What is Apologetics and Why Is It Important? | Apologetics Month - Week 1

In this powerful message, Pastor Justin McLane kicks off Apologetics Month with a foundational teaching: What is Apologetics and Why Is It Important?

Using key scriptures such as 1 Peter 3:15-16 and 2 Timothy 4:16, we explore what it means to defend the faith with truth, grace, and conviction. Apologetics isn’t about winning arguments—it’s about being prepared to lovingly and clearly explain the reason for the hope we have in Christ.

We also look at:

  • Matthew 11:1-11 – How Jesus responded to doubts and questions with compassion.

  • James 2:14-19 – The relationship between faith and action as a testimony to a watching world.

  • Ephesians 2:8 – The central message of grace in our defense of the Gospel.

  • 1 Timothy 3:1-13 – The character of those who lead and represent Christ’s church.

Whether you're new to the idea of apologetics or want to deepen your understanding, this message will encourage and equip you to stand firm in your faith and speak truth in love.
