Winter Sunday School Series
“I want to talk about Jesus with my non-Christian coworker, but I don’t feel like I know the answers to all their questions.”
Many of us have expressed a sentiment like this. Life is complicated. Ideas, philosophies, religions, arguments, counterarguments, hot-takes, and viral memes that go against the Gospel of Jesus Christ seem to multiply daily.
Yet, Scripture calls us to “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).
That is what “apologetics” is all about: equipping you with the the ability to understand, articulate, and defend your own beliefs—to your family/friends, to non-Christians, and even to your own heart. Join us for this winter series covering the basics of apologetics and how to reason Christianly about some of the thorniest topics of life.
