Conclusion: A Vision for Faithful Apologetics | Defending Our Hope (Lesson 12)

This is the twelfth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. In the final lesson, we bring the threads together by affirming that faithful apologetics must be rooted in a comprehensive Christ-centered worldview. You will be reminded that defending the faith is not merely about technique but about seeing all of life through the “spectacles of Scripture.” From metaphysics to ethics, Christ's lordship governs our understanding and our witness. This conclusion encourages you to press on in the calling of 1 Peter 3:15—to make a defense for the hope within you—with clarity, humility, and unwavering trust in the sufficiency of God's word.

The story in 2 Kings 6 contains small yet monumental events. The swimming axe head appears so inconsequential and insignificant, causing us to ask  verses  'Why is it recorded?'. Because it demonstrates our God's care for the small, as well as the great. Next follows the tale of Elisha's being surrounded and protected by the Almighty's fiery chariots - the new prophet now carried Elijah's mantle, both literally and figuratively. He was now His Sovereign's vehicle. To the prophet's servant he asks the LORD to open the servant's eyes as Elisha says to him  verses  "they that be with us are more than those who are with them". Elisha teaches Israel's faithless king and the Syrian king of God's invincibility. The prophet demonstrated the mercy of his God. Finally, in Ben-Hadad's siege of Samaria we see the extremities to which the city is brought. Yahweh protects Elisha from the murderous intentions of the wicked king to teach Israel and all of the Almighty's servants to depend on their God. Lamentations 2 tells us of the untold sorrows that come of Jerusalem, the land of Judah and our Sovereign's people. Read the horrific depiction and desolation of the LORD's people. This devastation was brought by a vengeful enemy - Babylon. But of a truth the Babylonians were in fact the agents of punishment from the LORD Himself. The lesson is explained in Romans 11   verses  22-23. It is our choice as to which facet of God we want to face - goodness (mercy); or severity (retribution for our wrongs). Slowly and carefully read these   verses  aloud and ponder the path that you will choose to walk. In 1 Corinthians 15 the Apostle outlines the incontrovertible proofs of Christ's resurrection before hundreds of eyewitnesses, in many locations and over a prolonged period - 40 days  verses  Acts 1  verses 1-3. It could not be said that Christ was not resurrected. And thank God for that, since apart from that event our sins could not be forgiven -   verses  12-19. Our Lord Jesus Christ Lord rose 3 days after his crucifixion and was the first fruits of the resurrection - his faithful disciples will join him when they are raised at his coming -   verses  21-23. The process of perfecting the faithful in Christ's 1,000-year rule is described in verses  24-28, by God sending His Son to the earth to set up the long-promised kingdom. A 1,000 years later will complete this stage of the Almighty's purpose with the earth. That purpose is spoken of in Numbers 14, verses 20-21; Psalm 72, verses 1-20 - read and consider; Habakkuk 2, verses 14, 20; Revelation chapters 20-22. At this time the Lord Jesus Christ will hand over the perfect earth to his Father, who as Supreme Creator will be all and in all. How impossible are trinitarian notions when we are told that our Lord will acknowledge his subservient position to His Father, God. A short discourse follows on the need for each of us sin sin-prone beings to be baptised, that we may be raised to eternal life. A treatise on the differences between our natural bodies and those raised and bestowed upon with the life from heaven comes next. Paul tells of the superiority of Christ over Adam, who in many ways was a parable of the Son of Man - the Christ. What a time that will soon come and how we yearn for it (read of it in Isaiah 25, verses 6-9; and Hosea 13, verses 14, as cited by the Apostle). Finally, read aloud and meditate on   verses  57-58.  Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow at   https  verses //christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/

FAITH AND HOPE AND TINEKE Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance (hypostasis – the abiding basic reality) of things (pragma – work and business of God) hoped for, the evidence of things not seen…. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.  Faith is abiding in the supernatural work of God doing his will for us in the world of the unseen in the things we hope for - and the assurance of his perfect will coming to pass. In that faith we surrender our will for us to his will for us. Faith is completed in observing the event that comes to pass in God's sovereign will. When we observe the event we give thanks, and we receive more understanding of who God is. But what we pray to happen may not happen in the way we had first hoped it would. Jesus said ‘If there be any other way, take this cup of suffering from me nevertheless not my will but thine be done' Hope is the ongoing trust in the eventuality of God's perfect will being accomplished in his way and in his time for our prayer. It sits in the middle of our desire and God's will and his timing. Tineke and I lived in that hope. The Holy Spirit bears witness to our spirit when we receive his gift of faith and it bears witness to our spirit for our hope. We had a witness of hope. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. The bible speaks of the people of faith in Hebrews 11 who died with the testimony of faith without receiving the promise. The completion of faith is the event of a promise. the completion of hope is the eventuality of a promise. The promise is always the perfect will of God for which we give thanks. We just read that the first experience of faith that God offers to us is about his creation of the world through his word. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God The word for ‘understand' in that verse is noe?? which means to observe and comprehend and be assured of that event. Most people observe and are in awe of the order and beauty of the universe and they attribute that wonder to a theory called evolution, but some receive a revelation by faith and observe and are in awe of the order and beauty of the universe that has been uttered into existence by God's Word.  I wont be speaking at the funeral of course so I'd like to share some things about Tneke and me now. The way I came to have that faith in God's creation was a long and winding road. It started when I met Tineke when she was a university student working as an assistant in a pharmacy during the holidays, and the owner of the pharmacy asked me to come and do a locum for him so he could go skiing. It happened that I was also at the same university as her, having gone back to uni to study medicine and so we continued the relationship from that time on, and then I was introduced to her family and I became a semi-permanent fixture at her home. I also decided to forget about doing medicine – another future had walked into my life. Tineke's mother Martha was a devoted Christian, and Martha was wary of this catholic university student who believed in evolution, which you had to do to pass the exams, and it was inconsequential to me at that time. But I remember the day years later, after I received a revelation of who Jesus was as my saviour and I read that verse about understanding that the worlds were framed by the word of God and it was a total and complete reality to me and I wondered what I had been thinking all my life. Martha and I got to love one another and lo and behold I ended up becoming her pastor at our church, Northern beaches Christian Centre. I was now living by faith – the faith that said that God was always working his will into our lives for our good in the world of the unseen. Then I realised that my faith was nothing but the abiding under the supernatural work of God for everything I could ever hope for in my life. That meant that I learned to live with the hope of the glory of God, as the Bible says, ‘we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Romans 5:2). The hope of the glory of God simply means living in the expectation of God being on display in our lives as we entrust everything to him to bring his will to pass in his way and in his time – that is a living hope, and that is what Tineke lived within over these last six months. But the next experience of faith that the Bible speaks about after creation is that of the faith of Abel – that is the faith I saw in Tineke's life and that is what I would like to share with you. By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. (verse 4) The faith of Abel was that he wanted to please God and so he offered a more excellent sacrifice to God than his brother. His willingness to let his life be a sacrificial offering to God was what I saw in the mind and heart of Tineke's soul as she sacrificially gave her life in lovingly serving God in serving her family and those outside her family that God had placed in her life to care for. And through that humble submission to God's will, Tineke being dead still speaks - and there are others from amongst us here who have gone to be with the Lord, and I believe their faith still speaks. At one stage I thought I had faith for her healing because of other Scriptures that spoke about healing and for which I asked for confirmation - and circumstances came about that appeared to suggest confirmation, but what truly remained as a witness in my spirit was hope and not a promise of faith that I could proclaim. Tineke suffered the ravages ofa dreadful disease and it was predicted that the immunotherapy would weaken her to the extent that it would not be tolerable but she struggled with an astounding courage but then a rogue infection hit her which was not discovered in time and her body could not withstand it. We sat with her as she took her last breath listening to a most special spiritual song that she had told lucy she wanted for her funeral. I had not been aware of that. The word that Tineke and I lived within and had agreement on was the word of hope that we held onto without wavering. Our hope remained in our trust in the goodness of God to be revealed in his way and in his time – and we left that in his hands  Tineke, being dead still speaks. Tineke's faith still speaks to me. It was over three years ago that I shared a vision that I had to bring understanding to people of the truth of the salvation of the soul receiving the goal of our faith, the salvation of the soul (1Peter 1:9). Tineke joined me in putting together of that vision of the healing and salvation of the soul and we shared in the Scriptures together and I attempted to put so many Scriptures together that came cascading upon each other and it became difficult for me to know where to start and how to end and what to put in the middle. Tineke called it a blueprint but she knew it had to be ordered and structured and presented in a way that could be received and understood.  Then one day Tineke read a verse from Habakkuk to me that The Lord had given her about our vision together for this. Habakkuk 2:2 Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Tineke helped me make the vision plain and to put the words in order and sequence so that people would understand it. It took about three years and I could not have done it without her and we were at the beginning of running it as a course so that people who heard it could run with it. Scott Kardash with his gift of knowledge of the word and his computer tech skills worked tirelessly with me to present it as a group discussion and I began to share it in Scott and Lisa's home to her home group. Then Tineke became critically ill – and now she is gone. It is as if Tineke and I were driving a beautiful car together when all of a sudden the wheels of the car fell off and Tineke was no longer there. And that is where I am now, and I am asking God what to do. But then I remembered the Scriptures that God gave to Tineke… For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. I don't know how I am going to do that as I feel empty of all energy and motivation but I know the grace of God will become my sufficiency and if it seems slow I will wait for it for it will surely come, it will not delay. Tineke being dead still speaks from that Scripture and I believe she would also like me to put the wheels back on that car and get back on track. And that gives me faith that God will speak, and I will hear him. Paul Sullivan - pauloss@me.com

Ability or Dependability? This week join Aaron with special guest Sean Butler as they unpack the Faithful fruit. In Scripture, the concept of faith is often misunderstood as mere belief or mental agreement. However, a deeper look at both the Hebrew (אָמֵן – aman, H539) and Greek (πιστεύω – pisteuō, G4100) roots reveals a fuller picture: faith is trustworthiness, reliability, and dependability—not just belief in God, but faithfulness to God. “The just shall live by his faith.” – Habakkuk 2:4 In both the Old and New Testaments, faith is consistently shown through action and loyalty. It's not enough to acknowledge God's existence; true faith manifests as consistent obedience and unwavering commitment to God's ways. This is why Abraham was counted righteous—not because he believed God existed, but because he trusted and obeyed Him. Moses, too, is called faithful in all God's house—not because of what he believed, but because of how he lived. Even Jesus commended individuals for their faith when He saw their actions—like the friends who lowered the paralytic through the roof (Matt. 9:2) or the Canaanite woman whose persistence led to her daughter's healing (Matt. 15:28). A faithful husband is not judged by his beliefs, but by his consistency, loyalty, and actions. Likewise, God calls His people to demonstrate faith by their dependability—by living lives that reflect His character. Faithfulness is Dependability ● Keeping commitments, even when it's hard. ● Trusting God's Word enough to live by it. ● Showing up consistently—for others and for God. ● Obeying when it's inconvenient. ● Being loyal to God's Kingdom over worldly pressures. Faith is more than ability. It's not about being strong, talented, or capable in ourselves—it's about being reliable and loyal to God, just as He is to us: "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God." – Deuteronomy 7:9 Faithfulness is the Victory In the end, it's not ability but faithfulness that overcomes the world. “This is the victory that overcomes the world—even our faith.” – 1 John 5:4

In this weeks Leadership Lessons Pastor Josh Kelsey guides us through Habakkuk's raw wrestle with God and what it means for leaders today. Surrounded by injustice and silence, Habakkuk didn't suppress his doubts, he brought them to God. That's where true leadership starts: in prayer, not the flesh. God's response still speaks today: “I am doing something you would not believe.” Even when life feels confusing, He's working behind the scenes. The promise remains—“the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord” (Hab. 2:14). This knowledge isn't just information, but intimacy that grows in the secret place. As leaders, we're not called to build monuments, but to carry His glory. Our reality is freedom. Our mission is people. Our cause is love. Leaders set the atmosphere, the culture you carry will shape those you lead.

Welcome to episode 213 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we kick off our Fall series. Today, we talk about those times when God does not make sense.  Key takeaways:  The covenant God seems to be breaking covenant obligations.Habakkuk continuously cries, but God continuously doesn't respond. The prophet feels trapped in a cycle of unanswered prayer.If God sees everything and has power to stop evil, why does He merely observe without acting?God doesn't just rescue Habakkuk from low places; He elevates him to positions of spiritual authority and perspective that belong to Him.Habakkuk chooses joy before he sees any change in circumstances. Job 13:15 captures the tension between sovereign suffering and persistent faith. Job's statement isn't passive resignation—it's active, defiant trust. He's saying his relationship with God transcends even life and death. Whether God preserves or destroys him, God remains his God.Job understood something profound: his relationship with God wasn't based on what God did for him, but on who God is. This moves beyond transactional faith (serve God to get blessings) to transformational faith (serve God because He's worthy).Faith isn't blind optimism—it's confident trust based on God's proven character.·Choosing trust over understanding doesn't mean pretending everything is fine when it's not.  Trusting God means bringing your real emotions to Him, not hiding them from Him.Quotable:  God has already proven His love at a cross, and that love doesn't change based on your circumstances. Application:  Habakkuk shows us that faithful people can question God's methods while remaining committed to God's character.We don't live based on what we can see right now, but on what we know to be true about God's character and promises.How to pray when confused: Follow biblical models:Use the Psalms as prayer templates (especially Psalms of lament like 13, 22, 88)Be honest about your feelings while affirming God's characterAsk for wisdom (James 1:5) rather than demanding explanationsPray with others who can help bear your burdenI want to give you three specific steps to choose trust over understanding this week:First, write it down.  Write down one specific situation where you're demanding answers from God instead of trusting His character. Maybe it's a relationship, a health issue, a financial pressure, or a prodigal child. Please write it down.Second, declare it out loud. This week, I challenge you to speak Habakkuk's words over your situation. Stand in your kitchen, sit in your car, wherever you are, and say: 'Though _____ may not happen the way I want, though _____ may not change, yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the God of my salvation.' Fill in those blanks with your specific situation. Third, share it with someone. Don't carry this burden alone. Before Sunday comes again, I want you to text, call, or meet with one person and say, 'I'm struggling to trust God with _____.

We gathered in prayer and shared on biblical principles of restoration, unity, and burden-bearing within the body of Christ. We reflected on Galatians 6:2, considering how humility and submission allow us to bear one another's burdens and fulfill the law of Christ. Together we explored how spiritual growth and intimacy flow from right order—our relationship with God, then marriage, then the local assembly. The conversation also touched on Daniel's faith as an example of humility and dependence, showing how God's sovereignty works in the midst of human limitations. We emphasized that restoration is both personal and corporate, requiring us to be teachable, willing to receive comfort from others, and committed to walking in the Spirit. We concluded with prayer requests, reflections on sanctification as an ongoing process, and plans for fellowship, including an upcoming men's trip.

Rev. James Harper preaches on Habakkuk 2:5-18 in our sermon series, "Faith in Difficult Times." In Habakkuk 2:5-20, we discover powerful consolation for times when life seems unfair. God reveals that evil never has the final word, as demonstrated by Babylon's eventual fall after conquering Jerusalem. Even when our world feels chaotic, God remains sovereign on His throne, working through our suffering for greater purposes. Most importantly, through Jesus Christ, God offers to exchange our shame for His glory, covering us completely as waters cover the sea. These timeless truths provide comfort and perspective when we face personal injustices or witness global tragedies.

This is the eleventh lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Does proof have a place in a Reformed apologetic? In this lesson, we explore the proper use of evidence in defending the faith—not as a neutral tool but as a witness to divine truth when interpreted within the framework of Scripture. You will learn how logical arguments and historical evidences can support the gospel without compromising the authority of God's word. By examining biblical examples and distinguishing between uses of proofs that submit to God's revelation and those that presume autonomy, this lesson equips you to present compelling, faithful testimony to the truth of the risen Christ. 02:36 The Role of Evidence in a Reformed Apologetic 05:58 Logical Proofs and Their Limitations 11:46 The Use of Evidence 19:14 Heeding the Biblical Example 23:25 Summary and Conclusion Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

We had a recent request for the book of Habakkuk, and interestingly enough, my devotional was recently about Habakkuk, and a pastor mentioned the prophet as well. I took it as a sign.A lot of us struggle with anxiety and trust, and the book of Habakkuk encourages us to rejoice in the Lord, trusting Him even when everything else fails or seems like it's going wrong.I wanted to mention that I try to prepare a new episode every two weeks, but because of my health struggles with chronic illness, I won't always make that personal goal. I don't like to overshare about my journey or make it about me, but my life is very different now than it was 3 years ago. I live in survival mode. There were times when I was recording that I had to stop because of shortness of breath and presyncope, and I would cry and ask God to let me finish the episode. God is so good and has given me progress and is helping me get answers! I've also had setbacks along the way.This podcast has given me a ministry and a purpose, and for that I am extremely thankful. I believe that He will heal me in His perfect timing. I share this because I want you all to know that I am doing my best and recording as much as I can.

When you're out in the middle of the water on a vessel that seems large from land, you suddenly feel very small. Imagine being surrounded in that same way, by an overwhelming knowledge of the glory of the Lord!

Rev. James Harper preaches on Habakkuk 2:1-4 in our sermon series, "Faith in Difficult Times."   Finding peace while waiting on God requires patience, perspective, and obedience, as demonstrated in the book of Habakkuk. Patience means staying present with God through difficult circumstances, embracing humility and committing to spiritual growth. Perspective involves stepping back to see God's character, providence, and promises beyond immediate problems. Obedience calls us to remain faithful to God's ways even when they don't seem to be working. Interestingly, waiting also connects to serving others, creating a community where those in waiting seasons can receive support while they develop these essential qualities.

This is the tenth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Apologetics is not merely intellectual—it's spiritual warfare. In this lesson, we consider how to stand firm in the face of opposition, clinging to the truth of God's word and the hope we have in Christ. You will learn how to engage others with boldness and Christlike character, especially in moments of suffering or ridicule. We explore the role of the heart, the importance of gentleness and respect, and the need for readiness to follow conversations wherever they lead. Grounded in 1 Peter 3:15, this lesson prepares you to endure with faith and to speak the truth in love amid a hostile world. 01:53 Encountering Opposition 05:43 Engaging with Christ-like Character 09:04 Finding Confidence in the Word 12:43 The Apologetic Context of Suffering 16:21 Ready to Go Wherever the Conversation Leads 18:47 Seeking Apologetic Encounters 22:22 Summary and Conclusion   Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

Jim emphasizes that Jesus fully entered into human suffering, making Him uniquely able to comfort us in our pain. Rather than prosperity, God's glory is often revealed most powerfully through our brokenness and continued trust during difficult seasons. The message focuses on developing "ruthless trust" - a relentless reliance on God demonstrated through how we live, especially in dark times.   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49476511   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/5d70e059   ☞ NEXT STEPS

In this powerful exploration of the book of Habakkuk, we're invited to wrestle with God in our moments of doubt and confusion. The prophet Habakkuk's honest dialogue with God teaches us that it's okay to bring our big questions and frustrations directly to our Creator. As we dive into this three-chapter book, we see how Habakkuk's complaints about injustice and God's seeming inaction are met with grace and a broader perspective. This reminds us that God's ways are higher than ours, and His plans often extend far beyond what we can see. The beautiful transformation in Habakkuk's attitude - from questioning to worship - encourages us to trust God even when we don't understand His methods. This message challenges us to deepen our relationship with God by bringing our raw, unfiltered thoughts to Him, knowing that He is big enough to handle our doubts and loving enough to draw us closer through the process.

Summary: In this episode, Michael Easley sits down with Dan Bolin to share a deeply personal story of loss, faith, and enduring hope. Dan recounts the journey of his daughter's leukemia diagnosis, years of treatments, and the heartbreaking day she passed away. Through his family's story, we see the raw reality of grief—anniversaries that reopen wounds, moments when well-meaning friends don't know what to say, and the quiet ways God's grace holds us together. Dan reflects on how seasons of calm prepare us for storms, how couples grieve differently, and how the support of a close-knit community makes survival possible. He draws comfort from Scripture—passages like 1 Peter 1 and Habakkuk—that remind believers suffering is temporary and refining, and that ultimate joy awaits in Christ. For anyone walking through loss or coming alongside someone who is, Dan's story offers perspective: grief is real, storms are fierce, but God's promises remain steady. Takeaways: Anniversaries of loss often resurface deep grief. Prepare for storms in calm seasons by leaning into God and community. Trusted friends who simply show up can be life-giving in crisis. Couples grieve differently and need grace for each other's process. Scripture reframes suffering as refining, not meaningless. True hope looks beyond this life to eternity with Christ.
