Warning Against Destructive Doctrine

2 Peter 2:17-22

August 1, 2021 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • 2 Peter 2:17–22

Give

In 2 Peter 2:17-22, Peter continues to warn the church about false teachers, focusing on their destructive doctrine which is empty, enslaving, and eternally destructive. To avoid being led astray we must study and know God’s Word, comparing all teaching to the truth of Scripture, which is full and life-giving, leads to freedom, and offers the hope of eternal life. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Keep Growing in Grace

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

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.

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.
