The Formula for Godliness and the Role of Self Control

May 7, 2023 • Dunstan Gomes • 2 Peter 1:5–7, 2 Peter 1:3–4

To grasp the value and role “self-control” plays within our everyday lives we need to have a clear picture of what God desires for us. This weekend we will dive deeper into 2 Peter 1:3-4 to create a formula to help us understand God’s plan and our role in it! With the formula, we will also have a better understanding of our need to develop self-control.

Add To Your Faith - Love

This message takes one of the most overused, confused, misused, and abused words: ‘love’, explores its origins, its place in our current culture, and the reason human love is so limited. It then examines the unique properties and power of a different kind of love: agape!

Add To Your Faith - Affection

If relationship phrases like ‘synthetic-relationships’, ‘a knife-in-the-back-of-our-own-selfishness’, ‘out-honouring-others’, and ‘taking-a-relational-laxative’ are unfamiliar to you, then this message from 2 Peter 1:6, Romans 12:10 and 1 Peter 1:22 may be just what you need!

Add To Your Faith - Godliness

May 21, 2023 • Todd Petkau • 2 Peter 1:6

As we attempt to understand the 5th element in Peter’s ‘formula for godly living’, we quickly realize that this idea of ‘godliness’ is somewhat nebulous, antiquated, and difficult to define! In this message, we take on the challenge of defining and taking a firm grip on what it means to be godly as we continue our study in 2 Peter 1:5-9!
