In the Book of Second Peter, the Apostle Peter is going to teach about the dangers of false teachers. But, first, he presents some of the incredible spiritual riches we have as Christians (found in verses one through four). Then he talks about our response to these riches (found in verses five through eleven). Specifically, God has given us His divine power for life and godliness. This is a truth that all Christians need to meditate on.

Spoiler Alert! (2 Peter 3:10-18)
June 11, 2017 • Bill Young
Have you ever had a book or movie “spoiled" because someone shared the ending with you? This can be very frustrating. Or, it can be a relief, depending on your personality. As we conclude our study of 1 & 2 Peter, Peter reveals details of how our world will end. Rather than being a “spoiler" this is, in fact, a really good thing to know! Understanding that nothing in the universe is permanent (and that the earth is not our real home) should help keep us from ungodly living. The fact that Jesus is coming back (and heaven awaits the righteous) should bring us joy. It should also cause us to live holy lives. We’ll look at four characteristics of the Christian who really believes that the end of the world is near.
The Great Flood (2 Peter 3:1-9)

As we near the end of the book of 2 Peter, the Apostle Peter addresses one of the false teachings of his time. Namely, the false teachers deny that God will return for His final judgment. Peter takes his audience back to the creation and flood in order to demonstrate that God has intervened in history and He will again. We will look at some evidence for the flood and the truth this teaches us as Christians.
Danger Ahead (2 Peter 2:13-22)

The New Testament often speaks of a Christian’s “walk” being symbolic of their decisions and the lifestyle they choose as Believers. As we continue studying the book of 2 Peter, he warns us against the dangers of false teachers who are intent on derailing our spiritual walk. In this message, we will glean from Peter’s concern for the Church and observe four warning signs that will help us avoid false teachers and stay on the path of righteousness.
