2 Peter - Day of the Lord Comes as a Thief - PDF

Center Point Assembly

Sunday, November 17, 2024 – The title of today’s message is “The Day of the Lord Comes as a Thief.” This phrase is taken directly from 2 Peter 3:10. Our discussion focuses on what the “Day of the Lord” signifies and why it is described as “coming as a thief.” We will explore various prophetic Scriptures that help us understand the events and timing related to Peter’s statements. The most important takeaway for true believers and disciples of Jesus is this simple truth: there is no fear, dread, or anxiety in everything that prophecy reveals. As beloved children of God, we are prepared for what lies ahead. In contrast, the carnal Christian or the unbeliever has nothing but fear and dread to anticipate. The “Day of the Lord” brings both judgment and blessings. Although this encompasses an extended time period, it begins suddenly and unexpectedly—like a thief in the night. For followers of Jesus, Scripture provides abundant information that indicates this is a season of joyful expectation, not fear. Join us in worship and study as we delve deeper into these truths.
