As we were introduced to the letter to the Corinthian church, Paul established his spiritual authority with them, so that moving forward, the Corinthian believers would know what they hear from Paul will be coming from a firm biblical foundation. We left off last week being shown that God “enriches” His children with what they […]
As we begin to do a deep dive into the book of 1 Corinthians, it will help us more if we understand the environment in which the Corinthian people found themselves. Paul visited Corinth on his second missionary journey, after he had met with some seeming failure in the “cultured” Athens. While he was Corinth, […]
As we finish the book of 2 Peter, we remember that Peter has shown us that we can trust the Word of God, because the men who wrote down the words of Scripture were all inspired by the Holy Spirit, therefore the Bible is dependable, inspired, and it’s how we hear from God. In the […]
With our final chapter in 2 Peter, we could give it the title “The end of the world as we know it.” 2 Peter 3:1: “This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,” Peter begins the chapter by […]
Second Peter chapter 2 has been a difficult study for us because we are taking a deep dive into false teachers, investigating their characteristics and methods of operation, it revels the very core of their depravity. The danger of false teachers is so great that the Holy Spirit used both Peter and Jude to warn […]
In our last study we learned a little more about the lengths in which satan will use false teachers to do his dirty work. Throughout the New Testament Scriptures we receive numerous warnings to the fact that false teachers will immerge, and they have. There’s no easy way to know just how many there have […]
Last week Peter instructed us that false teachers would rise up among us. Even though this started during Peter’s time, it’s been going on for centuries and exists still today. It goes without saying, false teachers have the mind of satan and not the mind of Christ. It’s also important we remember that a false […]
As we move ahead to chapter 2 of 2 Peter, let’s remember the pearls of wisdom we gained from chapter 1. Peter has a genuine concern for each believer’s personal growth, as should any pastor or teacher. Peter’s mind-set toward the believers reminds me of the same compassion Jesus had in His heart for all […]
In verses 8 to 15 we learned that once we are committed to pursuing a holy lifestyle by growing in each of the seven characteristics that Peter has listed for us, we will find that we can be considered as productive disciples in the family of God. It’s a high honor to know Christ the […]
In verses 5 through 7 in 2 Peter chapter 1, Peter gave us seven characteristics for the Christian to aspire to. Just as a review they are: moral excellence or virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance or patience, godliness, brotherly love, and agape love. He told us that each of these characteristics builds off one another. Why […]
