SUNDAY MORNING (March 31st) • 2 Peter 3:1-18 I Jude 17-25The Day of the Lord is ComingIn what way are "sincere minds" stirred up "by way of reminder " through the reading of inspired New Testament letters (2 Pet 3:1)?Why is it absolutely vital for Christians to "remember the predictions of the holy prophets" (2 Pet 3:2-4) and "the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ" Jude 17)?In your own words, what is a "scoffer" (2 Pet 3:3;Jude 18)?Using 2 Peter 3:1-18 and Jude 17-25, how would you summarize what those who "scoff' at the second coming of Jesus "deliberately overlook"? Why do they do so?Why is 2 Peter 3:9 such profoundly good news?If you were going to explain 2 Peter 3:11-13 to someone else, how would you go about it?Is there anything we can learn from Peter's reference to the writings of Paul (2 Pet 3:15-16)?Practically speaking, what does it mean to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Pet 3:18) and "build [ourselves] up in [our] most holy faith" Jude 20)?Why should we never overlook or forget the admonition contained in Jude 22-23?Jude describes God as "him who is able to keep you from stumbling" Jude 24). In everyday terms,how does he accomplish this?
