STIRRED, NOT SHAKEN

2 THESS. 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

2 PETER 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. BE MINDFUL [2 PETER 3:1-7]

1. Be Mindful of the Word [v. 1-2; 1:3-4, 12, 19-21]

2. Be Mindful of the Wicked [v. 3-5a; 2:1-3]

II. BE INFORMED [2 PETER 3:8-10]

1. Time Means Little to God [v. 8, Ps.90:4]

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

2. Truth Means Much to God [v. 9a, Isaiah 46:10]

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

3. Temporal Things Mean Little to God [v. 9b-10]

 

III. BE FOCUSED [2 PETER 3:11-18]

1. On Living Right [v. 11; 1:4-7]

2. On Looking Right [v. 12-14]

3. On Learning Right [v. 15-18; 1:8-9]
