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.

Judges should be in agreement with the Stoa Statement of Faith. (copy available at end of slides) The speaker should craft the speech to the one asking the question whether curious, not in agreement, or Biblically uninformed.
LIMITED PREPImpromptu* Extemp ApologeticsMars HillApologetics is a unique event. Content is the essence. The student should: Use Scripture Use outside sources
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any
double-edged sword,it penetrates even to
dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the
heart. Hebrews 4:12
(NIV, ©2011)

The Big Finish…
For investing your time in these studentsThank you!!
There is one God eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. Man is sinful and therefore separated from God, who is holy and perfect. Jesus Christ paid the eternal penalties for our sin through His death on the cross. Jesus Christ also resurrected bodily and ascended into heaven and will return one day to fulfill His kingdom. Only through Jesus Christ and the grace of His provision of salvation, may we be saved from eternal punishment, enter into God’s family and receive eternal life. The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible and authoritative Word of God and the truth for Christian faith and practice.
