LEARN | Scott Engle Presents: Defending Our Faith | Thursday, January 22 | 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. | Smith Worship Center
We have all been called by Jesus to be witnesses to him and to the salvation he offers all. But in a world where many people simply dismiss Jesus, how do we go about telling others the story of God’s faithfulness. In his first letter, Peter urges us to be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks but to do so with gentleness and respect (I Peter 3:15). In this two-hour lecture and discussion, we will explore ways in which we can all become better witnesses to Jesus in issues ranging from science to religions and philosophies. Lecture is free with optional $15 lunch. Register here.
