How can grace and peace be multiplied in life? Peter places emphasis on the knowledge of God. The word know or knowledge is used at least thirteen times in just 3 chapters. Knowledge is more than an intellectual understanding of truths.

2 Peter 1:1-2, Grace and Peace Multiplied

God is mighty to exalt the humble. How can we humble ourselves? Realize your own inefficiency, serve for God’s Glory alone, and trust God.

What is a biblical elder? An Elder cannot effectively lead you if the Holy Spirit is not living in you. If you are unsaved, this is your first step into the church. No matter your role in the church, we can all use the exhortation here to better our daily Christian walk. Don’t quit when times get tough.

All that we do is for His glory. Are you prepared to face suffering that may come in the Christian life? How are you living with the suffering you are currently in? My premise in these sermons is that our lives will never be fully fulfilled until we submit ourselves primarily to the pursuit of that which glorifies God.

All that we do is for His glory. Peter writes to a suffering church, that they are to be serving for God’s glory. Certainly, we should be as well. In our Prayer Life, with our Hospitality, using our Gifts — our lives should be bringing Glory to God on a regular basis. A good clue, to determine if your life is doing this, is to see it as drawing others to God.

Christ’s suffering is a pattern for the believer. Christian, would you respond to the Word of God today? Do I live By the Will of God? Do I live Counter to Culture? Once you’ve experienced forgiveness of sin, a renewed life, a relationship with God, you’ll never go back!

Jesus Christ is the perfect example of one who suffered unjustly and yet obeyed God. Let’s consider the Death of Christ, His Resurrection, Ascension, and finally the
implications of this all within the church today.

There is a blessing of suffering for Christ. Peter writes to encourage Christians toward Hope in Christ through their suffering. Suffering can be associated with a poor decision or something one brought upon their self. However, there will be times of suffering while only ever doing good — or, even suffering FOR doing good.

Everyone wants “the good life”! Peace and relaxation… to be healthy and wealthy, etc. We want the weather to be fishing weather all the time. We want the cool and crisp mountains and the warm sunny beaches, right in our own back yard!

Man looks on the outside, but God looks on the heart. Certainly, we are entering a space today which is most intimate, important, and greatly effects: the home, the church, and the individual spiritual life. If both spouses can learn to imitate Jesus’s submission, obedience, and desire to serve others, there will be victory and joy in all the areas of life affected.
