The significance of "The End Is Near"

It’s a phrase that often evokes eye-rolls, fear, or images of someone on a street corner holding a cardboard sign. But what if those words hold deep biblical truth, eternal significance, and a timely message for your life right now?

In this compelling sermon, Mark Manfredi takes us into 2 Peter 3, a sobering yet hope-filled passage where the Apostle Peter writes to early Christians facing persecution, suffering, and cultural resistance. Far from sensationalism, Peter speaks of the end with urgency, honesty, and peace—reminding us that the final judgment is real, but so is the mercy and patience of God.

In this message, you’ll discover:

- Why the Bible says “the end is near”—and why that’s actually good news
- How scoffing at judgment often masks a deeper fear of being at war with God
- Why God delays judgment—not because He’s absent, but because He’s patient
- What will truly remain when everything else burns away
- How to live with peace, purpose, and perspective in the midst of chaos

“Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness…” — 2 Peter 3;11 (ESV)

This sermon will challenge you to stop living as though this world will last forever, and instead start living for what actually does. You’ll be reminded that your soul, your choices, your holiness, and your surrender to Jesus matter more than all the stuff you accumulate or the noise you try to tune out.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the news, numb from the pace of life, or unsure about where you stand with God, this message will meet you where you are—and call you into something deeper. Something eternal
