So Many Denominations, Which 1 IS True..?

Jeremy Talks About Apologetics

So I'm sure most of us here heard of the word apologetics.

Apologetics is NOT about apologizing. Apologetics is NOT something to replace our faith in Lord Jesus Christ. Apologetics is NOT JUST about defending our faith.


So what is this apologetics..??

My definition of apologetics is "presentation of facts in order to defend faith in Christianity with the determination to try win over the hearts of non-believers by presenting facts and evidences, yet with full of respect and polite in the process of countering questions of those who question in a doubtious or challenging manner."

We should know at least a bit about apologetics, for in the Bible itself says,

^"15But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, ¹⁶keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. " -- 1 Peter 3: 15-16

So allow me to propose a question to you.

What do you understand about apologetics..?

Salvation.

Exodus 15:2 NIV

² The LORD is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him,
my father's God, and I will exalt him.

An Encouragement From Our Dear Rev. Koshy,

Today was Reverend Koshy's last visit to our KPC, as he won't be able to visit us for a very, very long time. But Rev. Koshy left us a very meaningful verse as an encouragement for all of us, and for all of you young people out there;

2 Corinthians 5:19-20 KJV

=King James Version=
¹⁹To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
²⁰Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

=New International Version=

¹⁹that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. ²⁰We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.

A Verse On Revival (III)

Isaiah 57:15

¹⁵ For this is what the high and lofty One says—
he who lives forever, whose name is holy:
"I live in a high and holy place,
but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Courage.

¹¹ "Amariah the chief priest will be over you in any matter concerning the LORD, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the tribe of Judah, will be over you in any matter concerning the king, and the Levites will serve as officials before you. Act with courage, and may the LORD be with those who do well."

The Great Commision.

The Great Commission

¹⁶Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. ¹⁷When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. ¹⁸Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in^[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
