Would you join me in a word of prayer?

Heavenly Father, thank you, Lord.

Thank you for the prophecy update, Lord, that keeps our eyes focused on you looking forward, Lord,

looking into the future for what you have in store for us, Lord.

Would you be with us as we get into our Bible teaching this morning, Lord, that you would just lead us, guide us, Lord, and just speak to us.

We thank you for this time and this place that we have gathered.

We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Amen and amen. Good morning and welcome.

You can be seated, but I'm going to have you stand up in a second, so up to you. Do you feel like you're in a Catholic church right now? So, up, sorry. Second Peter, Chapter 2, beginning in verse 4 in our verse by verse study.

I know you're waiting for it.

I'm getting there.

I noticed you sat, so maybe I'll give you a break for just a moment, but don't get too

comfortable.

Maybe I should just welcome the online viewers.

We're so glad that you're joining with us.

We go through the Bible verse by verse, and we are currently in Second Peter,

so we finished off in verse three last week. We'll pick it up in verse four, Lord will he make it

through to verse nine? And so now, for those of you that you don't have to, but if you're able

and you want to, you can stand and follow along.

By the way, this is probably as good of a time as any to explain the why behind the what.

This comes out of the Old Testament.

When they would read the scrolls, the scriptures, they would stand for the reading of the scriptures.
