I Am with You (Genesis 28:10-22)
The heart of the biblical story is God's commitment to be with his people, and that is the blessing of the Christian life, the nearness and with-ness of God.
Make Every Effort: Part 2 (2 Peter 3:14-18)
When we are short-sighted and focus only on what's immediately in front of us we are tempted to not press on in our spiritual walk, but the safest thing for the believer is to keep moving forward with our focus on the eternal.
One Fact! One Day! (2 Peter 3:8-13)
In light of the fact that God is above time, we should have confidence in his redemptive plan now. God's future redeeming work should shape our lives today.
Remember the Word (2 Peter 3:1-7)
Often our faith doesn't need new information, rather we need to be reminded of the story to which we belong if we are in Christ. God's word helps us to stand firm, recognize false teaching, and trust in God's promises.
Dogs Returning to Vomit! (2 Peter 2:17-22)
To hear the word of grace, the word of God, tacitly believe in it, then to walk away chasing competing voices is no better than a dog who returns to their vomit. Our task is to listen to God's word understanding that Christ is the center of reality and the only voice that matters. All others are false.
Rebuked by a Donkey (2 Peter 2:11-16)
Rejecting the wisdom of God and his word makes us more foolish than a donkey. Our confidence comes only in obedience and trust in God; therefore, we need to fight to hear God's voice over all the competing voices.
Rescuer and Judge (2 Peter 2:1-10)
God is both a rescuer and judge, and it depends on what you believe about him and his truth that reveals which one he is for you.
Established in the Truth (2 Peter 1:10-15)
The call to salvation and the call to follow Jesus are the same call. Therefore, the christian life is a life on the move. It is not static. It is a dynamic life always moving toward Christ.
Make Every Effort (2 Peter 1:5-9)
As we continue our Confident in Chaos series, Thomas Walters reminds us that we make every effort for spiritual growth because it is God's power that works in us.
Granted All Things (2 Peter 1:1-4)
We begin our 2 Peter series, "Confident in Chaos," with a sermon entitled "Granted All Things." We have everything we need to have confidence in this world.
