The Coming Of The Lord

Pastor Tony Costa continues his sermon series on false teachers in 2 Peter 3:1-10 Outline:

In relation to the unbeliever.  The last days - the period between His first and His second coming - Acts 2:17; 2 Tim. 3:1; 1 Peter 1:20

1. The argument of the false teachers - vs. 3,4  ("nothing has changed" - uniformity)

2. The argument of Peter

God's promise of Christ's coming to judge... a) is stated in His Word - vs. 1,2 (Isaiah 66:15,16; Mal. 4:1-3 b) has been confirmed by history - vs. 5,6 (Matt. 24:36-39) c) Has not been forgotten - v. 8 (Psalm 90:4) d) is consistent with His character - v. 9 (1 Thess. 5:3) The Day of the Lord - 2 Thess. 1:7-10; Joel 2 "The intellectual denial of the Lord is caused by a moral defect in the character of man." "Right now it seems that man is having his day.. But the day of man is about to end, to give place to the Day of the Lord.”
