Making Progress: Part 4
Part 4: Defending Your Faith
This is the passage that gives us the term “apologetics.” But Peter’s not talking about winning arguments. He’s talking about living with a hope that causes people to ask questions, and then having the wisdom, boldness and humility to answer those questions.

If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
