August 9, 2026 Confirming Your Election and Calling | 2 Peter 1

Today, we will begin a short summer series based on 2 Peter. We will begin by reflecting on 2 Peter 1, Confirming Your Election and Calling. 2 Peter is not just about Peter’s time; it’s also for us today in that Peter teaches us how to think about God, ourselves, sin, obedience, worship, suffering, community, and hope. His letter invites us to come close to him to understand Jesus and to respond to him. It’s a letter written to warn people about false teachers, but also to stir us out of spiritual laziness. Peter reminds us that God is working with real people in real places; his letter’s not about throwing ideas about who Jesus is out to the people; it points us to Jesus who acts, speaks, judges, saves, and guides his people.
