The Great Pretenders (5 of 7)
Series: Get Real
Pastor Jeff Schreve
2 Peter 2:9
We are in a series on Sunday nights in the book of 2nd Peter called, "Great Real: How to Live an Authentic Christian Life." And tonight, we want to talk about this subject, "The Great Pretenders."
Now, how many in this room ever watched the television show, "Lost in Space?" Did anybody ever watch "Lost in Space?" All right. More on this side than on that side.

Tonight, we are going to look at 2nd Peter, the end of chapter 2, and we're going to see how Peter was waving his arms and saying, "Warning, warning, danger, danger," and it had to do with imposters, with pretenders, with false prophets. All of chapter 2 is about false prophets. And, really, all of the book is about authentic Christianity and seeing authentic Christianity and false Christianity.
