Sermons by Rod Bunton (Page 7)
Living by Faith in an Evil World
Habakkuk When life is confusing and difficult, when the world doesn’t make sense, turn to the Lord! Pastor Rod Bunton looks at the lessons from the prophet Habakkuk who asked God pressing questions about evil in the world and the Lord’s response caused Habakkuk to rejoice in song.
From Reconciliation to Ambassadors
2 Corinthians 5:18-21 Even though, as sinners, we offend God, He is the one that offers reconciliation. Pastor Rod Bunton explains why God does this and what responsibility we have as believers after we are reconciled.
Final Warning: Only Believe the Source of Truth
2 Peter 3:15b-18 In closing his second letter, Peter sums up the point of his message. Pastor Rod Bunton concludes his teaching on this book by reminding us that Christians should be wary of false teachers and follow only the teaching of the apostles who were led by the Holy Spirit.
Be Diligent in Your Preparation
2 Peter 3:14-15 As we await the day of the Lord, we shouldn’t just waste the time that we have. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches that we should be working diligently to prepare ourselves by pursuing holiness.
Looking For and Hastening the Coming of the Day of God
2 Peter 3:11-12a Peter says that until it comes, we should be looking for and hastening the coming of the Day of the Lord. Pastor Rod Bunton explores our human responsibility in the second coming of the Lord.
The Glorious Resurrection of the Saints
Philippians 3 After Christ’s crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, He began a timeline that ultimately prepares a Heavenly home for believers. Pastor Rod Bunton starts in Philippians 3 and explores supporting passages to explain how Christians will also experience a resurrection and a new body for eternity.
The Day of the Lord: Characteristics
2 Peter 3:10-13 When the Day of the Lord comes, what will it look like? Pastor Rod Bunton looks at the characteristics of that event and explains why we should care about it now.
The Day of the Lord: Three Assurances
2 Peter 3:5-9 False teachers in the first century were skeptical of the second coming of the Lord and the judgment of unbelievers — after all, it had never happened before! Pastor Rod Bunton looks at three assurances that the Day of the Lord will happen just as prophesied by Jesus himself.
The Day of the Lord: Prophecy vs. Mockery
2 Peter 3:1-4 In Chapter 3, Peter turns to the second coming of Christ and the judgment that event will bring. Pastor Rod Bunton looks at the first four verses that discuss the contrast between true prophecy about the event from the Scriptures verses those false prophets who, in their ignorance, mock those who believe.
The Trap of the Apostate
2 Peter 2:20-22 Peter concludes Chapter 2 by focusing on a special category of false teachers: apostates. Pastor Rod Bunton reminds us of the best-known apostate, Judas Iscariot, who was privileged to walk with and hear from Jesus himself and yet turned away from the truth.
Powerless Promises
2 Peter 2:17-19 One of the problems with false prophets is that they cannot preach a life-giving message because they start with a bible full of errors. Pastor Rod Bunton continues teaching from 2 Peter 2 about the false teachers who tickle the ears but deliver powerless promises.
Recognizing False Prophets
2 Peter 2:10b-16 Continuing to warn his readers about false prophets, Peter gives details about their personal characteristics. Pastor Rod Bunton helps us understand those qualities with which we can recognize them today.
