In this verse-by-verse study of 2 Peter 1:12-15, we look at the necessity of spiritual memory. Most of us have forgotten the algebra or trigonometry we learned in high school, and while being rusty at long division won’t hurt your walk with God, forgetting the truth of the Gospel certainly will. Peter, writing his final will and testament, focuses his remaining energy on reminding the church of the truths they already know. Even if you are established in the faith, truth needs to be repeated to keep us from becoming spiritually drowsy.



Peter describes his approaching death as laying aside a “bodily tent.” This Calvary Chapel Bible study explores how the apostle viewed his departure not as a defeat, but as an exodus. We examine what it means to be established in the truth so that we are not knocked over by false teachers or the trials of life. Whether you are searching for Jesus, interested in biblical prophecy, or looking to grow in your Christian faith, this teaching highlights the importance of thickening the foundation of your life through the Word of God.



We explore the command Jesus gave Peter to “strengthen your brothers” and how Peter faithfully fulfilled that duty until his final breath. This video is part of our systematic journey through the New Testament, designed for those who want to study the Bible deeply but without the stuffy atmosphere. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take the Word of God very seriously. Join us as we learn why we must “over-learn” the Gospel to remain stirred up and ready for whatever the future holds.



Main Points Covered:

The tendency of human beings toward spiritual amnesia.



Why even mature Christians need constant reminders of the Gospel.



The biblical definition of being established in the truth.



Peter’s perspective on death as a departure and an exodus.



The responsibility of every believer to stay awake and stirred up.



If you are looking for Calvary Chapel teachings or simply want to know more about the God of Israel and the salvation found in Jesus Christ, we hope this study encourages you. Let’s stop worrying about calculating pi and start focusing on the eternal truths that fortify our souls.
