Why Are You Smiling? (Amos 5:18-27)

In this sermon we'll turn to Amos 5:18-27. In this passage, Amos attempts to shake his audience out of their complacent attitude toward sin. The Israelites looked forward to the Lord's return. However, they did not realize that on that day, God would judge them for their false worship and lack of justice. As God's people today, we should look forward to the Lord's return, but we should also make sure that we are living in a way that honors Him.

What's The Problem? (Amos 2:6-16)

In this sermon we'll look at the specific sin issues that God wants to address with the Israelites (and with us) in Amos 2:6-16. We'll talk about things like greed, selfishness, immorality, and exploiting others. God threatens judgment for sins like this, but He also shows us abundant grace through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Look In The Mirror! (Amos 1-2)

In this sermon, we will be challenged by the truth that God really does care about and judges sin. Amos 1-2 tells us that God not only cares about the sin of unbelievers and other believers, but about our sin as well. Before we spend too much time condemning others, we should look in the mirror and see if our own hearts are right before God.

Double-check Your Life (2 Peter 3:14-18)

In this sermon we will finish up 2 Peter. In 2 Peter 3:14-18, Peter summarizes and builds on a lot of what he has already covered in the letter. Believers should double check how they live, make the best use of the time God has given them, remain firm in the truth, and grow spiritually.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself: "Does my life reflect what I say that I believe?" "Am I growing spiritually?"

Double-check Your Hope (2 Peter 3:1-13)

Double-check Your Destiny (2 Peter 2:10-22)

2 Peter 2:10-22 will examine the destiny/eternal future of several groups of people. First, we'll see that the destiny of false teachers is judgment. They will not get away with their wrong. However, we need to be careful; because those who are influenced by false teachers and who are controlled by their sin will also face judgment. Yet, there is good news for God's people, because our destiny is to be with Him forever.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself: "Do I really believe that God will hold every person accountable for their actions?" "If that is true, how should that influence how I live?"

Double-check Your Sources (2 Peter 1:16-21)

In this sermon our focus will be on the sufficiency of Scripture from 2 Peter 1:16-21. In other words, we'll look at the truth that God's Word is all that we need to know Him. Peter was an eyewitness of Jesus, so his words can be trusted. Yet even he placed a greater emphasis on the absolute truth of Scripture. Scripture has authority for our lives because it comes from God, not from man.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself: "Do I believe that the Bible is all that I need to know God?" "Why or why not?"

Double-check Your Reminders (2 Peter 1:15-15)

Using the idea of reminders on your phone/calendar (appropriate for the end of Daylight Savings Time), in this sermon, 2 Peter 1:15-15 will challenge us with how our lives can be a reminder to others of the gospel. We have limited time on earth; we must be about our mission of making disciples by passing on what we know about Jesus to those who will follow u s in the faith.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself: "Does my life remind others of the truth?" "How am I using my time on earth?"
