An Ordinary Man: #34 Something to be Sure Of

Today we close our series An Ordinary Man: The Life and Writings of the Apostle Peter by looking at one of Jesus’ most certain yet most ignored promises: His return. Peter reminds us in 2 Peter 3:3–15 that scoffers will say, “Where is this coming he promised?” But history itself proves that God interrupts the ordinary with unexpected, world-changing events—the creation, the flood, the incarnation, the resurrection. The greatest of these “black swan” events will be the second coming of Christ: sudden, spectacular, and absolutely certain. For those in Christ, His return as Judge is good news—because we are forgiven and clothed in His righteousness. But for those who reject Him, it will be a day of unpreparedness and regret. Peter’s message is simple: expect the unexpected, and live ready. Support the show

An Ordinary Man: #33 Waterless Spring

False teachers always tell us what we want to hear, but Christ tells us what we need to hear. In 2 Peter 2:17, we’re warned that false teachers are like springs without water—offering hope but leaving only emptiness, leading ultimately to “blackest darkness.” By contrast, Jesus speaks hard truths that cut to the heart: exposing sin, hypocrisy, and our need for a Savior. In this message, we see why running from Christ’s authority only leads to despair, while submitting to His authority brings life, beauty, and safety—like a hen protecting her chicks or a shepherd guarding his sheep. The choice is clear: follow false teachers into empty promises, or follow Christ into rest for our souls. Support the show

An Ordinary Man: #32 Remember

Christ’s majesty is revealed by God, not invented by man. Peter saw Jesus’ glory on the mountain, and the prophets spoke by the Spirit—not by human ideas. We can trust what Scripture says about Christ. Without Him, life is like walking in darkness. With Him, His light guides us until the day He returns in glory. Support the show

An Ordinary Man: #31 Through Our Knowledge of Him

In 2 Peter 1:3–8, Peter makes one of the boldest claims in all of Scripture: God’s divine power has already given us everything we need for life and godliness—and it comes through our knowledge of Jesus Christ. In this message, we explore what it means to unlock that promise. Through knowing Christ, we are set free from the corruption of sin and become partakers of God’s own nature. With vivid illustrations from Israel’s wilderness journey, the design of DNA, and Christ’s words from the cross, we see how the knowledge of Jesus is not just information—it’s transformation.

An Ordinary Man: #30 Complete Perfection

The spiritual battles we face are not meant to destroy us but to refine us. The enemy, like a roaring lion, seeks to devour us, but God uses these struggles to prepare us for His promises. The key is not to run or surrender, but to resist the devil by standing firm in the truth of God’s Word. When we hold fast to our faith, we not only protect ourselves from the lies and accusations of the enemy, but we also grow stronger in our relationship with Christ. Support the show
