing your hope with others.

    In Acts 26:1-23, the apostle Paul is standing before King Agrippa and makes a compelling defense for the hope that was in him (Acts 26:1 ESV, 21:6; 1 Peter 3:15). As we read his defense (or sermon if you will,) we’ll learn some valuable tips that will help us all in presenting a defense for ...read more

    Expounding on 1 Peter 3:15-16, speaking about the urgent need to give the greatest gift of all — the good news of salvation — to the world.

    The message that we’ve heard, “A Strange Way to Save the World,” it really, really is. When you think of the manger, when you think of what God did, in John 3:16, that He loved the world so much that He sent His only begotten Son, that He came literally to die on the cross so that ...read more

    Christian Atheist: Witnessing Series

     | 4,441 views

    Christian Atheists, those who say they believe in God but often live as though He doesn’t exist, know they should share their faith, but don’t for whatever reason. I believe there are three reasons why we don’t share our faith.
