Always Being Ready: How This Series Works, RRE 8
Religion Ruins Everything Daily 8 9.18.16
During this series, there are two sets of messages working in tandem with each other:
Sunday: Topics that are objections to belief that people in our culture bring up a lot.Daily Videos: How Jesus talked to people when they raised objections in His day.
An important part of being a well-equipped believer in the modern world is to know the kinds of things people are talking about. Each Sunday covers a common saying in our culture that is against religion.
14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats do not be frightened.” 15 But in your hearts revere 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, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
1 Peter 3:14–17 NIV
As you watch Jesus talk to people, notice how He:
Asks questions
Tells stories
Doesn’t attack
Doesn’t get bent out of shape
As we follow Jesus and become learners in our culture, may God help us to know the topics of our neighbors and know the manner in which our neighbors will receive the Gospel.
