Studies

Fellowship with God Through Confidence in Christ,

A study of the text of 1, 2 & 3 John, supported by the whole of Scripture, and its application to believers today. We will search out the doctrines taught in these epistles and the covenant connections which tie them to all of the Bible.

*Wednesday mornings and Wednesday evenings at CPC*
 

The Pastoral Letters: Doctrine, Duty, and Life in the Local Church,
led by Kathy Horan

A study on the Pastoral Epistles of Paul (Timothy 1&2 and Titus), with an emphasis on the covenantal community in the local church.

This is the final week of our study, and Peter finishes his epistle with strength and conviction. Urging his readers to remain steadfast in their faith and in the truth of God’s Word, based on what God has done for us in Christ, he begins this final section with a “therefore.” This reminds us to look back and consider the context of what he has already written to understand what he is writing here at the end.

This week, with the context of Peter’s warnings against the false teachers fresh in our minds, we turn to his encouragement to believers. The broader context of this epistle as we have read thus far has included the certainty of the return of our Lord and the day of judgement, the trustworthiness of the Scriptures, the ultimate punishment of evildoers and the rescue of the godly. Peter now turns to the specifics of the scoffers’ denial of the return of Jesus and encourages his readers to be strengthened in their faith by remembering the prophecies and history of the Scriptures.

Standing in the True Grace of God, Lesson 22

In this week’s passage (actually, last week’s, as I was late getting this finished) Peter calls out false teachers and strips away their masks and pretenses to reveal the sordid truth behind their lies. This passage is not only difficult to read, it is necessary. For the same reasons parents everywhere warn their children to stay away from strangers, Peter is warning Christians to avoid false teachers in the church. At the end of his first epistle Peter wrote, “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). The false teachers are on mission from our prowling adversary, attempting to lure the Lord’s sheep away from the safety of the truth, and Peter, appointed to shepherd God’s flock, is warning the sheep to be wary. It’s a warning we must heed even still. Continue reading “Standing in the True Grace of God, Lesson 22”
