We pushed deeper into Peter’s excursus on false teachers in 2 Peter 2:10b-17. We switched things up a bit this week and did a combo sermon with a follow-up Q&A. Give it a listen.

Peter enters into a harder topic for us. But understanding and refuting false teachers is as equally important in our modern context as it was in the 1st Century.

As Spurgeon aptly observed, “the most important daily habit we can possess is to remind ourselves of the Gospel.” And this is the work of the trustworthy and Spirit-inspired Word of God.

Because of our new birth and the precious promises and the divine power offered us in Christ we cannot sit back and rest content with ‘faith.’ Our discipleship takes work.

Many of our struggles lie not in a lack of doctrine but in a failure to believe the essence of the gospel that beckons us to replace inferior joys in inferior objects with superior joys in God himself.

As we continue to grow as a church, we remain joyfully committed to being a family where all have a role. In that vein, we have some amazing things coming up this month. Check it out.

Lent is first and foremost about the gospel making its way deeper into our lives. Lent is a season of preparation and repentance during which we anticipate the death and resurrection of Jesus.

To call Christ Lord and proclaim God to be King is to be humbled under God’s mighty display of eternal power rather than to cower before the pale might of any earthly ruler.

If we are going to get safely through the ‘fiery ordeal’ (cf. 1 Peter 4:12-19), we need to have gospel-centered elders who lead like Jesus and gospel-centered church members who submit to them.
