The Gospel Call to Grow (2 Peter 1:3-11) sermon by Danson Ottawa

The Christian life Podcast (TCLP)

This is definitely the most important message for any Christian anywhere and everywhere.

The 21stCentury Christianity has definitely been under attack: from false teaching and doctrines to the struggle with the assurance of salvation to apostasy.

In fact in the recent past, we have seen many renown Christians recant their faith and some have been brought to light of their false teaching and false profession of faith.

Not only is it a sensitive and tough situation for the church at large but it is a reality for individuals like us in this room.

Though we strongly profess faith in Christ believing in the Christ who bore our sins, we are constantly facing the presence of sin, the presence of lust and pride and nearly anything possible under the sun from the devil. We are also facing friends in our school and in our departments who do not believe in Christ and some claim to be atheist and agnostic and we are unable to reach out to them and consequently some of the arguments make it easy for us to doubt our own faith.

Well, this is not unique to us but the reality is that this was the case even with the audience Peter was writing to.

They both faced the internal tension of living a growing Christian walk with the Lord as well as seeking to confront the false teachers who questioned the nature of Christ and the gospel and distorted the Christian message.
