Peter gives us the “Golden Chain of Virtues” that ought to mark our character as Christians and then encourages us to be fruitful in the qualities. 

Peter says God has given us all we need for life and godliness; we look at nine blessings related to that, as well as two results of God's magnificent promises.

We begin our study in 2 Peter.

2 Peter was written to defend the faith against false teachers and false doctrines. Peter begins the epistle by telling his readers that he is both an apostle and a servant.

Habakkuk pronounces God’s great power in terms of His control over nature and as a warrior who comes in judgment.

Habakkuk continues to proclaim the Lord’s power by means of God’s past works and in his description of God coming as a warrior.

God is the sovereign lord over all gods and spiritual powers. All that He does is for eternal purposes including all the aspects of His redemptive work in our lives.

The second part of Habakkuk chapter three is “The Pronouncement of God’s power,” vs 3-15. In this session we begin to look at God’s past works with emphasis on what the LORD did in delivering His people from Egypt some 800 years prior to Habakkuk.

Woe #5 concludes with stunning contrasts between idols and the true living God; chapter three begins with Habakkuk's prayer in awe of God and his request for the Lord to revive His people

We consider three observations about idols and two stunning contrasts between idols and the living God of creation.
