Manhattan Project scientist Richard Feynman said that anyone is qualified to judge the scientific evidence - but "we must listen to all the evidence." A refusal to "listen to all the evidence" has brought error to courts, to journalism, and even to the church. As Peter was penning his final words, he saw that Christians would be tempted to lose heart when the Bridegroom was delayed a long time. So he reminded us of that piece of physical, scientific evidence that many pretend not to see. Jim is in 2 Peter, chapter 3 today to open his sermon, Tips To Insiders.

God hates false teaching - and false teachers! Some people say we shouldn't get hung up on doctrine; let's concentrate on loving people and living out the gospel. But Peter might answer, "Which gospel?" Our beliefs matter because they're the source of our actions. In the passage we'll study today the Apostle draws a composite sketch of the most vile of all sinners: those who convince others that sin isn't sin. Here's Jim to warn us, Don't Be Had.

Orange barrel season is in full bloom in Ohio. And that's...good? No traveler likes to see the dreaded traffic cones, the barrels, the signs of construction. They restrict us. They slow us down. But maybe we don't like them because we haven't thought about what driving would be like without them. Jim may not convince you to love highway maintenance today, but he'll share a potent metaphor about warning signs, and the people who would remove them. We continue through 2 Peter with a message called The Blessing of the Barrels.

When Peter knew he was about to die, he wrote down some final instructions. At the end, the Apostle wasn't thinking about how to divide his worldly goods - if he had any. He was concerned about the coming attacks on the flock of God, and how to prepare believers to weather the storm. Right to the end he was obeying that bittersweet command of Jesus: "Feed my sheep." Jim preached this sermon on a Father's Day, but we think just about any believer will get something out of it. Here's the opening of his message, called Dads and Doubts.

"Promises, promises." Human promises are pretty much worthless - they're "made to be broken," we say, from bitter experience. But the value of the promise depends on the character of the promise maker! The Apostle Peter urges us to stake everything on the promises of God! These "precious and magnificent" promises are the key to our escape. What do we have to escape from? From ourselves; from our own corrupt nature. Today Pastor Jim will open a sermon in 2 Peter called Doing What Comes Naturally.
