    Many young people go to college as Christians, but due to the secularism and the anti-Christian propaganda force-fed them, they become agnostics or atheists.They must become knowledgeable of the foundations of their Christian faith.

    THE TOP 7 LIES YOU’LL HEAR AT COLLEGE INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: WHAT AISLE IS THE POLISH SAUSAGE ON? 1. People today over-react, especially about politically correct topics. There was a customer who asked, "In what aisle could I find the Polish sausage?" 2. The clerk asked, "Are you Polish?" ...read more

    How To Give A Defense For Your Hope

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013
     | 5,744 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

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013
     | 3,538 views

    The fact that we do not have the original autographs of the New Testament manuscripts has led many to deny that the New Testament that we have is reliable. This lesson shares 10 reasons why we can know the Bible is trustworthy.

    The fact that we do not have the original autographs of the New Testament manuscripts has led many to deny that the New Testament that we have is reliable. The phrase, "The Bible's been translated and recopied so many times..." has been one of the more frequent objections that are given to ...read more

    Bustin' Barriers

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 29, 2013
     | 3,749 views

    Our fears of sharing our faith often revolve around how people will respond. What if they reject us or worse raise questions and issues for which we have no answer? Then what do we do?

    Bustin’ Barriers I Peter 3:15b-16 and 1 John 1:5-7 Our Scripture today commands us to always be ready to share the hope we have in our lives, that is, the Good News of Jesus Christ. Those moments can come to us spontaneously. But more often than not, they happen when we are intentional about ...read more

    The Victory Of The Suffering Of Christ

    In His victory we are made victorious, even when we suffer unjustly, and for His cause.

    THE VICTORY OF CHRIST’S SUFFERING. 1 Peter 3:13-22. Who will harm us if we do that which is good (1 Peter 3:13)? The question is rhetorical. If God be for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)? Yet even if we do seem to suffer for righteousness’ sake (1 Peter 3:14), we have the blessing of ...read more

    This message from my youth ministry days was my attempt to explain the reasons some churches were unfriendly and some individuals were thoughtless with regards to the feelings of others in the church. The text is 1 Peter 3:8-18

    Thick Skinned and Tender-hearted TEXT: I Peter 3:8-18 INTRODUCTION: “I was a stranger in the city. The church sign read, ‘Welcome‘, so I went in. I smiled at the Sunday school children as they rushed to their classes. Neither they nor their parents greeted me. After I sat ...read more

    Tis Better To Give

     | 5,598 views

    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

     | 6,010 views

    God wants us to be available and to use the gifts, time and talents He has given us to serve Him and grow His church. We do not need a Seminary education or special training, just a willingness to follow His lead.

    Exodus 3:1-14, 4:1-3 and 10-13 1st Peter 3 v.9-17 (esp. v 15) SERMON – Always be prepared to give an answer Every page in the bible contains good advice and that contained in 1st Peter 3 is no exception, and I would like to concentrate on one verse in particular: v.15.

    We are NOT called to defend THE faith, but rather to stand up for OUR faith.

    Defenders of the Faith? One of the most frequently misapplied verses in the Bible is I Peter 3:15-17. It is often taken out of context and used to prompt believers into being defenders of the faith! It says, “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an ...read more

    A response to claims that "evidence" that Jesus was married is “apt to send jolts through the world of biblical scholarship - and beyond.”

    Was Jesus Married? “Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.” 1 Timothy 4:7 “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” 1 Peter 3:15 Popular characters tend to be used, ...read more

    Why We Believe

    Most Christians believe because their parents did and they have since birth. But what reason can we give to those who are not already convinced?

    What is our universal story of hope? It is the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

    For the entire month of January, we are going to focus on this thing called evangelism. Now to me that word is sometime scary and evokes many different emotions. For those of you with the spiritual gift of evangelism, you may get a little excited because this is right up your ally and you’re ...read more

    What is my personal story of hope? Where do I see hope through Christ?

    Last week we talked about the reason that we all have hope. We talked about the fact that God wants us so desperately and so passionately that He would die for us. And he did. And that is our story of hope as the body of Christ. But tonight, I want us to bring that point in a little closer to home. ...read more
