2Peter

13 2Peter 3:8-9 Free will and God’s sovereignty

January 23, 2019 by Krisan Marotta

2 Peter 3:8-9 features in the debate over God’s sovereignty and human free will. While this verse does not settle the debate, understanding what Peter means in context teaches us a lot about both good Bible study and the issues in the debate.

12 2Peter 3:1-7 The Point of it all

January 16, 2019 by Krisan Marotta

Peter argues that more than anything else we need to find life through forgiveness and to find fulfillment through righteousness. It is this hope that he wants us to remember such that we let it change our lives today.

11 2Peter 2:17-22 Freedom, slavery and sin

January 9, 2019 by Krisan Marotta

Peter warns that the false teachers are like springs without water, promising freedom but delivering destruction and he warns his readers not be deceived by their empty promises.

08 2Peter 2:5-10 The Certainty of Judgment

December 5, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

The coming judgment of God is not a popular topic today. We prefer to emphasize God’s love instead. Yet Peter thought judgment was important enough to include in his final letter, so that would remember it long after he is gone.

05 2Peter 1:12-21 The Prophetic Word

November 7, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

Peter asserts the gospel is not a clever philosophy but divine revelation from God. Which presents us with a choice about how we understand the Bible.

04 2Peter 1:7-11 Brotherly affection & love

October 31, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

In 2 Peter 1:5-11, Peter explains the connection between believing the gospel and pursuing a lifestyle of godliness. When we come to believe the gospel, these qualities follow. In last week’s podcast, we defined the first 5 terms on the list. In this podcast we’ll finish the list and cover Peter’s conclusion that our lives as believers will be marked by these growing qualities.

03 2Peter 1:5-6 Virtue to Godliness

October 24, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

In 2 Peter 1:5-11, Peter is explaining the connection between believing the gospel and pursuing a lifestyle of godliness. I argued in the previous podcast that these qualities are NOT the cause of spiritual maturity, rather they RESULT from spiritual maturity. When we come to believe the gospel, these qualities follow. In this podcast we’ll define each term in the list and discuss why Peter includes it and how it results from faith.

02 2Peter 1:5-11 For this very reason

October 17, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

To understand 2 Peter 1:5-11, we need to know that: 1)Peter is speaking to churches who are bewitched by false teachers who are encouraging them to pursue greed and sensuality; 2)Believing the gospel includes a change in lifestyle.

2Peter: How to find life

October 7, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

Simon Peter served as an apostle of Jesus Christ for 3 or 4 decades.  As his earthly life drew to a close, Peter wrote his second letter to encourage and admonish the churches. What truths did he think were so important that he had to make sure he wrote them down before he died? Peter strongly emphasizes our future hope and the return of Christ.  Our future hope is more than living forever: it concerns being freed from sin and death and sharing the holiness of God.
