2066 - II Peter 1

Darryl Henson - May 16, 2026 - Returning to the series started before Passover, we pick up again in II Peter 1, emphasizing Peter’s role as a servant‑leader to the early scattered Church. The message highlights that true righteousness and peace come only through God’s power, knowledge, and Spirit, not human effort. Believers are reminded that God has given “precious promises” so they can grow into His divine nature and escape the world’s corruption. The chapter’s progression of spiritual qualities—faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love—is explained as a deliberate, diligent, and patient process of transformation. When these qualities abound, they reshape a Christian’s character, making them spiritually fruitful and aligned with Christ.
