Overview

According to 2 Peter, one day the earth will be renewed by fire, and we will live together in a new world where all wrongs are righted and all sorrows swept away. Because we have this sure hope, we can turn from living for ourselves and for what we want in the moment. Instead, we can follow Jesus into the hardest places as we keep eternity in focus.

2 Peter: Living with the End in Mind helps readers learn to follow Jesus into the hardest places. We live for Jesus and grow like him because someday we will be with him forever.

Eight lessons from the book of 2 Peter and includes leader’s notes.

Easy-to-use small group resource includes discussion questions, a short article, and practical application section that can be used for one-to-one discipleship, small group, or large group settings.

Part of the Gospel-Centered Life in the Bible series examines how the gospel story is revealed through both the Old and New Testaments, published in partnership with Serge.

Praise for 2 Peter

Second Peter can be difficult to understand, but we would be greatly impoverished not to heed its message. I therefore highly recommend this concise study guide by Jonathan Gibson that highlights the richness and relevance of this epistle in our own day. This guide navigates the difficult portions adeptly, explains the pastoral emphases clearly, and encourages us all to follow Christ more faithfully.

--Brandon D. Crowe, Professor of New Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia

If you are looking for a small group study of 2 Peter, look no further! Jonathan Gibson has provided us with a sure-footed guide for appropriating its life-giving counsel through eight concise lessons, each featuring a brief vigorous exposition of the text and carefully wrought exercises and questions that will promote, as the title says, living with the end in mind.

--Kent Hughes, Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church, Wheaton, IL

This outstanding resource from Jonathan Gibson will help your group understand 2 Peter and hear what God is saying to you through his Word. It will also help you grasp the theological implications of the text and see how they apply to your life. Highly recommended!
