Certain Faith Security (2 Peter 3:11–18). In the midst of a sinful world destroying itself, we are encouraged to live belonging to God. Our standing does not depend upon our works, but God dwelling with us. Be secure in your faith trusting Christ’s grace working in you!

Stimulating Wholesome Word (2 Peter 3:1–10). Peter points us to the Word given with authority that creates, judges and rescues. Don’t be annoyed by scoffers who are gonna scoff. Everything will be laid bare. Wickedness and evil will be exposed. God will be revealed as He truly is.

Waterless Spring Oxymorons (2 Peter 2:17–22). These false teachers are the exact opposite of what they presume to be. Though they promise freedom, they are slaves to sin mastered by their lust to work salvation out of their own sin-bound flesh. (see Gal 5:1)

Arrogant Bold Blasphemers (2 Peter 2:10b–16). These blaspheming heretics are bold to heap condemnation on others. Speaking false teaching out of their instinctual sin-bound reason, they are caught by sin and bound to destruction. These heretics are sorcerers intent on manipulating God.

Furtive Exploitive Heretics (2 Peter 2:1–10a). These false teachers sneakily insert destructive heresies mixed with the truth. They fabricate and speculate. If God doesn’t spare angels, what should they expect. God rescues the godly who seek Him in worship, Spirit and truth.

Absolutely Spirit Stimulated (2 Peter 1:12–21). We don’t follow myths. Refresh yourself in the eyewitness accounts about Jesus Christ who came in power and honor. He is the bright morning star that shines in our hearts. Scripture is absolutely moved by God, not human intent. (see 2 Cor 4:6)

Every Promise Needed (2 Peter 1:1–11). You have received every great and precious promise necessary to lead and enjoy a godly life. By glorious goodness Christ has elected and called you to a new life in Him. Are you growing in your disciple living?

Darkness Rebels Against (Luke 22:39–53). Christ, on the verge of crucifixion, advises you to pray to fend off temptation. Do we kiss Jesus only to then betray him? Irony alert as the earthly forces seeking to arrest and destroy the Prince of Peace accuse him of rebellion.

Satan Sifting Faith (Luke 22:31–38). Christ says the rulers of unbelievers who are without the covenant exercise power and control. Like Christ we are called as servant leaders. Warned about Satan sifting the disciples, there is no doubt we will fail. Jesus prays our faith will endure.

When The Kingdom Comes (Luke 22:14–30). As Jesus is eager for the Passover, are you eager for the Lord’s Supper as a foretaste of Christ’s return? The Bread and the Cup is the meal of the coming Kingdom. Do you betray or keep Christ at Christmas?
