2 PETER 1:1-8: STAY THE COURSE—KEEP THE FAITH!
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. // 2 Peter 1:1-8
In our Overflow series, we have eight months and eleven practices behind us. There are three months and four practices before us.
“Perseverance” in Greek, “hupomeno” describes an active and energetic resistance to hostile power.
In his sermon on August 25, Dr. Kannwischer posed the question of whether we want to be coached or indulged—which do you desire?
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31
What is the source of your power?
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15
5 PM | FELLOWSHIP HALL
Join Dr. Richard Kannwischer for a Pentz Speaker Series Event featuring Egyptologist Ramez Salama. Ramez has been guiding travelers in Egypt for over 20 years. In 2016, he founded High End Journeys, a luxury tour company. Ramez often shares his passion for his country by delivering lectures on Egyptian history and heritage at American churches and schools.
During the event, Ramez will discuss why Egypt plays such an instrumental role in the Old Testament of the Bible. He will also share what it’s like to be a Christian in the Middle East in today’s times.
Just as families keep in touch about joys and sorrows, our church family at Peachtree wants to do the same. During your prayers this week, we ask you to lift up these people to God.
