Source text 2 Peter 1:1-10

Learning from the wisdom of the Holy Spirit given through the words of Simon Peter, let’s look again into 2 Peter 1:1-10.

In verse 5 he says, “For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue (excellence) and virtue with ___________________.

What else are we to strive to add to our faith?
• Virtue
• Knowledge
• ________________________
• ________________________
• ________________________
• ________________________
• ________________________

We are told that if we work to practice these things to the point that they are not only present in our lives but are increasing we will effective and fruitful in our cause for Christ!

It is critical that we recognize Jesus’ desire for us to KNOW the things He came to earth to teach us! 
• Matt. 11:29, Jesus asks of us, “___________ from me…”

Note the 2 different responses found in Acts 2 & 7. Which will my heart allow me to have?

As Peter closes his second epistle (2 Peter 3:18) he encourages us to, “_________ in the grace and _____________ of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 

AM I SEEKING THIS KIND OF GROWTH IN MY LIFE?

How better to grow our faith like that grain of mustard seed than to make every effort to build our faith up with these things!

In light of these 3 accounts of amazing compassion, commitment, and companionship, we ask ourselves, “Am I the friend I need to be for others?”

Let today be the day I make a greater commitment to serve God. 
Let today be the day I share my compassion and companionship in new ways. 

Lord bless us all in our efforts to be the example of LOVE in this world you have called us to be!

Today we will look at an approach to sharing with others a few of the promises of God. This exercise proves important to us as well as we look to the Word for encouragement on difficult days. 

This is a “ROAD MAP” Lesson. You are encouraged to write an anchor verse to getyou started and then each new verse beside the last so that you can work through your Bible alone or with others as you learn and teach. 

First it is imperative to know that we can TRUST God’s promises!

Let us hold fast the confession of our _______ without ____________, for he who ______________ is ______________.

3 Things God never promised:

•  An Easy Life or Nice People / II Timothy 3:1-5
•  Tomorrow / James 4:13-15
•  Everyone Is Going To Heaven / Matthew 7:21

2 of God’s AMAZING promises:

•  2 Peter 1:3-4 & Isaiah 40:31

Our ROAD MAP verses for today:

HEBREWS 10:23, JAMES 4:13-15, MATTHEW 25:32-46, 1 JOHN 1:7-9, MATTHEW
