2 Peter: What Do You Know? (24 of 29)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: What do you know today? Do you realize how often you hear that statement? It is one of those colloquial expressions that people use instead of hello. Many guys around here use it all the time. It is much the same as ''how are you?'' ''What are you up to?'' ''What's happening?'' ''What's up?'' You really don't have to answer questions like that. In fact, you are likely to irritate someone who asks you how you are doing, if you proceed to offer a long detailed explanation of your health. The correct answer for ''what do you know today'' is ''nothing much!'' That question-''what do you know?''-provides a good window into our next...
The Big Bang
by Stan Coffey
This morning I would like for you to turn to II Peter 3:10. I want to speak on the subject ''The Big Bang.'' Peter speaks of a time in God's future; God's future plan for this earth when there will be a sudden impact. I do not believe that the earth began with a big bang but I do believe the earth will end with a big bang. Here is where the Bible says that the heavens and the earth as we know it will end with a huge explosion. In fact an explosion so great that it will melt the very elements of the earth, air, fire, water, and earth will be melted by the power of Almighty God when the time comes for Him to replace this earth with a new earth...
The Richness of Salvation
by Marvin D. Patterson
Three pastors met privately to share their major weaknesses and to pray for one another. The first pastor confessed that he had a serious lust problem and many times found himself in compromising situations. The second pastor, encouraged by this display of candor, admitted that he had stolen money from the church and needed help in managing his finances. The third pastor then said, ''My weakness is gossip…and I can hardly wait to get out of here!'' After an exceptionally long and boring sermon the congregation filed out of the church not saying a word to the pastor. After a while a man shook the pastor's hand and said...
The Winner's Circle (1 of 7)
by Jeff Schreve
We are starting a series tonight on the book of 2nd Peter. It's a great little book written by Simon Peter, the apostle, right before he died. And tonight, as we begin this series called, ''Get Real: How to Live the Christian Life in the Last Days,'' an authentic Christian life, we want to look at this subject: ''The Winner's Circle.'' And one of my favorite teams in sports when I was a kid growing up was the UCLA Bruins. My brother went to UCLA. And when he was there, John Wooden was the basketball coach. John Wooden coached at UCLA for 27 years. John Wooden is a tremendous Christian, and he was a tremendous coach....
Let Us Be Reminded (1 of 7)
by Daniel Rodgers
INTRODUCTION: Last week, we concluded our study of I Peter. This evening, we will begin our study of II Peter. Before we do, let's note a few things:1. What makes our faith so precious? What is it about the Christian faith that makes it so valuable, so cherished-that people are even willing to die for it (as did many of the people to whom Peter wrote)? It is because we have had the righteousness of God imparted to us through our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul writes in 1 Cor. 1:30, But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. a. Man without God...
A Light in the Darkness
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: I have a quiz for you this morning. I'm going to give you 10 different quotes and then ask you if the phrase if from the Bible or not 1. ''To the victor go the spoils.'' (False-This was written by William Learned Marcy in his Life of Jackson.) 2. ''Can a leopard change his spots?'' (True-See Jeremiah 13:23.) 3. ''A heart of gold.'' (False-However, the concept is there in verses such as Proverbs 17:3 that speak of gold refining as a symbol of heart purity.) 4. ''The blind leading the blind.'' (True-See Luke 6:39.) 5. ''Money is the root of all evil.'' False-But this is another trick question. 1 Timothy 6:10 says, ''For the love of money is a...
Seven Traits of Excellence - These Things
by Donald Cantrell
In this passage we find Peter nearing the end of his journey and he is going to prompt his audience to grasp the importance of his teachings. He is going to give them some insightful teachings on how to live an excellent Christian life. Success is usually not something that just happens or is just stumbled upon. In football success can usually be attributed to those that make the less mistakes, namely in the fewest amount of turnovers, penalties, and interceptions. I like how Vince Lombardi defined success, ''Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect''. He also had this to say, '' In this passage Peter is going to define...
Where Is the Promise of His Coming?
by Rex Yancey
The Second Coming of Christ has been near and dear to the hearts of believers through the centuries. I don't have it all figured out as to how it is going to happen. I am on the Publicity committee and not the Time and Place committee. I have always enjoyed reading about, preaching on, and singing about the coming of Jesus. The Second Coming gives hope to weary souls in a wayward world. There are three views that have been held by scholars as to how the Lord is coming again. I have studied these views in seminary and in my own ministry. There is the Post Millennial view that suggests the world is going to get...
Rescue the Perishing
by Ernest Easley
It was in 1869 that blind Fanny Crosby was speaking to a group of men and God led her that night to ask if there were any boys in the crowd who had wandered away from God. And if so, to meet her on the platform after the service. An eighteen year old came forward and asked, ''Did you mean me? I promised my mother to meet her in heaven, but as I am now living that will be impossible.'' Miss Fanny prayed with him and he prayed and was saved. Afterwards, he said, ''Now, I can meet mother in heaven; for I have found her God.'' That night after the service, a line came to her that she couldn't get out of her mind: ''Rescue the perishing...
