free. Let's look at the word today. Let's open up to 2nd Peter. We'll start about the same place

we started last time I was preaching here. It's good to be here today. I took a couple of weekends

off and it was weird. You guys ever missed church a couple weekends? Man, I was sitting at home

texting people telling them what to do

because it was i i can't not be here that's your good english for today i can't not be here

amen and so that was not a that was not easy for me to sit and do nothing but i did it and'm done with that, so I shouldn't have to do it again

for a really long time. Amen. Let's pray over the word before we began. Father God, we do ask your help

and utterance for this service today. Lord, we're trusting you that it would be the very word of God

and not the word of man, Lord, that it would go forth and bless the hearer, Lord,

that it would encourage and help us in every way, that it would exalt you and glorify you,

and it would go into our hearts and be good seed and good soil and produce a good harvest

in our lives and in the lives of those we touch.

And we thank you for it in advance in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Glory to God.

Second Peter 1.

Starting in verse 3.

It says, according as His divine power has given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness

through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue.

How many think they're living a life of all things that pertain?

How many think that they have this down pat in other words they have all things okay let me

rephrase that how many are how many believe that god has given them all things now how many
