10 2Peter 2:13-16 Balaam and the false teachers

December 19, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

Continuing his warnings about the false teachers, Peter uses of Balaam from Numbers 22-24. Like Balaam, the false teachers are profiting from causing the people of God to stumble.

09 2Peter 2:10-12 Who are the “glorious ones” and why are they reviled?

December 12, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

In the third major interpretative challenge of 2 Peter 2, we tackle the questions of who are the glorious ones, why would they be reviled and what does Peter want us to learn from this example?

07 2Peter 2:4 Does Peter quote Enoch?

November 28, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

Peter and Jude appear to be quoting the book of 1 Enoch, which is part of the psuedepigrapha. Why would they quote it? What does it mean when an apostle quotes from a non-biblical source? I think both Peter and Jude quote 1 Enoch, the way a teacher today might quote Harry Potter — to make a point based on popular culture.

06 2Peter 2:1-3 Why 2Peter 2 and Jude are similar

November 14, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

2 Peter 2 and the Epistle of Jude presents the same ideas in the same order and often use the same words. Did Peter copy from Jude? Did Jude copy from Peter? Or did they both copy from someone else? What’s going on?

01 2Peter 1:1-4 How to find Life

October 10, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

Peter wrote this letter to churches infected by false teachers to encourage them to remain true to the apostolic gospel. He encourages them to reject both the message and the lifestyle of the false teachers. He starts his case by proclaiming thatin the gospel we have everything we need to obtain Life and godliness. #witw #Biblestudy #2peter

08 1Peter 3:18-4:6 The days of Noah

September 19, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

1 Peter 3:18-4:6 includes one of the more difficult passages in the New Testament. However we understand this section, the context suggests that the main point should be related to patiently enduring suffering for the sake of another.

07 1Peter 3:8-17 Who is there to harm you?

September 12, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

Peter wraps up the second major section of his letter reminding his readers that the more we embrace the truth of who Jesus is and what he did for us, the less we have to fear. The more we know where life, hope and blessing are to be found, the freer we are to let go of this world.

06 1Peter 3:1-7 When you’re treated unfairly

September 5, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

In his 3 examples, Peter addresses people who are stuck in a binding social relationship which they cannot easily escape. His advice to all 3 situations is the same: As aliens and strangers you are called to live in a hostile unbelieving world. When possible show the unbelievers that you are a person of virtue by behaving in a submissive and respectful way. Love your oppressor so that your faith is not interpreted as rebellion and hostility, and they may see God’s grace through you.

05 1Peter 2:11-25 When you’re treated unjustly

August 29, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

Peter gives us the principle in 1 Peter 2:11-12 and then he applies that principle to 3 situations where someone is be treated unfairly in a binding social relationship: a citizen under an unjust government, a slave under an unjust master and a wife married to an unbelieving husband. This talk examines the first 2 examples.
