    Christians have a long-standing tradition of being confused about church leadership and the identity of the Christian lay person. The Corinthian church experienced this problem even in the middle of the first century! Who are we?

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013

    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
