As Peter neared the end of his life, he wrote this second letter to remind the church of what was true and prepare them to remain faithful in the days ahead. The threat they faced was no longer primarily persecution from outside the church, but false teaching and deception from within.

Peter points them back to the certainty of God’s promises. God has given His people everything they need for life and godliness, and Peter urges believers to build their lives on those promises—living faithfully as they await the return of Jesus and the new heavens and new earth He has promised.

As we walk through 2 Peter together, we’ll consider what it looks like to live with confidence in God’s promises, remain faithful in a world filled with competing voices, and continue becoming the people God has called us to be.

We look forward to studying this important letter together.

    COMMUNITY GROUP QUESTIONS

    1. Read 2 Peter 1:12–21. Peter is talking about remaining confident in the waiting. When has waiting for something been especially difficult for you? What made it hard?

    2. Do you often think about the fact that Christ will Return? Why or why not?

    3. Peter offers us two trustworthy witnesses to supply our confidence as we wait for Christ’s Return: (1) The Apostle's eye-witness, and (2) the Word of God. How might you more intentionally turn to God’s Word this week as you wait on him?
