Sermon, December 12, 2010 - The Promise of His Coming
2 Peter 3.1-13
The Lord is not slow about His promise…
A. PETER’S REMINDER
1. There’s nothing new here in this letter
2. There’s nothing new here that’s not in the Bible
a. Prophets
b. Apostles
c. Jesus Christ
3. Review what you already know
B. PETER’S REMINDER
THAT SOME WILL DENY THE COMING OF CHRIST
1. The motive for their denial: to satisfy their evil desires
2. The manner of their denial: ridicule
3. The mistake in the reasoning behind their denial:
God doesn’t interact with this world
C. PETER’S REMINDER
THAT WE ARE TO THINK AND LIVE DIFFERENTLY
Remember God’s perspective on…
1. Time [8]
2. The lost [9]
3. This world [10]
4. Your faithfulness [11-12]
5. Our true home [13]
