On the Corner of Justice and Mercy
2 Peter 2
Sunday Live - 10/05/25
Pastor Brad Bell

WE DEMAND JUSTICE!!!!…and WE PLEAD FOR MERCY!!!!

In a courtroom, justice is expected and demanded… In our personal lives, mercy is begged for and desired!

Justice and mercy are concepts often viewed in opposition with each other, but in fact, they are intertwined. Where does God stand on justice?…mercy? How do we know?

More importantly, what does that mean for the world we live in, and for us individually?

When you know where God stands on justice and mercy, it will change your life!
Be encouraged, motivated, and moved by the word of God tomorrow!

Counterfeit
2 Peter 2
Sunday Live - 09/28/25
Pastor Brad Bell

IT'S A FAKE!!!!…we go to great lengths in our society to determine if something is real or fake…$100 bills, Rolex watches, etc. Why?…Because we do not like to be fooled!

Did you know we are commanded in scripture to give the same scrutiny to false teachers and false teaching!

Being fooled on your watch or $100 dollar bill is temporarily heart breaking…being fooled on the Word of God is eternally destructive!

Jesus called false teachers “wolves in sheep’s clothing”…that means they will be extremely deceitful and hard to recognize because on the outside…they look harmless!

How do we recognize them? How do we call out false teaching?…should we call out false teaching?

What is at stake if we do not recognize it and expose it? We live in a tech age where false teaching is rampant and false teachers can have their messages spread like wild fires, deceiving the masses. Many run to online teaching as their pastors refuse to preach on certain topics…so how do we change this?

There is one prerequisite!!!…YOU MUST KNOW THE WORD OF GOD TO RECOGNIZE FALSE TEACHING!…and pastors must preach the full counsel of God’s word!

That means who you go to in learning the Bible means everything!…it can bring you life, or it could bring you destruction!

Come GROW with us in Gods word and uncompromising truth!…

Basic Training
2 Peter 1:12-21
Sunday Live - 09/21/25
Pastor Brad Bell

THE FUNDAMENTALS…the basic training that is necessary for success in any field or endeavor.

Spiritually, It’s the foundational anchor in the storms, darkness and false directions of life that try to knock you off course.

Peter just laid out the “basic training” to grow in the faith and now he emphasizes the fact that we need to be continually reminded of these things!

Why?…because they will keep us ANCHORED in our faith and growth in the midst of uncertainty and especially in the face of false teaching that pulls us away from truth and makes us doubt the word of God.

If you want to grow, if you want stability in life’s storms, if you want to grow in faith and not doubt, if you want to be successful, you have to remember the fundamentals!…Stay ANCHORED in the BASIC TRAINING!
