Steady Sojourners - 1 Peter 2:11-17

Jude, the half-brother of Jesus, is greatly concerned for the church. Why? Because God’s salvation communicated through the gospel is under attack. In the name of liberty, freedom, and tolerance, certain unbelievers have crept in the church, undermining the authority of Christ and the nature of true grace in salvation.

On this Sunday, Brad teaches us from Jude 1:1-6 to contend for the faith-don't add to it, don’t take away from it, for it has been delivered “once and for all.”

In this final paragraph of 2 Peter, the Apostle encourages his readers to live in accordance with the hope of Jesus' return.

Join us we close out our time with 2 Peter.

In 2 Peter 3, the Apostle doesn’t provide us with any new information to respond to, but, led by the Spirit of Truth, Peter is going to stir up our “sincere mind(s)” (3:1) by “remembering the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord,” (3:1-2) so that we may steady our thoughts and remember that what is happening is happening because God said so.

As gathered Christians, we want to hear from only from God's Word and guard ourselves against heretical teaching that will divide and ensnare us.

Join us as we look to 2 Peter 2:1-22 for training on how to identify false teachers and false teaching in the church for the sake of holiness.
