Stand Firm: 2023 National Conference

































Second Peter 3:9–13 proclaims the coming day of judgment and the renewal of all things in a new heaven and earth, calling us to live godly lives as we await the new creation where righteousness dwells. In this message, Dr. Derek Thomas looks at some of the basics of eschatology, such as the doctrine of glorification, the beatific vision, and the coming new heaven and earth. Dr. Thomas also explores how knowing the goal of creation helps us to persevere and stand firm now.
