As we begin the advent season, we look to the hope that we find in Jesus as we are reminded of our savior's birth!

Pastor Sean concludes the series through 2 Peter this week pointing out that while we await the promises of a new heaven and new earth we need to... 1. Be Ready 2. Be Patient 3. Be on Guard 4. Be Growing. How are we doing in those areas?

This week Kevin looks at the prescription, the problem, and the promise that Peter gives us in this passage. Are we going to be the kind of people who are living our lives for the Lord and fulfilling the great commission to go and make disciples? The problems still exist... There are scoffers, and people who will try to deceive you for their own gain, but the prescription has not changed... remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandments of the Lord and Savior through the apostles as we await the promise of a new heaven and earth where righteousness dwells.

As we continue to look at 2 Peter, the focus is turned to false teachers. Pastor Sean breaks down what Peter reveals about false teachers in this passage. He reveals their character, their strategy, their promises, and their results.

As we continue through 2 Peter, Peter emphasizes the fact that God always does what is right. Pastor Sean explains how he does that as both judge and redeemer in today's passage.

As people make claims contrary to the apostles' teachings, Peter reminds us that what He has taught them is born of God and he personally witnessed. Pastor Sean reminds us that we do not have a blind faith, but we can have confidence in the claims for the Bible, which brings us hope because those claims are true! What do you believe?

As we continue to look at 2 Peter, we see that Peter doubles down on his initial remarks. He shows the importance of what God grants as we grow and understand His guarantees. As a gospel community we need to remind each other of those truths, stirring up the desire to leave a lasting legacy of faith. How will P.V. as a church be remembered? How will we as individual believers be remembered?

As we continue through 2 Peter, Pastor Sean looks at verses 3-11 looking at the difference between God's indicatives (what God does) and His imperatives (what He commands). He unpacks three truths in this passage: what God grants us as believers; how we grow as believers; and what He guarantees us.
