The Apostle Peter, writing his final words in his second letter to the church, had sobering statements to make about being found diligent by Jesus upon his return. He warned of those who twisted the writings of his fellow Apostle, Paul, and who would instruct people in error and lead them astray. Peter was concerned about the danger this posed to both new and mature Christians—that they would be swept away from Christ by wrongheaded thinking.
The antidote? “But you, grow in the grace and knowledge of our Master and Savior, Jesus, the Messiah.” (2 Peter 3:18).
This is why classes are so important for our church family, alongside connection and community. Because not only do we need relationships to hold us fast to Christ, but knowledge.

Current Core Seminar—Biblical Theology: Jesus at the Center of Scripture’s Story
Biblical theology is the discipline of learning how to read the Bible as one story by one divine author that culminates in the person and work of Christ, so that every part of Scripture is understood in relation to Christ. It’s a way to read the Bible.
