2 Peter: The Power of Remembering

What would life be without the ability to remember? It would be chaotic and largely meaningless. Memory allows individuals to draw upon past events to frame their understanding and behaviorin the present. What we remember also provides a framework for us to make sense of the present and future. Peter calls God’s people to remember the gospel of Jesus as itwas accomplished in history because such memory provides stability, understanding, wisdom and hope. None of us can afford to leave remembering up to chance – like when a friend says to you, “If you happen to remember…” We learn from the Scriptures that worship is what stirs ourcapacity to remember the vital things. The Psalmist proclaimed,“Bless the lord, o my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” Let’s listen to this message titled The Power of Remembering from 2 Peter 1:12-15.
