    Harold Camping has many people wondering if Jesus will come back today. Only the Father knows the time of Christ’s return. We can however, live in a constant stauts of preparation, and in this area, the Bible DOES say so!

    Sermon Notes May 21, 2011 FBCam How To Be Ready for Christ’s Return 2 Peter 3:14-18 Today, we learned something that we knew as soon as Harold Camping’s prediction was made.

    Be ready! It's a repeated theme in Scripture. But what should I do to get ready for heaven?

    (I opened by singing 2 verses of an old hymn "There's A Great Day Coming") “There’s a great day coming, a great day coming. There’s a great day coming by and by. When the saints and the sinners will be parted right and left, Are you ready for that day to come?” CHORUS: Are you ready? ...read more

    TIME FOR TRUE REPENTANCE. 2 Peter 3. After the description of the false teachers who deny the second coming of Jesus - which is concluded with the horrible picture of 2 Peter 2:22 - Peter turns to his protégés and effectively says, “I am assured of better things concerning you” (cf. ...read more

    The Lord’s Patience Is Only Giving Us Extra Time To Be Saved

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 17, 2021
     | 1,899 views

    This is an exposition of 2 Peter 3 as we learn not to become swayed by scoffers who cast doubts in our minds about the return of Jesus Christ. Jesus is coming as He promised; what seems like a delay is only a chance for us to repent. In the mean time, we should live godly as we await His return.

    1. In the last days, there will be scoffers (v. 3) 2. The scoffers will be following their own evil (sinful) desires (v. 3) 3. They will mock the promise of the coming of Jesus Christ saying “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything ...read more
