Rev. Jon Herr - August 18, 2024
2 Peter 3:1-10
Our minds are a collection of thoughts, feelings, and impulses that correspond in varying ways to the truth of the gospel. Peter identifies his purpose in this passage as "stirring up the sincere mind" of the believers he is addressing (3:1). This Sunday we will explore four ideas from our passage that stir our sincere minds in Christ. Those ideas include: remembering we are beloved people; responding to the prophets and commands of Christ; understanding the place of scoffers in the world and our relationship to them; and finally heeding the character of God as it relates to his relationship to time.
From Series: "Letters to Exiles: 1 & 2 Peter"
This spring, we begin a new sermon series through the letters of the Apostle Peter. 1st and 2nd Peter were written to Christians who were navigating their new identity as people of God while still living and working in the world.
