apologetics

“but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ‭ESV‬‬

In the light of Peter’s mandate, we can define apologetics as the defense of the faith. As a theological science, it is the discipline by which we learn to give reasons for our hope, always honoring Christ and showing love for inquirers.

March 22 - April 5 @ 6pm

Today we see attacks on churches, on Christianity and on Jesus Christ, and many have distorted the image of Jesus so that He is barely recognizable. Based on the book "The Case for the Real Jesus," an exploration will be facilitated by Larry Lynch to identify the real Jesus as promulgated by the gospels, and how this identity differs from what we are shown incessantly by Hollywood, historians, Internet bloggers and others.

Book purchase is recommended and is available for purchase on Amazon.

In this unapologetic apologetics class, we'll dismantle the deceptive teachings of:

Jehovah's Witnesses
Roman Catholicism
Mormonism
the Occult

(including mention of New Age remedies)

and Worldviews with Atheistic DNA

Using scripture as our standard, we'll separate truth from error, tradition from revelation, and man made religion from the gospel of grace. You'll be equipped to lovingly and confidently share truth with those trapped in error and protect your faith from counterfeit gospels.

If it didn't come from God, we're not buying it. And yes, we're bringing verses.
