In Defense of the Gospel
Popular-level teaching series to help prepare and equip believers to defend belief in Jesus

![]() Since being formally introduced to the study of Apologetics as an undergrad, I have been committed to sharing what I've learned with audiences in churches and schools.
As my studies continued, I came to realize that the number of concerns in the various topics of the field necessitated the development of a focus and approach that could be more easily mastered by those who have neither the time nor specialized training the time to pursue all the sub-topics in the field. At about the same time, I noticed in my various bookstore browsing and reading materials that more and more popular level presentations were appearing that were devoted to challenges to traditional belief about Jesus and the ____ gospels to present accurate information about him. Accordingly, I began to focus on and develop materials especially devoted to presenting the case for Christ. (As it happened, this was precisely the issue of concern in the pluralistic Greco-Roman cultre comparable to our own.) The courses below are boiled down versions of more elaborate studies, designed to raise the awareness and ability to defend belief by the so-called average Christian in the pew. . . . (The exception . . . another issue that troubles average Christians and in which I have also had a special interest . . .) As noted below, each series can be adapted to fit different settings and schedules. . . . amount of preparation is not as important as the fact that we are presenting . . . My goal is to help Christ's body realize the expectations stated by Paul and Peter: to prepare and equip believers to defend their belief in Jesus (1 Peter 3:15; Ephesians 4:12). If interested in your situation . . . please contact me at david@davidanguish.com for more information, to discuss possibilities, and/or to schedule a series. . . . ?

After Isaiah answered the call, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” with his enthusiastic, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isa 6:8 NIV), the Lord revealed that his service would be quite difficult. In fact, only a small remnant would accept his teaching (vv. 9-13).
What motivated him to accept the challenge and persevere is found in his call, recorded in Isaiah 6. In these lessons, designed to be presented on one Sunday or other short series format, we study this chapter, drawing on Isaiah's experience to encourage us as we serve in difficult times.
