About this sermon

What if the most important thing a pastor could teach you was how to no longer depend on him? Peter knew he wouldn’t be around much longer. So he wanted to make sure the believers he loved could keep following Jesus without him. In this teaching from 2 Peter 1, Francis reminds us why we need to know God’s Word for ourselves. There will always be new voices, opinions, and ideas competing for our attention. But God has given us something sure. Our prayer is that we become people who love His Word, seek the truth even when it confronts us, and have the humility to obey what He says. This message was originally shared on November 29, 2009 at Cornerstone Church.
