what is project 3:15?

How often have you heard someone ask or challenge with questions like: How can a good God allow evil? Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
Isn’t faith just an excuse not to think? These are questions that unbelievers and believers often find themselves wrestling with at some point in their lives.
That’s why we need an apologetic that is strong, stable, and engaging in a culture of unbelief. 
What is Christian apologetics? It’s not a course on how to apologize but is a word that describes the defense of the Christian faith.
“Apologetics” is the word that the Apostle Peter used when he wrote, “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” (1 Peter 3:15)
Project 3:15 is the annual apologetics conference of Main Street Church that seeks to equip Christ-followers to defend and share their Christian faith with confidence and compassion.

this year's focus:

I Don't Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist. This year's focus will be dealing with questions around truth, God's existence, miracles, and the reliability of the Bible. 

Why 3:15?

The name stems from 1 Peter 3:15, where Peter writes:
"But in your hearts set apart 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."

When is it?

The conference will take place on February 24th, 2024, from 9:00 am-4:00pm.

schedule and topics

*schedule and topics subject to change*

9:00am - Session one - Does truth exist?

Christianity cannot be true, nor can any other worldview (including atheism), if truth is relative or just true for you but not for me. The seminar will show you why truth is absolute and knowable, and how you can logically refute anyone who claims it isn’t.

10:15am - break

10:40am - session Two - does god exist?

There can be no Word of God unless God exists. You’ll see three powerful arguments for the existence of God — two scientific and one philosophical. Those arguments will be established without any reference to the Bible.

11:45am - Lunch

1:00pm - session Three - are miracles possible?

If miracles don’t happen as most university professors believe, then Christianity is nonsense. The seminar will show you that not only are miracles possible, but the greatest miracle of all has already occurred and we have scientific evidence for it.

2:15pm - break

2:30pm - session Four - Is The New Testament True?

Unless truth exists, God exists, and miracles are possible, the New Testament doesn’t have a prayer. But after establishing those points, you’ll see the Top Five Reasons to believe the New Testament is historically accurate — Jesus really did die and rise from the dead for the sins of the world. From the accuracy of the New Testament, the accuracy of the Old Testament can be established as well.
