What Scoffers will Say
Through out chapter two of Second Peter, the Apostle has been focusing on what false teachers will look like. Now as we begin chapter three, his focus will be enlarging upon what they will say. Peter explains that they deny that God is involved in our world in any meaningful way. Join us as we learn what two ways God has involved Himself in our World as proof He will do it again in our future.
Can You Lose Your Salvation?
A heated argument that has raged in the Church for centuries is the question of the security of the believer. As we come to the end of 2 Peter chapter 2 in our verse by verse study of the New Testament, we are forced to deal with this issue. Join us as we seek to unlock the meaning of what the Apostle Peter has written to us.
Description of a False Teacher
The Apostle Peter takes all of 2 Peter chapter 2 to focus on what we would call a dangerous man in the pulpit. He is describing the person who tells us they represent God, but they do not. All of this is shared by Peter in order that we not find ourselves being victimized. Join us as we arm ourselves with God’s truth.
Difficulties have a way of revealing problems in our characters that we otherwise wouldn’t have known. The current pandemic has revealed a divisiveness in the church that we need to overcome. The Apostle Paul in Romans 14 gives us a Biblical road map on how to foster unity in the midst of strong disagreement.
Jesus commands us in His Word to "love your neighbor as yourself." The real question is who is my neighbor? Is it just the person that lives next door to us, or is it the oppressed that live on the other side of the world? Join us as we welcome Joe Mann as he shares about his ministry with Destiny Rescue.
Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing
Arriving now at 2 Peter chapter 2 for the first time, we come to the main topic that Peter wants to discuss, which is the description of and the fate of the false teacher. Peter tells us that many will be abused by these teachers. Join us, and let’s seek together to be instructed by Peter so that we will not become another victim.
The Trustworthiness of the Bible
Many say that the Bible is the product of men or the product of religious frauds taking advantage of the gullible. But where Peter now takes us at the end of 2 Peter chapter 1, is he’s giving us two powerful reasons why we can have confidence that the Bible truly is a revelation from God.
Ready, Not Ready
Jesus said that there were certain signs that will indicate the closeness of His return. But recognizing the signs and being ready for the close of the age are two very different things. In Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins, five young women are called “wise” and five, “foolish” based on their preparedness. How can we know with certainty that we are ready for the coming Day that is ahead?
How to Never Be Deceived
The New Testament is very clear on the fact that the closer we get to the second coming of Christ there will be an increase of false teachers in the Church. What our study in Second Peter will provide for us, is important instructions on how not to be deceived. In fact, Peter will inform us that if we follow his instructions we will never be deceived. Join us as we discover how to discern between truth and error.
