Advent


Patience

00:00/00:00

Waiting is not easy. We all know that being idle is not helpful for patience. In this message by Pastor Todd Frusti, we consider the Biblical wisdom of 2 Peter 3:8-14 as it applies to the lessons in patience which are learned in this season on Advent.

After listening to the audio recording of this message, we encourage you to spend some extra time in God’s Word using the tools below.  If you have any questions about the study questions, please email Pastor Frusti for a prompt reply.

Bible Memory Verse:
2 Peter 3:10 (ESV) “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.”
Digging Deeper Study:
Read again this week’s Gospel account from Mark 1:1-8.  Verse one likely contains Mark’s original title for the work.  What do you think it is?
In the very first verse of his book, Mark identifies Jesus as the “Son of God”.  This is not the only place that Mark makes this claim about Jesus in his Gospel. Please see some of the other accounts:  Mark 3:7-12 and Mark 14:53-65.
Compare the first five verses of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  How do they differ?  What do their idiosyncrasies reveal about their particular audiences?
