The Apostle Peter gives the reason for writing his epistle in Chapter 3. Scoffers will come, challenging God's Word and tempting us to turn to the world for comfort and deliverance from trials. Pastor Mat encourages us to live in the reality that we are citizens of heaven; this is not our permanent home. Don't compromise our relationship with Jesus to give ourselves temporary relief.

How do false prophets and teachers deceive people? In this study, Pastor Mat looks at the Apostle Peter's warnings about false teachers that are actually settled in among believers. He describes their character, lists their sins, and explains their allure. He cautions us not to be drawn away to follow after them. As apostasy grows in our world, it is an important message for us to take to heart.

Why do people gravitate toward false prophets? How do you spot a false prophet? Do they even know that they are false prophets? These are some of the questions Pastor Mat looks at in this study. Peter was writing to people who were suffering, encouraging them with the fact that God knew how to deliver them. They did not need to turn to false prophets and worldly remedies. Neither do we.

Christians don't work to GET saved, but once we are saved we are to be diligent to work to be more like Jesus Christ. Pastor Mat will explain that in this study in Second Peter. We will also deal with questions like: How do we know we are in God's Kingdom? What causes believers to backslide? Will God ever give up on a believer in Christ? Challenging but reassuring truths to be reminded of over and over again.

Do you feel fruitful today? The Apostle Peter tells us we have everything we need for life and godliness, everything we need to be fruitful for God's glory. However, this does not mean it will necessarily be easy. Jesus' power is available for us, but is Jesus enough? These are some of the questions Pastor Mat deals with as we look at what it really means to be partakers of the divine nature and what we should add to our faith.

There should be a change in our lives when we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. And we should keep on changing. How do we keep the fire of our passion for Jesus blazing? Pastor Mat looks at that very question as he begins this series in Second Peter.
