2 Peter 3 (Part 1): Wholesome Thinking, Scoffers, & The Second Coming

1 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. 3 Above all, you must understand that in…

The Power Of The Resurrection

10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. (Romans 6:10) 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith (1 Corinthians 15:14) 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us…

Advent: Christ Brings God’s Love Into The World

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This…

Easter: The Spirit of God That Raised Christ Lives In Me

1 Why do the nations conspire     and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth rise up     and the rulers band together     against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, 3 “Let us break their chains     and throw off their shackles.” 4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;     the Lord scoffs at them. 5 He rebukes them in his anger     and terrifies them…

Why Did Jesus Come?

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). (Matthew 1:23) 9 This is how God…
