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?"

2 Peter: Double-check

In this sermon, we'll begin a new study through the short book of 2 Peter. 2 Peter is about making sure (or double-checking) that we know what we believe and that we are growing in the faith. This week in particular we'll talk about the equal standing every believer has in Jesus Christ from 2 Peter 1:1-4. We'll also look at how God has given us everything we need to live for Him and grow in godliness.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself: "Is my faith in Jesus the same or different from that of other Christians?" "Do I feel like God has really given me everything that I need?"
