Maranatha Lilburn episodes

  • 6) Rescue and Righteousness (2 Peter 2:4-10a)
    The 6th sermon in the series, 2 Peter: Sharing in God's Life
    Peter takes us back to Genesis to show us three examples of God's justice on evil, two examples of God's mercy on sinners, and points us to the one example where God's justice and mercy meet: in the crucifixion of Jesus. All of this reminds us to be wary of false teachers and to be willing to trust only in the righteousness of Christ.

  • 5) Bad News for False Teachers (2 Peter 2:1-3)
    The 5th sermon in the series, 2 Peter: Sharing in God's Life
    Peter exposes the false teachers of the Early Church as no different than the false prophets of the Old Testament: those who bring condemnation and destruction on themselves. And so he warns us to look out for clever and charming speakers who deceive, specifically by how they divide the church, deny the Christ, and are depraved in their ways.

  • 4) The Prophecy of the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:16-21)
    The 4th sermon in the series, 2 Peter: Sharing in God's Life
    Peter and the other apostles are facing criticism and accusations at the end of their lives. It's coming from people who call themselves Christians, but consider the resurrection and return of Jesus to be absurd, mythological ideas. Peter responds as an eyewitness of the real Jesus and calls us to heed the witness of the prophets and apostles, both inspired by the Holy Spirit.

  • 3) A Faithful Will and Testament (2 Peter 1:12-15)
    The 3rd sermon in the series, 2 Peter: Sharing in God's Life
    One of the most powerful acts of Christ worship and witness is simply to remember--to remember who God is and what he's done for us in Christ. And so, Peter tells us to remember the Gospel and the Lord's commands three times in this passage as he nears the end of his life, hoping to give us hope in our lives, too.

  • 2) The Goodness of Growth (2 Peter 1:3-11)
    The 2nd sermon in the series, 2 Peter: Sharing in God's Life.
    Peter wants us to be rooted in faith in God's divine power and the hope of God's divine nature. And from these roots, he pleads with us to "supplement our faith" with 7 things: goodness, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. He warns that not growing in these qualities is to risk being spiritually useless and forgetful of our salvation.

  • 1) The Apocalypse of Peter (2 Peter 1:1-2)
    The 1st sermon in the series, 2 Peter: Sharing in God's Life.
    Peter's last address has shifted from pastoral to polemical; from comforting to confrontational. What does Peter hope to communicate to the scattered and tired Christians of the world, and what does it mean that he is speaking "apocalyptically"?
