The Devastating Corruption of False Teachers P2
In today’s episode, we’re unpacking a sobering warning from the apostle Peter about the danger of false teachers. These individuals are marked by pride, corruption, and a deep resistance to God’s authority. They speak boldly, but their words are empty—offering promises of freedom while they themselves remain enslaved to sin. They prey on the vulnerable, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing and distort the truth to serve their purposes. Peter compares them to Balaam, a man driven by greed and spiritual compromise. Once exposed to the truth, they chose to walk away—and now they face the weight of judgment. Their influence is subtle but destructive, leading others down a path of deception and ruin. This message is a powerful call to stay spiritually alert and discerning. As believers, we must know God’s Word deeply and guard our hearts against those who twist it for personal gain. Join us as we explore this challenging passage and learn how to stand firm in truth, even when deception sounds convincing.

Every Reason to Believe!
In a world full of noise, opinions, and “spiritual” ideas, Peter reminds us that our faith isn’t built on myth or feel-good stories—it’s anchored in real events and divine revelation. He wasn’t passing on secondhand rumors. He was there. He saw Jesus glorified with his own eyes and heard the voice of God on the mountain. But even more powerful than his personal experience, Peter points to Scripture as the ultimate, trustworthy guide.
The Bible isn’t just wise advice or spiritual poetry—it’s the very Word of God, breathed out through the Holy Spirit. It shines like a lamp in the darkness, guiding us until the day Christ returns in full glory.In a time when truth feels slippery and people often chase what’s flashy or new, Peter calls us back to what’s solid and unshakable: the gospel of Jesus Christ, confirmed by witnesses, and preserved in the written Word: the truth gives us every reason to believe!
Never tire of being Reminded! P2
Peter knew his time was short, but instead of panicking or fading quietly into the background, he focused on reminding others of truth. Not new ideas, not novel insights—but the foundational truths of the gospel that they already knew. Why? Because sometimes the greatest spiritual danger isn’t forgetting facts—it’s forgetting to live by them. Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do for each other is remind one another of who Jesus is and what He’s done—especially when life gets noisy or overwhelming. Peter’s legacy wasn’t about leaving new ideas, but making sure believers would never lose sight of the truth after he was gone.
Next Level Love P2
Most people would agree that it is not very difficult to reciprocate love to someone who loves and treats you well. We’ll even go to extreme lengths to demonstrate affection to those we care for, no matter the cost. But what about people who dislike, hurt, persecute or even, hate you? In our flesh, it seems unreasonable to expect someone to return love for hate, and kindness for cruelty, but that is exactly what Jesus calls us to do! Christ consistently showed love and compassion towards his enemies, even washing Judas’ feet while knowing that Judas would betray him the following day. Jesus loved us and died for us when we were still his enemies and did not know him. He demonstrates true, unconditional love as an example to emulate. We are not to love as the world loves, but to love exceptionally, as Jesus did. The bar has been raised!
