Sermon Notes

The world of confusion that we are to “Live Ready” in is not just a world of confusion “out there.” 2 Peter 2:1-22 is a sobering chapter that confronts the reality of false teachers and prophets and the danger of distorted truth. Peter calls the church to discernment, integrity, and a faith that is rooted in what is true. Join us as we consider how to recognize what’s counterfeit and remain anchored in the gospel in a world full of competing voices.

Truth You Can Trust

Sermon Notes

If we want to live ready, we need something sure beneath our feet. The world is full of competing voices, shifting opinions, and spiritual confusion. Where can we find something solid to stand on? Peter reminds us that our faith is not built on myth or speculation, but God’s revelation of himself in Christ and his trustworthy Scriptures. God gives us truth we can count on — truth that steadies us, guides us, and keeps us from drifting. Join us for “Truth You Can Trust” from 2 Peter 1:12-21.

Grace that Grounds and Grows Us
April 12, 2026Pastor:Jeff Schultz

Sermon Notes

I’m excited to start a journey together through 2 Peter! It’s a short letter that’s not as well-known as others, but its message is relevant to us and our times. In a confusing, unstable world of deception and moral compromise, Peter urges believers to stand firm in the gospel, grow in godliness, and hold fast to the truth of God’s Word while we anticipate Christ’s return. Peter’s tone can feel intense. But his passion comes from the conviction that God loves this world and is determined to redeem it through Jesus. I hope and believe we will all be challenged and encouraged!
