2 Peter 1:1-21

This sermon reflects on 2 Peter 1:1–21, exploring the apostle Peter’s “flashbacks” as he nears death and recalls moments that confirmed Jesus’ identity and strengthened his faith. Peter remembers Christ’s promised Spirit, the true vine, the prophecy of his own death, and the divine confirmation of Jesus at both His baptism and the transfiguration. These memories were meant to strengthen the churches of Asia Minor, urging them to grow in virtue, hold fast to Scripture, and remain steadfast even after his departure. The lesson encourages believers today to rely on the same confirmed prophetic word as a guiding light in dark times.
