Walking With Christ In Turbulent Times. Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 19, 2024

Peter wrote to the scattered and persecuted Christians throughout a vast area. Peter is writing as a fellow sufferer. Peter probably wrote this book from Roman imprisonment.

The sixties were very turbulent times. I was born in 1961, but I am not talking about those sixties. I am talking about AD 61 to AD 70. It is the context, and it sets the stage for what Peter wrote and to whom Peter wrote in his books. Peter wrote his first book 1 Peter in about 63AD and this book ...read more

Got Grace? - 2 Peter 1:1-2 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 10, 2024

The Holy Spirit inspired them to say some form of “Grace to you” 31 times in the NT. If it’s that important for us to get more grace, why do we so seldom ask God for more grace in our prayers for ourselves and others? This message aims to open your eyes to the astonishing value of grace.

2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those equal to us in the faith they have received because of the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

Your Superpower - 2 Peter 1:3 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 10, 2024

It’s always a fun question to ask, “If you could have one superpower, what would you want it to be?” But the far more important question is this: “What would you do with it?” If God gave you unlimited access to divine power for the next 30 days, how would you use it?

Look at the first three words of 2 Peter 1:3 "His divine power …." That’s an awesome set of words—His divine power. They’re awesome words and their intriguing words, because so much of the frustration of life comes from not having the power we need. Wherever there’s failure in your ...read more

Contributed by William Meakin on Feb 4, 2024

Experiences are defined as a practical contact with, and observation of facts and events. They are incidents or chronicles that leave an impression on someone.

Samuel Beckett, an Irish novelist and dramatist once remarked: “It is right that he too should have his little chronicle, his memories, his reason, and be able to recognize the good in the bad, the bad in the worst, and so grow gently old down all the unchanging days, and die one day like any other ...read more

Go Forward

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jun 24, 2025

Remember the word of God affirms that God’s divine power has given us everything that pertains to life … (2 Peter 1:3). Now, let’s see how Prophet Elisha depicts how to go forward in life: Elisha (2 Kings ...read more
