S11 Episode 7: Steadfast - 2 Peter 1

In this session, Erin Warren teaches through 2 Peter 1, a favorite of hers and foundational to Feasting on Truth. Only a handful of years passed between these two letters, but the suffering the early Christians faced had increased exponentially. Because of that, many false prophets also arose, claiming Peter and the disciples made up the stories of Jesus and presenting a more favorable earthly gospel. Peter writes this letter to encourage believers to remain steadfast in truth. This first chapter focuses heavily on the foundation: we must know truth, and in Jesus, we have everything we need for life and godliness. Peter knew suffering, but Peter also knew Jesus. His letters are an encouragement to anyone facing hardships and trials and a reminder that we can be steadfast because our God is steadfast. And when we persevere, what awaits us in eternity is worth far more than anything this world has to offer.
