Standing Firm in the Truth

How can we know that what we believe about Jesus Christ is really true?

In this sermon from 2 Peter 1:16–21, Pastor Anthony Achée explains why the Christian faith is not founded upon myths, speculation, or human imagination. Peter points believers to the eyewitness testimony of the apostles and the prophetic Word inspired by the Holy Spirit. Together, they provide a trustworthy foundation for our faith.

This message focuses on three truths: Peter’s Personal Proclamation (vv. 16–18) Prophetic Promises Proved (v. 19) The Holy Spirit’s Scriptural Source (vv. 20–21)

In a world filled with conflicting voices and competing claims, God’s Word shines like a lamp in the darkness. Until Christ returns in glory, we are called to pay careful attention to Scripture, stand confidently upon its truth, and faithfully live according to what God has revealed.

Big Idea: God’s Word is a trustworthy foundation that anchors our faith in truth amid uncertainty and confusion.
