Part 2 of a 3 part series on 2 Peter by Dick Lucas at the Autumn Joint Ministers conference 2011.

"Make your calling and election sure"

The little letter of 2 Peter, with its powerful warnings against falling away, and against false teaching, contains many puzzles for the expositor. There are many commentaries which discuss these, but little to relate those discussions to the life of the Christian and of the church. Dick Lucas looks at how the preacher can do exactly that, because it is preaching that changes the church.

In the process, he faces the tough issue of apostasy with the awareness that it is a real problem in all our churches. Peter's warnings are not abstract theology, but a much-needed call to the church today.
