Never Stop Growing Session 4: Never Stop Growing in Steadfastness
2 Peter 1:5 — “For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness…”
[Read 2 Peter 1:3-8]
- What does it mean to be steadfast? If the term steadfast here means to “bear up under trial”, how are we to “bear up” in the day in which we are living?
- Can you think of any biblical examples of steadfastness? How did these people live out their faith?
- Second Peter gives us the context for the kind of steadfastness we are to live in before Christ’s return. Read 2 Peter 3:1-10. What does it say? How does this show us steadfastness?
- How might we overlook God’s timing, according to 2 Peter 3?
- How might we look upon God’s timing as we await the coming of Christ? Peter teaches us to view God’s timing as a picture of God’s mercy toward us. How so?
- So how can we look to the hope of Jesus Christ and His second coming?
- What does I Corinthians 15:58 say? How is the church to be steadfast and immovable in a culture that is anti-Christ and opposed to the truth of God’s word?
- How does steadfastness help the church be more effective and fruitful?
