Peter wants Christians to be prepared to give people a reasonable and settled answer for the hope that lies within them. What really determines how a person lives is what penetrates their heart, but the heart and the mind must stand together. Christians are to provide not just a feeling for the hope that is within them, but a reasonable defense. The primary encouragement & challenge to “always being ready” is not flashy = carefully study your Bible. Peter's sermon in Acts are good case studies of apologetics. Three things Peter does in each sermon are quickly seen: 1. He knew the Scriptures. 2. He knew Jesus well. 3. He was ready and willing to put his faith into action and give a defense of his hope. Peter’s example teaches us to know Scripture and be ready to go with it.

Online sermons from Grace Baptist Church of Chariton Iowa. Preaching the gospel to anyone willing to listen!
Imagine that a friend or family member who is unfamiliar with your Christian faith asks you to summarize the gospel. She isn’t looking for a laundry list of doctrines. She has no interest in hearing you recite the Apostles’ Creed. She wants to get to the heart of the matter. “In seven words or less,” she says, “tell me what you believe as a Christian.” To be a Christian is to “believe with your heart” and “confess with your mouth” the good news of God’s love for us in Christ (Romans 10:9–10). Peter calls us to be prepared always to give a reason for the hope we have as Christians (1 Peter 3:15). Christians have the best news in the world to share. But are we prepared to share it? In our midweek worship we will we work together to formulate faithful Christian confessions. Come prepared to contribute to the conversation!

“We have lost the art of Christian persuasion and we must recover it.” - Os Guinness
Next in our series, we take a practical look at how to share the message of Christ. First, we must believe that we are called to persuade people to accept Jesus. The verse in 1 Peter 3 tells us this, and throughout Pau’s letters, he pleads and begs us to engage in reconciliation between man and God. Pastor Jim Turney shares some scripture and ideas to help you become a bold messenger for Christ.
