In the Letter of 2 Peter the apostle seeks to stir up his readers to remember their calling, the judgement that is coming, and that Jesus will indeed return in time. We explore this in the first message to kick of this Winter 2021 series.

The Love of Advent is that now all sinners are welcome to come and adore King Jesus, the One who broke down every barrier to embrace and rescue us. We see this today in the Christmas carol “O Come All Ye Faithful” and in Matthew 2:1-12.

The Peace of Advent is that while that first Christmas night may have been relatively silent, all eternity was being transformed for our good by the coming of God as a baby. We explore this in the classic Christmas carol “Silent Night” and in Luke 2:1-14.

Our final message of our Faith Survival Guide series looks at 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 to show us the vital practice of sharing our faith with others.

Regular Sabbath-rest observance in daily, weekly, annual, and long-term ways is vital not only for your physical body but also for your soul. And it is a reminder the true Sabbath rest awaits us in eternity. We explore this and the practical need for rest from Hebrews 4:1-11.

Justice-seeking for the Christian is an integral part of Jesus’ command to love our neighbor as ourselves. Biblical justice requires empathy, corporate responsibility, and advocacy. We explore this in Nehemiah 5:1-13 along with an article from Pastor Timothy Keller on Biblical Justice found here: https://quarterly.gospelinlife.com/a-biblical-critique-of-secular-justice-and-critical-theory.

Regular reading for growth for the follower of Jesus is a pursuit of wisdom that will lead to understanding the fear of the Lord, righteousness, justice and equity, and how to avoid evil. We explore this in Proverbs 2:1-15 together.
