When times are uncertain and the future is unclear, it helps to refocus on things that are clear. God's Word is a firm foundation for us as individuals and as a church. Our mission and core values have not changed. Matthew 22:37-40, 28:19-20

As Peter finishes his final letters, he gives Christians four commands of how to be ready for the return of the Lord Jesus: Be Diligent, Be Thankful, Be on Guard, and Be Growing. 2 Peter 3:14-18

As Peter begins to wrap up the letter, he reminds us all that God is coming back. Brian walks through the passage showing the remembrance of Peter, the objection of those who do not know God, Peter's response to them, and our response as believers. 2 Peter 3:1-13

God cares about the truth, and Peter reminds believers of the Profile of False Teachers and the Fallout of False Teaching. 2 Peter 2:10b-22

False teachers operate by attacking the truth, specifically the truth of who Jesus is. They do this for purposes of exploitation. Peter is warning believers of these realities, and also encouraging them by reminding them of the judgment of God. 2 Peter 2:1-10a

Peter tells us that no prophecy of Scripture has come from men but rather men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. In a dark and dying world, God's Word is our light in the darkness.

As his death approaches, Peter writes his final letter to Christians reminding them that they have been given supernatural resources to live a Godly life. These resources give them a responsibility to make every effort to grow in their faith. 2 Peter 1:1-11

At the end of Amos we see that God provides hope for his people even as he promises to judge them for their sin. Amos 9.

The visions Amos gets from God reminds us of the importance of aligning our thinking and behaviors according to the plumb line of God's justice and righteousness found in his word instead of the values of the world. Amos 7-8

The book of Amos is about God's judgment on Israel, but we are able to learn from the reasons for their judgment (comfort at a cost and a phony faith) while also learning from the call to repentance offered to individual Israelites. (Amos Chs 5-6)
