Remember To Grow: Remember To Be Faithful (Lesson 4)

Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - 2 Peter 3 (2 Peter 1:1; 3:1-18; 1 Peter 2:1-3; 4:12-16; ; Psalm 119:129-131; John 1:1-3; 3:16-17; 15:17-20; 17:17; Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 1:1-3; Isaiah 45:20-22; Revelation 21:1-7; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18; Matthew 6:19-21; Acts 11:19-23)

 

In this final lesson of our study in 2 Peter, we will be challenged to remain faithful to Jesus! By learning to take the truth with us as we live our lives, we will get a better understanding of what obedience actually means and what it looks like in the face of opposition. We will also think about how our view of God impacts our faith and obedience, and we will be confronted with a God that is high, holy, and that demands our worship! Ultimately, we will be called to a life of following Jesus—one that reflects His character, rests in His completed work, and is marked by consistent growth, all for the glory of God and the advancement of the Gospel.

Series description:

How can we grow spiritually and make progress in our Christian lives?

In this study of the book of 2 Peter, we will learn that spiritual growth and formation does not happen because we get some new revelation from God, or because we discover a hidden secret that unlocks the blessed life. Spiritual growth and formation happens when we remember the truth that has already been revealed to us, and respond to it with faithfulness and obedience. We do not need something new, but instead we need to renew our commitment to the way of Jesus!

We need to remember so that we can grow!
