Apologetics
... in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect ...
1 Peter 3:15
EQUIPPING THE BODY
Apologetics Resources
At Huron Chapel EMC we believe apologetics are becoming an ever increasing requirement in equipping the body to build up and solidify their faith and to effectively evangelize in our broken world. Including resources of apologetics in our study of God's word, can help in giving us deeper understanding and appreciation for the text we study.
Below is a list of resources we believe can be immensely impactful to your daily study. The resources below come from a variety of denominational backgrounds, and contain different theological beliefs. However different some of their beliefs may be, we have found their content to be biblically sound.
