Our Source of Truth

2 Peter 1:19-21

June 27, 2021 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • 2 Peter 1:19–21

Give

In this sermon from 1 Peter 1:19-21, we look at the nature of Scripture and the necessary response to Scripture. Scripture is trustworthy, verifiable, and more dependable than even our own experiences. Though written down by men, it is the very words of God. Therefore, our response as believers should be devotion to God’s Word, which will help us to grow in our knowledge and love for Jesus Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Are You Ready for the Return of Christ?

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

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.
