In this episode of Kingdom Now, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 25:1-30, where Jesus, days before the cross, tells his disciples how to live while they wait for his return. Karl opens with a personal story about the excitement of waiting on a renovation, and how it exposed how little joyful anticipation he had for Christ's return. Building on Jesus' warning in Matthew 24 that no one knows the day or the hour, he gives two reasons to live with joyful anticipation: it motivates holy living, and it recalibrates how we see our lives and the world around us. He then explores the Parable of the Ten Virgins, explaining the stages of a Jewish wedding and how they picture Christ's return, and teaching that it's possible to look ready without actually being ready. Next, through the Parable of the Talents, Karl offers five practical observations about stewardship before making the deeper point that the most precious thing entrusted to us is the gospel itself. He closes with a challenge to be ready rather than just look ready, starting with repentance and putting sin to death. Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

“Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, ‘What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.’” (2 Peter 3:3–4 NLT) No mini-set of devotions about facing the future would be complete without a discussion of the Lord’s return. Nothing looms larger in the future of believers than Jesus’ coming. It also looms large for many unbelievers, although for different reasons. In the contentious arena of social media, many opponents of Christianity point to Christ’s return, or the lack of one so far, to suggest that the Bible can’t be trusted. They conclude that if He hasn’t come back in over two thousand years, He’s not going to. In doing so, they completely miss the mercy and patience that lie at the heart of His delay. The apostle Peter wrote, “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent” (2 Peter 3:9 NLT). But you don’t have to deny or even question the truth of Christ’s return to miss the point of it. Many believers acknowledge that Christ will come back someday but refuse to allow His impending return to influence their daily actions and decisions. So, instead of preparing for His return and making sure their lives align with His will, they choose to do things that are wrong. They know what the Bible says but choose to ignore it. They play around with sin. They try to have their cake and eat it, too, by living as they please in the present, reasoning that they can repent in the future. But that’s a dangerous game. Not only are they missing the immediate blessings of obedience and discipleship, but they also have no way of knowing when Christ will return. What we do know is this: The Lord’s coming draws closer every day. Paul wrote, “The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living” (Romans 13:12 NLT). It’s time for us to wake up. One thing that always amazes me when I get up really early in the morning is that it’s pitch-dark outside. Sometimes I have to double-check the clock. I think to myself, “It can’t be 5:30; it’s got to be 1:30. It’s so dark.” But sure enough, every morning the sun slowly begins to rise. What was only darkness a few moments earlier begins to lighten up. And the next thing you know, the sun is out and everything’s lit up. This is how our world is right now. It’s dark. And it’s been dark for a long time. We start to think that it will always be this way. But it won’t. The darkness will not last forever. Christ is going to come back again. Be ready for His return.

Those who trust in Christ know that a day is coming when the Lord will return to judge the living and the dead. But from Peter's up until today and even further into the future as the Lord tarries, there will be scoffers who say, “Where is his coming that he promised?” The Lord has power to do as he pleases and is not confined to the constraints of time as men are, therefore one day is like 1,000 years and 1,000 years is like a day. As we wait for the day of the Lord, we are to be holy in our conduct, serving the Lord faithfully. Finally, of note, Peter clearly references the writings of Paul as divinely inspired as he says that there are some matters that are hard to understand in them which will be twisted by evil men, just like they twist the rest of Scripture. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

The eighth sermon in our series 'Finding the Gospel in the Old Testament'.Sermon: 'Jonah's Gracious God'Series: 'Finding the Gospel in the Old Testament'Readings: 2 Peter 3:1-13 & Jonah 4Preacher: Brad FletcherRecorded 20th September, 2026S22 E8

Today, we will wrap up our series on 2 Peter by reflecting on 2 Peter 3, The Day of the Lord. In chapter 3, Peter moves into talking about the Day of the Lord, or what we see as the return of Jesus when he will come to reclaim all creation again under his rule of the kingdom of heaven. This day will come unexpectedly, and all that is evil and against the kingdom of heaven will face judgment. Peter warns us to be on our guard and to continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus.

1 Kings 13; 20 Proverbs 13; 2 Peter 3; 1 John 1

Have you ever wondered why God seems to wait? In 2 Peter 3:9, we discover a powerful truth about God's heart. His delay is not weakness or forgetfulness. It is compassion. God desires that everyone come to repentance and experience His saving grace. Join us as we explore the depth of God's love, patience, and desire for every person to know Him. -Do you want to be an active member of 21c Moses? Then, consider becoming a 21c Moses Patreon!

Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0239A recorded on October 26, 1980 teaching from 2 Peter 3:18 – It’s Time to Grow Up! Pastor Cyril A. Stevens argues that spiritual life necessitates a transition from the infancy of milk to the maturity of meat through an active pursuit of godliness. He structures his message around the vital requirements for…

What would it take to become a truly great thinker—not by the world's standards, but by God's? In 2 Peter 3, the apostle writes with deep affection to stir something in you—a way of thinking that will protect you from being deceived and draw you into deeper and deeper closeness with God. This sermon on 2 Peter 3:1–3 explores what it means to develop a mind governed by Scripture rather than by the desires of the flesh. Peter calls believers to "pure thinking"—not merely thinking about pure subjects, but learning to think, reason, evaluate, and make decisions according to God's truth. The world often measures thinking by IQ, education, creativity, logic, knowledge, or the ability to solve complex problems. But God's definition of great thinking is different. According to Peter, the greatest thinkers are those whose minds are directed by the Word of God. Your thoughts are constantly moving from one idea to another. The crucial question is: **What is steering the progression of your thoughts?** Are your thoughts being directed by Scripture and the will of God, or are they being driven by your desires? In this message, we examine the difference between flesh-driven thinking and Scripture-driven thinking, and we consider how our desires can influence the conclusions we are willing to accept. Peter warns that false teachers and scoffers follow their own evil desires, eventually using their desires to reject the truth of Christ's return, final judgment, and the authority of God's Word. ## In This Sermon - What Peter means by "pure thinking" in 2 Peter 3:1. - The meaning and importance of the Greek word *dianoia*, referring to the mind, understanding, or way of thinking.

2 Peter 3:14-18 - Jorgen/Larry “The proper perspective is to regard anything that looks to us like ‘delay' as an indication not that we have to be patient with God, but that God is having to be patient with us….God's patience is our opportunity” NT Wright “You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” - Anne Lamott -  Luke 6:43-45 The Greeks learned in order to comprehend. The Hebrews learned in order to revere. The modern man learns in order to use... Abraham Joshua Heschel “Grace is God acting in our life to do what we cannot do on our own. Grace is what we live by and the human system won't work without it. The saint uses grace like a 747 jet burns gas on takeoff!” - Dallas Willard

Notes - Quotes 2 Peter 3:8-13 - Faith 2 Peter 3:8-13  - The Lord's Delay Psalm 90:4  “God views the passing of time from a different perspective than we do. We are impatient, getting disturbed and upset by even a short delay; God is patient, willing to let centuries and even millennia go by as he works out his purposes. Peter is not telling his readers that they are wrong to believe that Christ's return is “imminent.” What he is telling them is that they are wrong to be impatient when it does not come as quickly as they might like or hope.” - Doug Moo “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it.” - Gandalf “Lest anyone should think that sinners can therefore presume on God's forbearance, taking advantage of the delay by not repenting, the author immediately stresses that God will not defer his judgment indefinitely. The day of judgment will come upon sinners with the unexpectedness of a burglar breaking in while the householder sleeps. The apocalyptic imagery which follows depicts not simply the dissolution of the cosmos but, more importantly, the eschatological coming of the divine Judge. When the wrathful voice of God thunders out of heaven and the fire of his judgment sets the sky ablaze, the firmament and the heavenly bodies will be destroyed, and the earth, the scene of human wickedness, will be exposed to his wrath. Then it will be impossible for the wicked to hide from God's judicial scrutiny. They and their evil deeds will be discovered by him and condemned.” Richard Bauckham “The mission of Jesus brought not a new teaching but a new event. It brought to people an actual foretaste of the eschatological salvation. Jesus did not promise the forgiveness of sins; he bestowed it. He did not simple assure people of the future fellowship of the Kingdom; he invited them into fellowship with himself as the bearer of the Kingdom. He did not merely promise them vindication in the day of judgment; he bestowed upon them the status of a present righteousness. He not only taught an eschatological deliverance from physical evil; he went about demonstrating the redeeming power of the Kingdom, delivering people from sickness and even death.” - George Eldon Ladd Ps:90:12-17

Listen along as we continue through 2 Peter. Notes//Quotes: 2 Peter 3:1-7 - Larry/Jorgen Title: The Lord's Day “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”  (Micah 6:8) “When you are arguing against Him you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.”      - C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity “And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and storm and hailstones.”  (Isa. 30:30) Who can stand before his indignation?
 Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire,
 and the rocks are broken into pieces by him. (Nahun 1:6) Neither their silver nor their gold
    shall be able to deliver them
    on the day of the wrath of the Lord.
In the fire of his jealousy,
    all the earth shall be consumed;
for a full and sudden end
    he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth. (Zephaniah 1:18)  

Message Take Aways:1. The Second Coming of Christ is not delayed due to a slackness on God's part in fulfilling His word, but rather a demonstration of His patient longsuffering—“For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord GOD. “Therefore turn and live!” Ezekiel 18:322. The Day of the Lord will come suddenly upon an unrighteous world eventually ushering in the new heavens and a new earth as promised in God's word—“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” Matthew 24:423. Knowing the promises of God, the believer is to walk in steadfastness by knowing the word and continually growing in the Lord—“You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.” James 5:8

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this July 29th episode, Hunter walks with you through Day 210 of our journey in the Scriptures. Today's readings include Isaiah 57–59, Psalm 103, and 2 Peter 3, focusing on themes of repentance, God's mercy, and the hopeful promise of new life. We'll reflect on the powerful call to "soul talk"—reminding ourselves daily of God's goodness—and join together in prayerful gratitude. Whether you're a longtime listener or joining for the first time, settle in as we open our hearts and minds to the transforming truth found in God's Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Give your soul a good talk. Every day, our souls need reminding. In Psalm 103, the psalmist says, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name." Then he runs down a list, as if checking off reminders to his own heart: remember, soul, what He has done for you. Remember, He heals, forgives, redeems, crowns you with love, satisfies you, renews your strength, vindicates the oppressed, and makes His ways known. When you speak to your soul like this, something happens—your gaze shifts. The focus moves off yourself and onto Him, off your failures or successes, and back to what God has done and who He is. This is what gospel talk is: speaking the good news, the truth of God's mercy, grace, and love, right into the roots of your life. Every day, we need this soul talk. We need to rehearse the gospel, to remind ourselves, to speak these truths not only to our own hearts but over each other—over our families, our friends, our churches, our coworkers. Turn your discouragement, your fear, your shame into opportunity for gospel talk: list out the ways God has shown you mercy and grace. Write them down. Reread Psalm 103. Make it your habit, letting the good news work its way deep in you. This is a prayer I have for my own soul. It's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son—and it's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

After more than a year and forty-one sermons, Pastor Jim Osman closes out the book of 2 Peter with the two exhortations that summarize everything Peter wanted his readers to hear.In this final message on 2 Peter 3:17-18, Osman shows that if believers are to remain stable in the gospel, they must diligently heed two closing commands. Guard against error. Grow in truth. Osman opens with a sobering, real-world example of how easily false teaching slips into a church under the banner of spiritual formation, a reminder that Peter's warnings are just as urgent now as in the first century.Osman then works through both commands. To guard means standing watch the way a shepherd watches his flock, alert to wolves who would carry believers away from their steadfastness. To grow means pursuing the grace and knowledge of Christ as an ongoing responsibility, not a plateau reached and left behind. False teachers cannot take away a believer's salvation, Osman notes, but they can rob believers of fruitfulness, stability, and reward.This final sermon brings the epistle full circle, back to Peter's promise that believers already have everything they need for life and godliness, and closes the series with a clear charge: guard, and grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ. ★ Support this podcast ★

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading brings us back to 2 Peter 3, where Peter reminds us that the Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise. What looks like delay to us is mercy from God. He is not late, confused, or trying to figure out what comes next; He is patient, holding open the door of repentance.2 Peter 3 reminds us that every sunrise, every sermon, every open Bible, and every breath is another mercy-filled invitation to turn to Christ. God's patience is not approval of sin—it is space for repentance. So today, read 2 Peter 3 and let the patience of God overwhelm you: He is not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading takes us to 2 Peter 3, where Peter reminds the church that Jesus is coming back and that His delay is not absence—it is mercy. Scoffers may mock, false teachers may twist the truth, and the world may continue as if nothing will ever change, but Peter calls believers to remember the Word, trust the promise, and live holy lives while we wait.2 Peter 3 reminds us that everything temporary will one day be dissolved, but righteousness will dwell forever with God's people. Prophecy is not given to satisfy curiosity; it is given to produce holiness. So today, read 2 Peter 3 and live like Jesus could return today—because one day, He will.

Has heaven and earth already passed away?Some interpret Matthew 5:18 to mean the destruction of the temple in 70 AD fulfilled Yeshua's words and brought the Torah to an end. This teaching examines that claim by comparing Matthew 5 with Peter's and John's descriptions of the passing away of heaven and earth.ScripturesMatthew 5:17–19 2 Peter 3:7–13 Revelation 21:1–4 Matthew 28:18–20 Deuteronomy 30:1–5TakeawayScripture consistently places the passing away of heaven and earth in the future. Since heaven and earth remain, so does God's Torah.
