On Wednesday night, January 2nd, we will resume our study of II Peter by picking up at 1:12. The first 11 verses of Peter’s second letter have been a call to recognize that everything we need, the multiplication of grace and peace, the power for holy living, the strength to stand and the promise to never stumble are all found in intimate, continual, and correct knowledge of Jesus. The more we know Christ, the more His character shapes ours into His likeness. In this week’s passage, Peter addresses one of my favorite topics, our need for and God’s willingness to give us reminders of the truth. Peter, much like the apostle Paul in the book of Philippians, makes it clear, that reminding the church of what He has already taught them is not a hardship, but rather it’s his calling, it’s his desire but even more it’s his joy. We are a forgetful people, but God is not frustrated or disappointed in our forgetfulness, rather, He is a Father that loves to remind His children of that which is true. He remembers that we are but dust and so He kindly and joyfully reminds us of the truth that is too important to forget.
Join us this week at 7:00 PM as we discuss the Scripture’s role in bridging the gap between our forgetfulness and God’s faithfulness. Our Bible study is held at the Kulynych’s home, 945 Bordentown Rd. in Burlington. We apologize but there is no childcare provided for this gathering.
