Sermons on 2 Peter:

"The Power Of Pentecost"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Mar 26, 2004

Certainly "Power comes through Prayer," but the purpose of this message is to convey what was so powerful about "Peter’s message" on the day of Pentecost. Why would three thousand souls repent and come to Christ?

A Prophet is Coming! Moses was old and the Children of Israel were concerned with who was going to replace him. The immediate answer would be Joshua. But Moses also mentioned that a "Prophet would arise from among them." He was speaking of Christ. (Deu 18:15) The LORD thy God will raise up ...read more

The Cowardly Denial

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 17, 2012

This study is about Peter’s denial of Christ. But it’s about more than that. This passage is a descriptive picture of cowardly denial—the cowardly denial of both the world and a close disciple of the Lord’s.

When you look at tonight’s title you probably are saying that tonight’s study is about Peter’s denial of Christ, and you’re right. But it’s about more than that. Tonight’s passage is a descriptive picture of cowardly denial—the cowardly denial of both the ...read more

The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 4:8-11 - Message 14 - Do Not Become Wallowing Sows In Bondage – Protect Your Freedom In Christ Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 1, 2024

The Galatians had exchanged the bondage of idolatry for the bondage of the Law. False teachers promise freedom but chain their adherents in bonds. Our freedom in Christ must be protected. Do not use your freedom as an excuse to sin.

The Way Of The Cross

Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024

In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

Who Is This Guy, Anyway?

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Jun 8, 2003

A different twist on the scripture where Peter declares that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Who did His Workers, the world and the word say He was? Who do WE say He was?

INTRO In this scripture read this morning, Jesus asks a very pointed question: “Who am I?” It is a question that sounds like he has an identity complex. But the same question was asked about him at least 7 times in the Gospels. The question that we want to explore today is this: Who do we say ...read more

The Bible, Is It Just Another Book Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 30, 2019

Powerful Prepositions

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on May 11, 2024

How things start out can often determine if they are victorious in the end. Our final outcomes are judged not in the light of today, but in the light of eternity. Romans 11:36 shows us a three-pronged test to get us started out right and to help us see it through to the end.

According to Merriam-Webster, a preposition at its most basic form shows direction. Romans 11:36 is packed full of three powerful prepositions. Not because the words themselves hold power, but because they are providing direction to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. It says, “For from him ...read more
