Are You Ready for the Return of Christ?

2 Peter 3:8-10

August 15, 2021 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • 2 Peter 3:8–10

Give

In 2 Peter 3:8-10, Peter writes to believers to strengthen them, to remind them of the truth of Jesus’ return, and to call them to live in light of that truth. As we await the return of our Lord, we are encouraged to trust in God’s timing, trust in his reasons, and to live in such a way that we are ready for his return.

What should our lives be focused on in light of the imminent return of Christ?

The Right Response to Christ's Return

August 22, 2021 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • 2 Peter 3:11–13

What would change in your life if you knew that Christ was going to return this week? In this sermon from 2 Peter 3:11-13, we look at Peter’s description of the sort of people we ought to be in light of Christ’s return—people whose lives are marked by holiness, godliness, and hope.

Stirring Up Truth

August 8, 2021 • Pastor Neal Hackbarth • 2 Peter 3:1–7

In 2 Peter 3:1-7, Peter warns of scoffers who will come, denying the return of Christ. He reminds the church that the prophets, apostles, and Jesus himself taught that he would come again. Peter points out the insincerity and sinful lifestyles of these scoffers, reminds us of scriptural history, and assures us of the certainty of Christ’s return. When the Lord comes back, will we be ready? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
