Since everyone knows God (Rom. 1:18–23), how does that affect our defense of the faith?

Summary

The sermon argues that people know God exists through creation, as referenced in Romans 1, but suppress this knowledge due to moral rebellion, not intellectual doubt. While the Holy Spirit is ultimately necessary for belief, intellectual defenses of Christianity are crucial for silencing objections, preparing for evangelism, and strengthening believers against skeptical challenges. The takeaway is that a reasoned defense of faith is a vital component of proclaiming the gospel.
