And amen and amen, good morning. You can be seated. Welcome. So glad you're here.

Want to welcome those of you that are joining us online as well. We're so glad that you are.

Before we get started, I wanted to mention that can you believe that Christmas is like

this upcoming Sunday already? Does that stress you out?

So please note that we are not having Sunday morning services on Christmas.

However, we are having a Christmas Eve service.

Saturday night, 5 p.m. is the start time. Also, today will be the

last time we're in 2 Peter until Sunday, January 8th, we'll resume our study. And

this because I'm going to have Pastor Mac and

Pastor Latu filling in for me so starting this Thursday Pastor Matt yeah

I like it when you do that because that they really like it when you do that

it it encourages them okay so but so starting this Thursday

pastor Mac will be teaching and then I will be here Christmas Eve and then I'll be

back on January 8th after that and we'll resume our course Bible prophecy updates and the

2nd Peter teaching as well so with that let's get into the word second Peter

chapter 1 verse by verse through this amazing epistle of Peter his second

epistle we're going to pick it up where we left off

last week in verse 12. We'll go to and through verse 15, so I'll ask you to stand if you're

able. You can follow along as I read. If not, where you're seated, is fine. The Apostle

Peter, by the Holy Spirit, is writing and says verse 12.

So I will always remind you of these things.

Even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have, I think it is right to refresh your memory as long
