God protects His promise, and as children of His promise, God fiercely protects us. This past Sunday we heard from Pastor Aaron Bennett as he continued in our series, Resilient: Following Jesus in a World That’s Falling Apart. We unpacked chapter 2 of 2 Peter and learned just how deadly bad ideas can be. God will do whatever it takes to protect His promises, and because of the assurance of His rescue, we can be resilient with hopeful expectation.

The Hidden Danger of Bad Ideas.

God fiercely protects His promise.

Bad ideas about little things can be disappointing.

Bad ideas about big things can be deadly.

Who influences you?

If you want a great life, you have to be honest about the threats you’re facing.

Either Jesus starts changing you, or you will start trying to change Jesus.

Jesus doesn’t ignore sin.

Jesus died to forgive sin.

Jesus calls us to a new life, free from sin.

The Gospel is God’s great promise.

God saves His most ferocious anger for those who twist His promises so they can profit off of bad ideas.

“They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.”

2 Peter 2:19

1. In a world full of lies, teach yourself to crave God’s truth.

2. Walk in the truth and expose the lies.

3. Find practical ways to enjoy the freedom of knowing Jesus.
